Abstract
An abstract of no more than 200 words should state the purposes of the study, procedures, findings and conclusions. It
should be written in Times New Roman with font size of 9. Abstract should be followed by four to eight key words to
assist cross-indexing. The key words should be ordered alphabetically and separated by commas. For your paper to be
published in the journal, you must use this document as both an instruction set and as a template into which you can type
your own text. If your paper does not conform to the required format, you will be asked to fix it. In the paper, authors are
suggested to present their articles in the sections structure: Introduction - Previous Study/Literature Review - The
Proposed Method/Algorithm/Procedure specifically designed (optional) - Research Method Results and Discussion -
Conclusion. Authors may present complex proofs of theorems or non-obvious proofs of correctness of algorithms after
introduction section (obvious theorems and straightforward proofs of existing theorems are not needed).

I. INTRODUCTION

T HIS demo file is a template for International Journal in Information and Communication Technology
(IJoICT) produced under MS.Word. The template describes page style used in IJoICT and sections that
should be written in the manuscript. Authors who want to submit their manuscript to IJoICT must follow this
template. This is important to maintain a quality of the journal. Therefore, if one paper does not conform to
the required template, the author will be asked to fix it.

A. Content of Introduction Section

In introduction, the context of the study and state the precise objective should be explained. An Introduction
should contain the following three parts: background, the problem, and proposed solution. In explaining the
background, authors have to make clear what the context is. Ideally, authors should give an idea of the state-
of-the art of the field the report is about. The problem also need to described clearly so that readers able to
understand why they should proceed reading. Authors also need to describe the proposed solution so that
readers able to point out what are the novel aspects of authors work. Authors should place the paper in proper
context by citing relevant papers.

The manuscript must use a page size corresponding to US Letter which is 215.9mm (8.5) wide and
279.4mm (11) long. The margins must be set: 30mm (1.18) for top, 30mm (1.18) for bottom, and 30mm
(1.18) for each left and right margins. The manuscript also must be in one column format. All paragraphs
must be indented. All paragraphs must be justified, i.e. both left-justified and right- justified.
Times New Roman or Times font should be used for the manuscript. Font size 10 is used in general, except
for title (24), author name (11), abstract (9), and caption for figures and tables (8). More details on the font
style used can be seen in Table I.

24 Title

All title and author details must be in single-column format and must be centered. Every word in a title
must be capitalized except for short minor words such as “a”, “an”, “and”, “as”, “at”, “by”, “for”, “from”,
“if”, “in”, “into”, “on”, “or”, “of”, “the”, “to”, “with”. To avoid confusion, the family name must be written as
the last part of each author name (e.g. Mary J. Smith). Each affiliation must include, at the very least, the
name of the company and the name of the country where the author is based (e.g. Telkom University,
Indonesia).
For section headings, no more than 3 levels of headings should be used. All headings must be in 10pt font.
Every word in a heading must be capitalized except for short minor words as listed above.

1) Level-1 Heading: A level-1 heading must be in Small Caps, centered and numbered using uppercase
Roman numerals. Please be noted that Acknowledgment and References are level-1 headings which must not
be numbered.

2) Level-2 Heading: A level-2 heading must be in Italic, left-justified and numbered using an uppercase
alphabetic letter followed by a period.

3) Level-3 Heading: A level-3 heading must be indented, in Italic and numbered with an Arabic numeral
followed by a right parenthesis. The level-3 heading must end with a colon. The body of the level-3 section
immediately follows the level-3 heading in the same paragraph. For example, this paragraph begins with a
level-3 heading.

C. Equation, Figures, and Tables

Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in
(1). Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been defined before the equation appears or immediately
following.

Figures and tables must be centered in the column. Please check all figures in your paper both on screen and
on a black-and-white hardcopy. When you check your paper on a black-and-white hardcopy, please ensure
that: the colors used in each figure contrast well, the image used in each figure is clear, and all text labels in
each figure are legible. Figures must be numbered using Arabic numerals. Figure captions must be in 8 pt
regular font. Captions of a single line must be centered whereas multi-line captions must be justified. Captions
with figure numbers must be placed after their associated figures. Example of a figure can be seen in

Fig. 1. Example of a Figure

Tables must be numbered using uppercase Roman numerals. Table captions must be centered and in 8 pt
regular font with Small Caps. Every word in a table caption must be capitalized except for short minor words
as listed before. Captions with table numbers must be placed before their associated tables, as shown in
Table.1.

D. Reference

References are written using IEEE style as seen in the reference section in this example file. Only for
example, citation in the manuscript should be written like this [1]. It is highly encouraged to use Mendeley
citation manager for the bibliography [2], [3].

II. LITERATURE REVIEW

The aim of a literature review is to show the readers that authors have read, and have a good grasp of, the
main published work concerning a particular topic or question in the field. It is very important to note that the
review should not be simply a description of what others have published in the form of a set of summaries,
but should take the form of a critical discussion, showing insight and an awareness of differing arguments,
theories and approaches. It should be a synthesis and analysis of the relevant published work, linked at all
times to your own purpose and rationale.
III. RESEARCH METHOD

The presentation of the experimental methods should be clear and complete in every detail facilitating
reproducibility by other scientists.

IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The presentation of results should be simple and straightforward. This section reports the most important
findings, including results of statistical analysis as appropriate and comparisons to other research results.
Results given in figures should not be repeated in tables. This is where Authors should explain in words what
he/she/they discovered in the research. It should be clearly laid out and in a logical sequence. This section
should be supported suitable references [4].

V. CONCLUSION

Summarize sentences the primary outcomes of the study in a paragraph. Explain if the claims in this section
supported by the results, and if they seem reasonable. Also, describe whether the result support or contradict
previous theories, and explain how the research has moved the body of scientific knowledge forward.
