All submissions are bound by THETA OMEGA: Journal of Electrical Engineering, Computer, and Information Technology.

Peer Review Process

All submitted articles are subject to assessment and peer review to ensure editorial appropriateness and technical correctness. In order for an article to be accepted for publication, the assigned Editor will first consider if the manuscript meets minimum editorial standards and fits within the scope of the journal. If an article is within scope, then the review process is carried out by two reviewers by applying the Double-Blind Peer Review, approving the article received and requesting repairs. After that, the results of the review will be sent back to the author for improvement. Decisions to accept or reject are at the discretion of the Editor.

Structure of Manuscripts

The manuscript must be prepared and suggested present following the structure:

  • Title : The title should be concise and indicate the identity of the subject, the research objectives, and keywords.

  • Author name : The author's name without academic degrees and not preceded by the word "by" followed by the name of the institution, address of institution and contact email.

  • Abstract : abstract should be written in English, ranging between 100-200 words. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, research materials and methods, the principal results, and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.The abstract is written using Times new roman font 9 pt in a single column format. Keywords are written below the text of the abstract and separated by comma. Keywords should be written using Times New Roman font 9 pt.

  • Keyword : Use keywords can describe the content of article. It is written in 3 to 5 words.

  • Introduction : Basically, in the introduction provides general background research, literature review (state of the art), originality of research (gap analysis), and research objectives. In the literature review, there are at least five articles reviewed briefly that can justify the novelty of the research.

  • Research Method : In the methods section provides a summary of the methods used, such as the subjects studied, tools and materials used, model or design used, sampling technique, the measured variable, analysis and statistical models used.

  • Result : In the results section contains the presentation of the results of research can be illustrated using tables or figures to clarify the presentation of the results verbally. The data presented is data that is processed, not raw data.

  • Discussion : material discussion mainly concerned, whether the results are consistent with the hypothesis or not, and put forward the argument.

  • Conclusion : write the conclusions of the research that has been done and future works. The conclusion must answer the purpose of the study or hypothesis. Write the conclusion briefly and clearly. Do not discuss again at the conclusion. Do not use Bullet / Numbering.

  • Acknowledgements: Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article before the references and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those individuals who provided help during the research (e.g., providing language help, writing assistance or proof reading the article, etc.).

A more detailed writing instruction can be seen and downloaded from the THETA OMEGA website in the template section.

    Quotes and references are written according to IEEE standards/styles (see the template on the THETA OMEGA website).

    Quotes are numbered in the format [1], [2], [3], ... according to their order. Refer simply to the reference number, as in [3] do not use Ref. [3] or reference [3] except at the beginning of a sentence: Reference [3] was the first ...

    The main reference should be within the last 5 years.

    Wikipedia, personal blog, and non-scientific websites must not be cited and used as references

  7. Algorithm:

    Algorithms and program listings are written as parts of a paragraph and are not regarded as pictures or tables.
