Author Guidelines

Paper Identity

The title should be concise and straightforward. After the manuscript title, include the authors' names and their affiliations. Conclude this section with complete contact details for the corresponding author, including an email address.

Abstract

The abstract is written as a single paragraph. The opening sentence typically outlines the purpose of the study, followed by an explanation of the methods used. Next, provide an overview of the experimental results, and conclude with the significance of the findings and their broader implications. Include 3–6 relevant keywords.

Introduction

The introduction provides a brief review of the literature related to the research topic. It is written descriptively, starting with a general overview and gradually narrowing to the specific study being conducted. Typically, it begins with one or two paragraphs introducing the research field, followed by more focused information. The final paragraph is crucial, as it highlights the research questions and the approach taken to address them.

Method

The methods section details the research procedures used. It includes descriptions of the materials, primary methods, data collection techniques, and analysis processes. If an experimental design was implemented, this section also covers the setup. For theoretical, literature-based, or modeling research, the methodologies are clearly explained here.

Results and Discussion

The results section presents the experimental data, often using clear and engaging tables or figures. In the discussion section, interpret the findings to provide insights and context for the reader, offering guidance for future studies. All figures and tables should be accompanied by detailed explanations to ensure clarity.

Conclusion

The conclusion summarizes the main research findings and key discussion points. It ends with a statement emphasizing the contribution of the study to the broader field of research.

Article Publication: 500000.00 (IDR)

Article Processing Charges (APC)

All readers and authors of the journal "KERNEL: Jurnal Riset Inovasi Bidang Informatika dan Pendidikan Informatika" can enjoy the benefits of free open access. We believe that free open access promotes accessibility and use worldwide, serving the professional and scientific community as well as the wider community. Because there are no fees charged for access, Journal of Mechanical Engineering, Science, and Innovation offsets the cost of publication (including the costs of peer review management, journal production, online hosting, and long-term archiving) by charging article processing charges (APC) to authors, institutions, or funders for each published article.

All articles accepted after August 1st, 2026, are subject to "Article Processing Charges" to provide free access to readers and to cover the costs of peer review management, journal production, online hosting, and long-term archiving. This APC is valid for the current calendar year and may be changed at any time at the sole discretion of the publisher. The submitting author is responsible for payment of the APC and must confirm, at the time of submission, that s/he will organize payment of the APC, should the article be accepted for publication. This responsibility may not be delegated to any third party unless agreed to by the publisher. Note: APC will be billed after the article "Accepted" and will not affect the peer review process.

 

For article accepted per August 1st, 2026:

USD 35 (International author)
IDR 500000 (Domestic author)

We request that you evaluate your potential to obtain funding for the Article Processing Charge before submission, not after acceptance.

If you do not have funds to pay such fees, you will have an opportunity to waive each fee. We do not want fees to prevent the publication of worthy work.
