Author Guidlines

Manuscript Type

EPSILON: Journal of Electrical Engineering, published by Universitas Jenderal Achmad Yani (UNJANI), welcomes original scientific manuscripts that contribute to the advancement of knowledge, technology, and practical applications in the field of electrical engineering. Submitted manuscripts must represent original work that has not been previously published and is not currently under consideration for publication in any other journal or scientific publication.

The journal considers the following types of manuscripts:

  1. Original Research Article: Reports original research findings with clear novelty, a well-defined methodology, systematic data analysis, and contributions to the advancement of electrical engineering science and technology.

  2. Review Article: Presents a comprehensive and critical review of relevant scientific literature, covering recent developments, research trends, challenges, and future opportunities in electrical engineering.

  3. Applied Research and Engineering Case Study: Presents applied research or engineering case studies focusing on the design, modeling, simulation, implementation, testing, evaluation, or optimization of electrical engineering systems and technologies to address practical challenges in industry and society.

All manuscripts must align with the aims and scope of EPSILON, adhere to established standards of scientific writing, provide relevant and verifiable references, and comply with the journal's author guidelines. Submitted manuscripts are subject to editorial evaluation and peer review in accordance with the journal's publication policies before a final publication decision is made.

All articles should follow the writing procedures that have been determined by the Editor Team.

Author Information

  1. The author’s name should be fully written (no abbreviations or nicknames) and followed by a serial number written in superscript stating the origin of the institution.
  2. The name of the author's institution is written in the following order: department, faculty, institution, and country of origin.

Abstract

Abstract should be written either in Indonesia and English. Maximum word length in abstract is 200 words by Times New Roman font with 10 point size in italic form.

Keywords

Abstract is followed by keywords, 3either in English and Indonesian, minimum  3 words. Keyword must be ordered alphabetically, separated by comma and contains the main themes and most important terms  frequently discussed.

Introduction

This template is modified in MS Word so that the author can use the format according to the style of each section in his paper. All papers have standards. All document standards are intended for: (1) ease of use, (2) automatic compliance with documentation and compilation requirements and (3) conformity of style in all papers in the Electrical Engineering UNJANI. Page margins, column widths, line spacing, and styles are set. Some components, such as equations, graphs, and tables are not defined, but styles are available. All style formats can be built into this document.

Method

The method should contain a theory or model approach, model justification, model completion, and solution. The literature review should contain basic phenomena and the relation between the phenomena studied and basic theories. Units used are International Standard (IS), such as meters (m) for length, kilograms (Kg) or grams (g) for weight, and others

Result and Discussion

Result and discussion contains the data served with the tables and/or images and also analysis the discussion scientifically. Table and images are given numbers with Arabic numerals and titles. Table listing should be arranged so that the maximum width is 16.5 cm. The inclusion of images needs to pay attention to the entire image width (16.5 cm) and the grayscale color scheme.

Conclusion

Summary should be written briefly and clearly, not repeating the result and discussion section for multiple times. It may include any recommendations.

Acknowledgment 

Authors express gratitude for A organization for financial support and B organization for participation in this scientific activity.

Authorship Criteria

EPSILON is committed to maintaining transparency, fairness, and accountability in determining authorship of scholarly publications. Authorship should reflect substantial intellectual contributions to the research and manuscript, as well as responsibility for the integrity and accuracy of the published work.

To qualify as an author of a manuscript submitted to EPSILON, each individual must meet all of the following criteria:

  1. Substantial Contribution: Make a substantial contribution to the conception or design of the research, the acquisition of data, or the analysis or interpretation of research findings.
  2. Manuscript Preparation: Participate in drafting the manuscript or critically reviewing it for important intellectual content.
  3. Final Approval: Approve the final version of the manuscript to be submitted for publication.
  4. Accountability: Agree to be accountable for all aspects of the work and ensure that any questions concerning its accuracy or integrity are appropriately investigated and resolved.

These criteria are based on the authorship recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).

Responsibilities of Authors

All authors are responsible for ensuring that the submitted manuscript represents original work, that all sources are properly acknowledged, and that the research is reported accurately and ethically. Each author must be able to identify their own contributions and understand the contributions of their co-authors.

The corresponding author is responsible for coordinating communication with the editorial office throughout the submission, peer-review, and publication processes. The corresponding author must ensure that all co-authors have reviewed and approved the final manuscript and agreed to its submission to EPSILON.

Order of Authorship

The order of authors must be determined collectively by all authors before manuscript submission and should reflect their respective scholarly contributions. All authors must agree on the final author list and the order in which their names appear in the manuscript.

Any request to add, remove, or rearrange authors after submission must be accompanied by a clear justification and written agreement from all affected authors, including any individual being added or removed. Such changes are subject to editorial review and approval.

Contributions That Do Not Qualify for Authorship

Activities that do not independently meet the authorship criteria include obtaining funding, providing general supervision, performing routine administrative tasks, collecting data without substantial intellectual contribution, and providing language editing, proofreading, or technical assistance.

Individuals whose contributions do not satisfy all authorship criteria should be acknowledged appropriately in the Acknowledgments section, with their permission.

EPSILON does not permit gift authorship (listing individuals who have not made qualifying contributions) or ghost authorship (excluding individuals who have made qualifying contributions). All contributors must be recognized fairly and transparently in accordance with their actual contributions.

Use of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including generative AI applications, cannot be listed as authors because they cannot assume responsibility or accountability for scholarly work. Authors who use AI tools in preparing a manuscript must disclose their use in accordance with the journal's applicable policies and remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, integrity, and proper attribution of all submitted content.

Authorship Disputes

All authors are expected to resolve authorship disagreements through good-faith discussion before submission. If a dispute cannot be resolved among the authors, EPSILON may request clarification or supporting documentation and may refer the matter to the relevant institution for investigation, as appropriate. The journal reserves the right to take appropriate editorial action in accordance with its publication ethics policies.

By submitting a manuscript to EPSILON, the corresponding author confirms that all listed authors meet the journal's authorship criteria, have approved the final manuscript, and agree to its submission for consideration for publication.
