Author Guidelines
BEFORE YOU START
Publications Ethics
International Journal of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management (IJIEEM) Publication Ethics are based on Committee on Publication Ethics( COPE)’s Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors from COPE’s website.
Duties of Author:
Reporting Standards:
Authors should present an accurate account of the original research performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance.
Researchers should present their results honestly and without fabrication, falsification or inappropriate data manipulation.
A manuscript should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.
Manuscripts should follow the submission guidelines of the journal.
Originality and Plagiarism:
Authors must ensure that they have written entirely original work.
The manuscript should not be submitted concurrently to more than one publication unless the editors have agreed to co-publication.
Relevant previous work and publications, both by other researchers and the authors’ own, should be properly acknowledged and referenced.
The primary literature should be cited where possible.
Original wording taken directly from publications by other researchers should appear in quotation marks with the appropriate citations.
Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publications:
Author should not in general submit the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently.
It is also expected that the author will not publish redundant manuscripts or manuscripts describing same research in more than one journal.
Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.
Multiple publications arising from a single research project should be clearly identified as such and the primary publication should be referenced
Acknowledgement of Sources:
Authors should acknowledge all sources of data used in the research and cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given.
Authorship of the Paper:
The authorship of research publications should accurately reflect individuals’ contributions to the work and its reporting.
Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to conception, design, execution or interpretation of the reported study. Others who have made significant contribution must be listed as co-authors.
In cases where major contributors are listed as authors while those who made less substantial, or purely technical, contributions to the research or to the publication are listed in an acknowledgement section.
Authors also ensure that all the authors have seen and agreed to the submitted version of the manuscript and their inclusion of names as co-authors.
Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest:
All authors should clearly disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript.
All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.
Fundamental Errors in Published Works:
If the author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in the submitted manuscript, then the author should promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
Hazards and Human or Animal Subjects:
The author should clearly identify in the manuscript if the work involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that have any unusual hazards inherent in their use.

|
Organization of the article |
In general, for Research Paper and Case Study Paper types of research should include an introduction and a comprehensive literature review sections. A comprehensive literature review is able to show gap analysis. Therefore the contributions of the research presented in the article both on theoretical development or practical application of certain methods can be clearly seen. Please note that on certain cases, introduction and literature review can be included in the introduction section when gap analysis is stated explicitly. After introduction and/or literature review sections the organization of the article may vary depending on the type of research. Suggested sections for Research Paper paper after the introduction and or literature review part: · Research methodology or proposed method/framework or Model development · Numerical example, or case study to illustrate the applicability of the proposed method/framework, or Analysis · Results/Findings and Discussion · Conclusion · References · Appendices Suggested sections for Case Study Paper after the introduction and or literature review: · Case description · Findings and Discussion · Conclusion · References · Appendices Suggested sections for Literature Review Paper: · Introduction · Review Methodology · Review Results and Discussion · Conclusion · References · Appendices |

However, for each continued table please give the title: Cont’d. This should be aligned left margin. If the size of the table is so big that it cannot be put in one page, then the table can be placed in the appendices. |

References to other publications in your text should be written as follows: · Single author: (Astanti, 2006) · Two authors: (Ai and Astanti 2006) · Three or more authors: (Ai et al., 2006) Please note, ‘et al' should always be written in italics. A few other style points. These apply to both the main body of text and your final list of references. · When referring to pages in a publication, use ‘p.(page number)’ for a single page or ‘pp.(page numbers)’ to indicate a page range. · Page numbers should always be written out in full, e.g. 175-179, not 175-9. · Where a colon or dash appears in the title of an article or book chapter, the letter that follows that colon or dash should always be lower case. · When citing a work with multiple editors, use the abbreviation ‘Ed.s’. At the end of your paper, please supply a reference list in alphabetical order using the style guidelines below. Where a DOI is available, this should be included at the end of the reference. |
