1. Manuscript Format
1.1. Manuscript Format: Title and Abstract
Select a title that accurately and clearly tells what the paper is about. Choose title terms as highly specific as content and emphasis of the paper permit. The typical length is might 6 to 12 words. Avoid special symbols and formulas in titles unless essential to indicate content. An abstract is essential for each paper with 200 to 300 words for a regular paper and 100 words for a short paper. The abstract should state the objectives of the work, summarize the results, and give the principal conclusions. Abstracts must not include mathematical expressions or bibliographic references. Non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.
1.2. Manuscript Format: Figure and Table
Figures include graphs of results, schematic drawings, samples of output screen dumps, and photographs of special equipment or displays. Each figure should be numbered and have a caption. Care should be taken to ensure that the legends and labels within the figure are large enough to be readable after they are reduced. For final submissions, high quality (at least 600 dpi) figures should be included. Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text. Place footnotes to tables below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters.
1.3. Manuscript Format: Reference
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. The followings are examples for references:

2. Peer Review Process
JISIS adopts the single-blind peer review process as follows:
This journal follows a single-blind peer review process to ensure the quality and integrity of published research. In this model, the reviewers know the identity of the authors, but the authors remain unaware of the reviewers’ identities.
Submitted manuscripts undergo an initial editorial check to assess suitability, relevance, and adherence to journal guidelines. Once deemed appropriate, the manuscript is sent to expert reviewers in the relevant field for evaluation.
Reviewers assess the manuscript for originality, scientific rigor, clarity, and contribution to the field. They provide constructive feedback, suggesting revisions or improvements where needed.
The final publication decision — whether to accept, reject, or request revisions — is based on the reviewers’ recommendations and the editor’s judgment.
Single-blind review helps maintain objective and fair evaluation while encouraging honest feedback from reviewers. This process upholds research quality, ensuring that only high-standard work is published. Our commitment is to maintain transparency, fairness, and the integrity of the peer review system.
There are two types of revisions: major or minor. For a major revision, original referees will be invited to review the manuscript again, and make a recommendation. For a minor revision, no more reviews are required. The Editor-in-Chief (Prof. Dr. Ilsun You) makes the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection. Both the content and format must be acceptable for a manuscript to be approved.
3. Once Accepted
If the reviewed manuscript is acceptable, we will send you a detailed guide and an author checklist for final manuscript submission requirements. And each author will be asked to sign a copyright form. Please note that the manuscript will not be published without the signed copyright form.As an open access title, publishing an article in this journal requires an Open Access Charge that will be billed to the submitting author following acceptance. Apart from this Open Access Charge there are no other fees (for example submission charges, page charges, or color charges).
The Open Access Charge for the journal is $1200.
4. For the authors of conference (or workshop) papers
