FaST - Jurnal Sains dan Teknologi (Journal of Science and Technology)

1. General Requirements

FaST - Jurnal Sains dan Teknologi welcomes research articles in the areas of science and technology, particularly in food technology, biology, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, mathematics, and civil engineering. Selected reviews papers on emerging issues are also encouraged.

All submitted manuscripts must be original works that have not been previously published as journal articles and are not under simultaneous consideration by other journals. All manuscripts are evaluated based on their relevance to the journal's scope, novelty, methodological quality, scientific contribution, and compliance with publication ethics.

2. Original Research Article

Original research articles present findings from original research employing quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, experimental, descriptive, comparative, corpus analysis, discourse analysis, or other research approaches relevant to language and literary studies.

Original research articles must include, at a minimum, the following components:

  1. A title that clearly reflects the focus of the research.

  2. An abstract and keywords.

  3. An introduction that outlines the research background, problems, research gaps, and objectives.

  4. A research methodology section describing the research design, data sources, data collection techniques, and analytical procedures.

  5. Research results presented systematically.

  6. A discussion that interprets the findings and relates them to relevant scholarly literature.

Original research articles must demonstrate a clear scholarly contribution and employ appropriate methodologies to address the research problems.

3. Review Article

Review articles provide a critical synthesis of developments in knowledge, theories, concepts, approaches, or research findings within disciplines relevant to the journal's focus and scope.

Review articles may take the form of systematic reviews, integrative reviews, scoping reviews, or critical reviews, provided that the methods and approaches employed are clearly and transparently explained.

Review articles must present clearly defined research questions or objectives, a justifiable literature search and selection strategy, an in-depth analysis, and a meaningful contribution to the advancement of knowledge in the relevant field.

Manuscripts that merely summarize several sources without critical synthesis or a clear academic contribution do not meet the standards for review articles.

  2. Use clear, appropriate, and consistent academic language.

  3. Comply with the journal's prescribed formatting guidelines and manuscript template.

5. Editorial Screening and Decision

Each submitted manuscript undergoes an initial editorial screening to assess its alignment with the journal's focus and scope, administrative completeness, basic scholarly quality, and compliance with publication ethics.

Manuscripts that meet the initial requirements may proceed to the peer-review process. The journal reserves the right to request revisions, reject manuscripts, or discontinue the editorial process if a manuscript fails to meet the required scientific and publication ethics standards.

The acceptance of manuscripts is determined solely by their scholarly merit and the final editorial decision.
