Clearly state what your research adds to the field. Begin with the problem or gap your work addresses. Then, list your key contributions—preferably in bullet points or short sentences. Focus on novelty, significance, and impact. Use active voice and avoid vague claims. Keep it concise, specific, and aligned with your paper’s objectives. Example:

• Proposed a novel method for [task].
• Demonstrated improved performance on [dataset/benchmark].
• Provided theoretical and empirical analysis.

This section should help readers quickly grasp the value of your work.

 

The author must include the following sections in the manuscript, in the order listed: Acknowledgments (if applicable), CRediT Authorship Contribution Statement, Declaration of AI Use, Declaration of Competing Interest, and Data Availability.

The guidelines for writing these sections are as follows.

 

1) Acknowledgments

Put applicable sponsor acknowledgments here; DO NOT place them on the first page of your manuscript or as a footnote. Acknowledgments should be as brief as possible, in a separate section before the references. The example of the acknowledgments is shown as follows.

"This research project was financially supported by Faculty of Informatics, Mahasarakham University [Grant No. IT-123/2567]."

3) Declaration of AI Use

Responsible Use of Generative AI in Research | At the Journal of Applied Informatics and Technology (JIT), we recognize the transformative potential of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools, such as ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs), to enhance research and scholarly publishing. These technologies can support various stages of the research process, from drafting and editing to data analysis.

To maintain academic integrity and transparency, we require that all uses of GenAI tools adhere to ethical standards. Our journal follows the guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) on AI and authorship, ensuring a responsible and accountable integration of AI in academic work.

The authors affirm that the use of AI did not compromise the integrity of the research process, and all intellectual contributions remain the responsibility of the authors. No AI tool was used to generate original scientific hypotheses or interpret experimental results without human oversight. The authors are required to include a "Declaration of AI Use" section in their manuscript, providing details such as the example below.

"This manuscript includes content generated or assisted by artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Specifically, [insert AI tool name(s), e.g., ChatGPT by OpenAI, Grammarly, etc.] were used to support tasks such as [e.g., language editing, data analysis, figure generation, literature summarization, or coding assistance]. All AI-generated content was critically reviewed and verified by the authors to ensure accuracy, originality, and compliance with ethical standards."

Authors must include a declaration of any potential conflicts of interest. If there are no conflicts, a standard statement should be included. Examples of acceptable declarations are:

• The authors declare no conflict of interest.
• The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.
