Focus And Scope

NUANSA INFORMATIKA is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by the Faculty of Computer Science, Universitas Kuningan, Indonesia. The journal publishes original, methodologically sound, and evidence-based contributions in Computer Science, Informatics, and Information Technology. It welcomes theoretical, empirical, experimental, and applied studies that clearly identify a research problem, demonstrate scientific novelty or a substantive contribution, and provide rigorous analysis and evaluation.

Interdisciplinary studies are considered when their primary research contribution is relevant to computing, informatics, or information technology rather than only to the application domain.

Types of Manuscripts

Original Research Articles (primary article type)

Studies presenting original findings or a demonstrable scientific or technological contribution, a clearly described methodology, appropriate evaluation, critical discussion of results, and conclusions supported by evidence.

Systematic Review Articles and Meta-Analyses

Rigorous and reproducible syntheses of published research, with explicit research questions, transparent search and selection methods, appropriate quality appraisal, and a novel, critical synthesis of evidence. Descriptive or narrative literature summaries without a systematic method and substantial analytical contribution are not considered.

Research-based case studies may be submitted under the Original Research Article category only when they contain a defined research question, systematic methodology, sufficient empirical validation, critical analysis, and transferable scholarly insights. Reports limited to implementing an application or describing a local system without substantive evaluation are outside the journal’s publication priorities.

Editorial Screening and Peer Review

The editorial team first assesses manuscripts for relevance to the journal’s focus and scope, originality, methodological adequacy, research contribution, ethical compliance, and conformity with the Author Guidelines. Manuscripts that do not meet these requirements may be declined without external review.

Every manuscript that proceeds to external review is evaluated through a double-blind peer review process by at least two independent reviewers. The editorial decision is based on the reviewers’ assessments and the editors’ evaluation of the manuscript.
