Authorship Criteria

Authorship of a manuscript published in Riau Jurnal Teknik Informatika (RJTI) must be based on a substantive contribution to the work. In line with recognized authorship standards, each listed author is expected to have:

1. Made a substantial contribution to the conception or design of the work, or to the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data;
2. Drafted the work or revised it critically for important intellectual content;
3. Approved the final version to be published; and
4. Agreed to be accountable for all aspects of the work.

All authors must approve the submitted and final versions of the manuscript. Individuals who contributed to the work but do not meet all of these criteria (for example, funding acquisition, general supervision, or technical assistance) should be acknowledged in the Acknowledgements section rather than listed as authors.

The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all listed authors meet the authorship criteria and that the author list and order are agreed upon by all authors. Any change to authorship after submission (addition, removal, or reordering of authors) requires written agreement from all authors. Generative AI tools cannot be listed as authors.
