Policies

The Journal of Emerging Technologies and Computing (JETC) is a peer-reviewed, open-access national and international scientific journal. JETC considers original research articles that have not been previously published in other outlets, focusing on computer science, infocommunication technologies, and mathematical studies with applied aspects. This guideline has been developed in accordance with the policy of SDU University regarding scientific publications and the following regulatory documents of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan: “On approval of the requirements for scientific publications for inclusion in the list of recommended publications for the publication of research results”, “On approval of the rules for awarding degrees” – Order No. 127 of the Minister of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated March 31, 2011.

The aim of JETC is to foster scientific research in the fields of computer science, infocommunication technologies, and their applied mathematical aspects, and to publish the research results of Kazakhstani and international scholars.

Scientific focus areas of the journal include: applications of computer science, infocommunication technologies, and mathematics with applied aspects.

JETC is published four times a year (in March, June, September, and December). All submissions undergo a double-blind peer review by at least two reviewers. Articles that successfully pass the full peer-review process, fully meet the journal's requirements, and are approved through joint discussion by the reviewers and editorial board, are considered for early access publication.

Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence Tools

The JETC editorial board does not support the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) programs to write sections of manuscripts. Authors who use generative AI tools are advised to follow the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

According to COPE, if AI tools are used in writing, generating images or graphical elements, or collecting and analyzing data, authors must disclose how and which specific tool was used in the Methodology and Methods section of the manuscript. Authors remain fully responsible for the content of their manuscript, including sections produced with AI assistance.

Furthermore, authors should not list AI tools or AI-assisted technologies as co-authors, as authorship implies responsibilities and rights that apply only to humans.

When the manuscript is first submitted, a declaration regarding the use of AI tools must be included. This declaration should be made during the upload process in the journal’s online submission system. This requirement does not apply to basic tools used only for grammar, spelling, or reference checking. If authors have nothing to declare, no statement is required.

Publication Fee

Publishing in the JETC scientific journal is free of charge. The journal does not require any payment for submission or publication unless otherwise specified in the university's internal policy on scientific publications.
