Author Guidelines

Journal of Privacy-Aware Computing Systems welcomes original, technically sound, and ethically prepared manuscripts in privacy-aware computing, cybersecurity, trusted computing, secure information systems, data protection, digital identity, access control, privacy-preserving technologies, and responsible data-driven systems.

Manuscript Types

The journal considers original research articles, review articles, technical studies, threat model papers, security architecture papers, system design papers, case studies, experimental studies, and application-oriented manuscripts.

Manuscript Preparation

Authors should prepare manuscripts with a clear title, complete author details, abstract, keywords, introduction, methodology, system model or framework, results, discussion, conclusion, acknowledgements where applicable, declarations, and references. Figures and tables must be numbered, clearly titled, and cited in the manuscript text.

Originality

Submissions must be original and must not be under consideration by another journal at the time of submission. Authors are responsible for ensuring that the manuscript does not contain plagiarized, duplicated, or improperly reused content.

Technical and Ethical Clarity

Manuscripts should clearly explain the privacy, security, trust, or data protection problem being addressed. Where systems, datasets, experiments, user data, security evaluations, or threat models are involved, authors should describe methods, assumptions, safeguards, limitations, and ethical considerations clearly.

References

References should be accurate, complete, and relevant. Authors should cite appropriate prior work in privacy, security, computing systems, data protection, and related fields. Excessive self-citation or irrelevant citation practices should be avoided.

Ethical Declarations

Authors should include declarations related to conflicts of interest, funding, data availability, author contributions, ethical approval, privacy safeguards, and use of AI tools where applicable.

Submission

Authors should submit manuscripts through the journal submission system and follow all instructions provided during the submission process.
