Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).

Author Guidelines

The article should be prepared in the form of a softcopy written in A4 paper size and a single column, with a margin of top = 2.54 cm, bottom = 2.54 cm, and side = 1.90 cm. The paragraph indentation size is 0.5 cm. The text in the sentence is typed with a 1.2 cm space, font type Arial, and font size 10 pt.

The manuscript should consist of not more than 4500 words or 15 pages, including tables and figures.

A review of the article is conducted to review whether the article meets the standard of quality criteria to be published. The manuscript will be directly rejected by editors without giving any formal reviews if: 1) the topic is not suitable to the scope of the journal, 2) the results are less beneficial, 3) the scope and purpose are not deeply formulated, 4) the findings do not improve the scientific knowledge, 5) the article is not written completely. Reviewers will review eligible manuscripts for two weeks then reviewers' notes will be delivered to authors three weeks after the first submission. Authors should send the article revision to the editor a week after receiving the reviewers' notes.

The structure of the manuscript should consist of the following items:

1. title

2. abstract

3. introduction

4. method

5. results

6. discussion

6. conclusion

7. acknowledgment (if any)

8. references

Mathematics formulas should be created by using the Microsoft equation program. Variables are italicized, and units are written in SI (not italicized).

The figure caption must be centered under each figure and in a font size of 9 pt. Captions are written separately, not attached to figures.

The table caption is written on top and typed with a 9-point font, Arial, and centered. Table captions with more than one line are typed with a 1 cm space. Horizontal lines in the table are 1 pt wide, while vertical lines are hidden.

The title should be clear, concise, and descriptive. Abbreviations and formulas should be avoided. The authors' identities should be written in full by writing the name, institution address, postal code, and email address of the corresponding author.

The abstract should be written briefly and factually in two languages, Bahasa and English, with a limit of 150 words. An abstract contains a clear discussion of the research purpose, the results, and the conclusions. The abstract should be written separately from the article. Abstracts should not contain references, but if they are indispensable, the authors' names and publication years should be included. The use of nonstandard abbreviations should be avoided, but if it is necessary, the full name should be specified.

The introduction contains the aim of the article/study that is formulated and provided by an adequate introduction and avoids the use of detailed references and the presentation of research results.

Methods applied should be provided with references, and any modifications should be described. In a literature review paper, the procedure and data analysis approach should be emphasized.

The results part is the most important portion of scientific publications since it contains the outcomes of data analysis and hypothesis testing, and tables or graphs can accompany them to help explain the results verbally.

The discussion part should provide the advantage of the research results, not the portion where the results part is repeated.

The conclusion of the study is presented briefly in the conclusion part.

References in the article should cite the last name and year. If citing some authors, it should be ordered based on the most recent reference. If citing from the article written by two authors, all authors' names should be cited. Meanwhile, if citing from the article written by three or more authors, it is cited by writing the first author's name followed by et al. The citation should be written in the reference part. Every cited reference should be entirely written in the reference part. Unpublished reference is not suggested to be cited in the article. Reference should be written according to the format of the reference. This journal requires 80% of references cited from the last ten years' articles and 80% from research articles or reports.

The manuscript is written without a hyphen (-), except for repeated words. The manuscript is rejected if the material is not suitable to the journal's scope, has poor quality, not following the writing format, contains complicated language, does not have original research, and has unresponsive correspondence.
