Start with the essentials

Article length

Original research and reviews: normally 6,000–9,000 words, including tables, figures, and references.

Working format

Microsoft Word; A4; one column; 12-point Times New Roman; double spacing; 2.5 cm margins; continuous line numbers.

Title & abstracts

Title: up to 20 words. Provide English and Bahasa Indonesia abstracts, each up to 250 words, and 4–6 keywords.

References

APA 7th edition. Follow the official guideline on primary literature and recent references.

Use the current journal template and read the complete official submission instructions for detailed formatting and examples.

Prepare your submission package

This checklist is a preparation aid; ticking it does not submit or save a manuscript.

Organize the manuscript

Original research

Use the following sequence: title; abstracts and keywords; introduction; materials and methods; combined results and discussion; conclusions; acknowledgements; funding; author contributions; competing interests and relevant AI disclosure; references. Explain the research gap, methods, analyses, and limitations clearly.

Review articles

Use an appropriate structure with abstracts, introduction, critical discussion, conclusions, acknowledgements, funding where relevant, contribution and competing-interest statements, and references. Explain how the literature was identified and selected so readers can assess the basis of the synthesis.

Methods, figures & references
  • Report SI units, define abbreviations, and italicize scientific species names.
  • Describe procedures and analysis sufficiently for evaluation and replication; state ethics approval for studies involving animal or human subjects.
  • Provide editable tables and charts. Supply bitmap figures at a minimum of 300 dpi and upload each figure separately as instructed.
  • For manuscripts in Bahasa Indonesia, provide bilingual figure and table captions. For manuscripts in English, use English captions.
  • Check every in-text citation against the reference list. The official guide calls for at least 80% primary references published within the preceding ten years.

Templates & submission

Submit through the OJS submission system. Register or sign in first. Incomplete or non-compliant files may be returned before peer review.

Before editorial assessment

Follow the Plagiarism Policy and Authorship & Contributions guidance. Requests to withdraw a manuscript under review should be explained formally to the Editor-in-Chief; consult the complete submission rules before submitting.
