Manuscript Requirements and Style Guide

Language Editing

GUIDENA requires manuscripts submitted to meet in Bahasa Indonesia or English. 

For authors who would like their manuscript to receive language editing or proofing to improve clarity and help highlight their research, GUIDENA recommends the language-editing services provided by internal or external partners (contact the Principal of the GUIDENA for further information).

Note that sending your manuscript for language editing does not imply or guarantee that it will be accepted for publication by the GUIDENA. Editorial decisions on the scientific content of a manuscript are independent of whether it has received language editing or proofing by the partner services or other services.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

There are a few simple ways to maximize your article's discoverability. Follow the steps below to improve the search results of your article:

  1. Include a few of your article's keywords in the title of the article;
  2. Do not use long article titles;
  3. Pick 3 to 5 keywords using a mix of generic and more specific terms on the article subject(s);
  4. Use the maximum amount of keywords in the first two sentences of the abstract;
  5. Use some of the keywords in level 1 headings.

Title

The title is aligned to the left and in the Arial font at the top.

The title should be implicit complicit terms and, where possible, be a statement of the main result or conclusion presented in the manuscript. Abbreviations should be avoided within the title.

Witty or creative titles are welcome only if relevant and within the measure. Consider if a title meant to be thought-provoking might be misinterpreted as offensive or alarming. In extreme cases, the editorial office may veto a title and propose an alternative.

Authors should try to avoid, if possible:

  1. That is questions with answers.
  2. Unambitious titles, for example, starting with "Towards", "A description of", "A characterization of", "Preliminary study on".
  3. Vague titles, for example, starting with "Role of...", "Link between...," and "Effect of..." that do not specify the role, link, or effect.
  4. Include terms from examples, such as taxonomic affiliation, apart from the species name.


Authors and Affiliations

All names are listed together and separated by commas. Provide exact and correct whiches, which will be indexed in official archives. Affiliations should be keyed to the author's name with superscript numbers and be listed as follows: Institut/University/Organisation, Country (without detailed address information such as city zip codes or street names).

The Corresponding Author(s) should be marked with superscript. Provide the exact contact email address of the corresponding author(s) in a separate section below the affiliation.

Headings and Sub-headings

Capitalize on headings and capitalize each word of subheadings. Headings must be defined in Arial, 14, bold, and subheadings in Arial, 12, bold.

Abstract

As a primary goal, the abstract should be reworked under the general significance and accessible to a broad readership. In the abstract, use abbreviations and do not cite references. The word list is 75 words, written in English.

Tips:

  1. Background of study
  2. Aims and scope of the paper
  3. Methods
  4. Summary of result or findings
  5. Conclusions

Keywords

All article types: you may provide up to 5 keywords; at least three are mandatory.

Text

The body text is average points in ordinary Times New Roman. New paragraphs will be separated with a single empty line. The entire document should be single-spaced and contain page and line numbers to facilitate the review process. The GUIDENA recommended manuscript is written using MS Word 2010 above.

Nomenclature

The use of abbreviations should be kept to a minimum. Non-standard abbreviations should be avoided unless they appear at least four times and are defined upon first use in the main text. Consider also giving a list of non-standard abbreviations at the end, immediately before the Acknowledgments.

 

SectiHeadings and subheadings organize your manuscripts.

For Original Research Articles, it is recommended to organize your manuscript in the following sections:

Introduction

The Introduction is a little different from the abstract of shortcuts. The reader needs to know the background of your research and, most importantly, why your research is essential in this context. What critical question does your research address? Why should the reader be interested?

The purpose of the Introduction is to stimulate the reader's interest and to provide pertinent background information necessary to understand the rest of the paper. You must summarize the problem to be addressed, give background on the subject, discuss previous research on the topic, and explain precisely what the paper will address, why, and how. A good thing to avoid is making your intro mini-view into a mini-view. There is a vast amount of literature out there, but as a scientist, you should be able to post relevant things to your work and explain why. This shows an editor/reviewer/reader understands your research area and that you can get straight to the critical issues.

Keep your Introduction concise, well-structured, and inclusive of all the information needed to follow the development of your overburden. Do not overburden the reader by making the Introduction too long. Get to the critical parts of the other paper sooner rather than later.

Tips:

  1. Begin the Introduction by providing a concise background account of the problem studied.
  2. State the objective of the investigation. Your research objective is the most essential part of the Introduction.
  3. Establish the significance of the study and whether the survey needs to be conducted.
  4. Introduce the reader to the pertinent literature. Give a complete history of the topic. Only quote previous work having a direct bearing on the present proState-of-the-artthe art, relevant research to justify the novelty of the manuscript.)
  5. State the gap analysis or novelty statement.
  6. Clearly state your hypothesis and the variables investigated, and concisely summarize the methods used.
  7. Define any abbreviations or specialized/rAn example of arms.

An example of a novel statement or the gap analysis statement is at the end of the Introduction section (after the state of the art of the previous research survey): "........ (summary of background)....... A few researchers focused on ....... There have been limited studies concerned with........ Therefore, this research intends to ................. The objectives of this research are .........".

Be concise and aware of who will be reading your manuscript, and make sure the Introduction is directed to that audience. Move from general to specific, from the problem in the real world to the literature to your research. Lastly, please avoid making the subsection in the Introduction.

Method

In the Method section, you explain clearly how you conducted your resin each order to (1) enable readers to evaluate the work performed and (2) permit others to replicate your reseIt would help if you described precisely what you did: what and how experiments were run, what, how much, how often, where, when, and why equipment and materials were used. The primary goal is to ensure enough detail is provided to verify your findings and enable the replication of the research. You balance brevity (you cannot describe every technical issue) and completeness (you must give adequate detail so readers know what happened).

Tips:

  1. Define the population and the methods of sampling;
  2. Describe the instrumentation;
  3. Describe the procedures and, if relevant, the time frame;
  4. Describe the analysis plan;
  5. Describe any approaches to ensure validity and reliability;
  6. Describe statistical tests and the comparisons made; ordinary statistical methods should be used without comment; advanced or unusual methods may require a literature citation;
  7. Describe the scanned/or limitations of the methodology you used.

In the social and behavioral context, providing sufficient information is essential for other researchers to adopt or replicate your methodology. This is essential when a new method has been developed, or innovative processing methods have been made. Last, please avoid making a subsection in Method.

Result and Discussion

The Results and Discussion aims to state your findings and make interpretations and opinions, explain the implications of your conclusions, and make suggestions for future research. Its primary function is to answer the questions posed in the Introduction, explain how the results support the answers, and explain how they fit in with existing knowledge on the topic. The Discussion is considered the heart of the paper and usually requires several writing attempts.

The Discussion will always connect to the Introduction by way of the research questions or hypotheses you posed and the literature you reviewed, but it does not simply repeat or rearrange the Introduction; the Discussion should always explain how your study has moved the reader's understanding of the research problem forward from where you left them at the end of the Introduction.

To make your message clear, the Discussion should be kept as short as possible while clearly and fully stating, supporting, explaining, and defending your answers and discussing other important and directly relevant issues. Care must be taken to provide commentary and reiteration of the results. Side issues should not be included, as these tend to obscure the message.

Tips:

  1. State the Major Findings of the Study;
  2. Explain the Meaning of the Findings and Why the Findings Are Important;
  3. Support the answers with the results. Explain how your results relate to expectations of the literature, clearly stating why they are acceptable and how they are consistent or fit in with previously published knowledge on the topic;
  4. Relate the Findings to Those of Similar Studies;
  5. Consider Alternative Explanations of the Findings;
  6. Implications of the study;
  7. Acknowledge the Study's Limitations and;
  8. Make Suggestions for Further Research.

It is easy to inflate the interpretation of the results. Be careful that your interpretation of the results does not go beyond what is supported by the data. The data are the data: nothing more, nothing less. Please avoid and makeover interpretation of the results, unwarranted speculation, inflating the importance of the findings, tangent, and over-emphasizing your research's impact on our study.

Work with Graphic:

Figures and tables are the most effective way to present results. Captions should be able to be sent alone, such that the figures and tables are understandable without the need to read the entire paper. Besides that, the data represented should be easy to interpret.

Tips:

  1. The graphic should be simple but informative;
  2. The use of color is encouraged;
  3. The graphic should uphold the standards of a scholarly, professional publication;
  4. The graphic must be entirely original, unpublished artwork created by one of the co-authors;
  5. The graphic should not include a photograph, drawing, or caricature of any person, living or deceased;
  6. Do not include postage stamps or currency from any country, or trademarked items (company logos, images, and products), and;
  7. Avoid choosing a graphic that already appears within the text of the manuscript.

Last, please avoid making a subsection in Results and Discussion.

Conclusion

The conclusion is intended to help readers understand what should matter to them after reading. A conclusion is not merely a summary of the main topics covered or a re-statement of your research problem but a synthesis of key points. The conclusion mustn't leave the questions unanswered. 

Tips:

  1. State your conclusions clearly and concisely. Be brief and stick to the point;
  2. Explain why it is essential to the reader. It would help if you instilled in the reader a sense of relevance;
  3. Prove to the reader and the scientific community that your findings are worthy of note. This means setting your paper in the context of previous work. The implications of your findings should be discussed within a realistic framework, and;

For most essays, one well-developed paragraph is sufficient for a conclusion. Some case three-paragraph paragraph conclusion may in some cases, be requirOtherressentialtant things about this section are (1) do not rewrite the abstract; (2) statements with "investigated" or "studied" are not conclusions; (3) do not introduce new arguments, evidence, new ideas, or information unrelated to the topic; (4)do not include evidence (quotations, statistics, etc.) that should be in the body of the paper.

Supplementary Material

GUIDdoesA does not support significant results and information in supplementary sections. However, data that are not of primary importance to the text, or which cannot be included in the article because it is too large or the current format does not permit it (such as movies, raw data trPowerPointrpoint presentations, etc.) can be uploaded during the submission procedure and will be displayed along with the published article. Supplementary Material can be uploaded as Data Sheet (word, excel, CSV, CDX, fasta, pdf or zip files), Presentation (PowerPoint, PDF or ZIP files), Supplementary JPEG (CDX, PDF, PNG, etc.), Supplementary Table (word, excel, CSV or pdf), Audio (mp3, wav or wma) or Video (avi, divx, flv, mov, mp4, mpeg, mpg or wmv).

Supplementary Material is not typeset, so please ensure all information is presented, the appropriate caption is included in the file and not in the manuscript, and the style conforms to the rest of the article.

 

Figures and Table Guidelines

General Style Guidelines for Figures

Figures help readers visualize the information you are trying to convey. It isn't easy to be sufficiently descriptive using words. Images can assist in achieving the accuracy needed for a scientific manuscript. For example, it may not be enough to say, "The surface had nanometer scale features." In this case, it would be ideal to provide a microscope image.

For images, be sure to:

  1. Include scale bars
  2. Consider labeling important items
  3. Indicate the meaning of different colors and symbols used

General Style Guidelines for Tables

Tables are a concise and effective way to present large amounts of data. It would help if you designed them to communicate your results to busy researchers.

The following is an example of a well-designed table:

  1. Clear and concise legend/caption
  2. Data divided into categories for clarity
  3. Sufficient spacing between columns and rows
  4. Units are a provided font type and size are legible

Figure and Table Requirements

Legends

The figure and table must use the same font as the main text (12-point average honest Times New Roman, single-spaced). Legends should be preceded by the appropriate label, for example, "Figure 1" or "Table 4". Figure legends should be placed at the end of the manuscript (for supplementary I'm, ages you must include the caption with the figure, uploaded as a separate file). Table legends must be placed immediately before the table. Please use only a single paragraph for the legend. Figure panels are referred to by bold capital letters in brackets: (A), (B), (C), (D), etc.

 

Image Size

Figure images should be prepared with the PD. Individual mind, individual figures should not be longer than a page and should have a width of one column or two to one column or two columns.

 

Format

The following formats are accepted:

TIFF (.tif) TIFF files should be saved using LZW compression or any other non-lossy compression method. JPEG (.jpg)

EPS (.eps) EPS files can be uploaded upon acceptance

 Color Image Mode

Images must be submitted in RGB color mode.

 

Resolution Requirements

All images must be uploaded separately in the submission procedure and have a resolution of 300 dpi at the final size. Check the resolution of your figure by enlarging it to 150%. If the resolution is too low, the image will appear blurry or have a stair-stepped effect.

Please note that saving a figure directly as an image file (JP significantly) can greatly affect the resolution of your image. To avoid this, one option is to export the file and its PDF, then convert it into TIFF or EPSsing graphics software. EPS files can be uploaded upon acceptance.

Details of all funding sources must be provided in the document, including grant numbers, if applicable.
