Author Guidelines
The followings are the steps for the Authors in formatting the articles:
Abstract
Arranged in one paragraph between 100-200 words and provides an overview of the study or research conducted. The abstract contains the following components: 1) background: briefly explain the motivation and significance (importance) of the research; position the research question in a broad context and present the purpose of the research; 2) method: briefly describe the method used to achieve the goal; 3) results: summarize the main research findings in the article; and 4) conclusions: convey the main conclusions or interpretations of the research results. Abstract writing style should not be the same as the contents of the manuscript. (Times New Roman 11 pt space 1, Italic).
Introduction (Fira Sans Light size 12 pt sp 1.0)
The introduction should contain the background of the problem, problems, and research objectives. The introduction contains several components including the research context, the importance and necessity of the research being carried out, a summary of the theoretical studies related to the research material, and the research objectives and their significance. There should be no sub-chapters in the introduction. Before the objective and after the literature review, the author must state a gap analysis or novelty statement to show why this manuscript is important and what are the unique ideas from which it can be compared with other researchers' previous suggestions. Avoid plagiarism by paraphrasing the references referred to and writing the references correctly (Times New Roman size 11 pt sp 1.0).
Method
This section describes in detail how the research was conducted to answer each research objective. The subject matter of this section includes (use what is relevant) research locations, data used, research design, research objectives, data collection techniques, instrument development, data analysis, and results accuracy testing.
Sub-chapter
Method components can be written in sub-chapters systematically and logically. The research method is written in detail, concisely, and clearly so that it can be repeated by other researchers who wish to conduct similar research. Include relevant references to the research methods used. Every foreign term must be written in italics. A brief flowchart of research methods can be added if space in the manuscript is still possible.
Result and Discussion
This section can be divided into several sub-chapters which briefly and clearly explain the main research findings, their interpretations, and their significance. Research results can be reported in the form of sentences, images (maps, graphs, illustrations, charts, photos), tables, or relevant equations. All figures and tables must be numbered sequentially, accompanying information, and sources, and must be referred to in the text before the figures or tables appear in the manuscript. Image resolution ≥300 dpi and may not contain badges/attributes/symbols/logos from any agencies, institutions, or universities. Please write some introduction before presenting the information in tables or figures. Images or tables taken directly (without changes) from other publications (e.g journal articles, proceedings, books, websites) must obtain permission to use copyright from the publisher concerned, accompanied by a page where the figure or table is in the source publication. Writing in-text citations for figures and tables starts with a capital letter, for example, Figure 1 or Table 1. Each figure is accompanied by a description of the image below it. Examples of presenting figures, tables, and equations can be seen in Figure 1, Table 1, and equation (1) as follows:
The discussion is delivered by comparing the results of the research with the results of studies that have been previously reported to evaluate the contribution of the research conducted. Therefore, in this section, the analysis must address the stated gaps. The following components should be covered in the discussion: How do your results relate to the initial questions or objectives outlined in the background (what) section? Do you provide a scientific interpretation of each of your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results consistent with what other researchers have reported (what else)? Or is there a difference?.
Equations in the form of mathematical formulas or similar must be written separately from the main text and given the serial number of the equation in brackets () which is placed on the right margin. Cite the source if the equation comes from a particular library. Writing mathematical equations should use the Insert Equation function in a word processing program (not in the form of a copy-pasted image).
where Q(t) is the in-cell runoff at time step i (m3/s), P_e(t) is the excess rain depth in the time steps (m), t is the fraction of time (s), dan A cell size (m2).
Each abbreviation must be given an abbreviation statement the first time the abbreviation appears in the text, for example, Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR). Furthermore, the following abbreviations can be directly used in the text of the manuscript..
Conclusion
Conclusions convey answers to hypotheses and/or research objectives or scientific findings obtained. The conclusion does not contain a repetition of the results and discussion, but a summary of the findings as expected of the objectives or hypotheses. At the end of the conclusion, you can write down the weaknesses and suggestions related to the research conducted, or the agenda for further research from this research. The conclusion is written in paragraph form, not point by point.
Acknowledgment
In this section, the author can give appreciation to someone or an institution who assisted in this research both administratively and technically. For example, providing language assistance, writing, reading the proof of articles, expert discussions, and so on. They must be remembered. If the research uses research funding sources or not. The statement can be written "This research was not funded by external funding sources" or "This research was funded by [name of funder] with SK/contract number [SK/funding contract number]".
Reference
Writing a bibliography follows the style of the American Psychological Association (APA) ver 6. Only references that have been read are listed in the bibliography. At least 20 references and more than 80% of the bibliography are the latest primary references (journals). It is recommended to use a bibliography management application such as Microsoft Word citations, Mendeley, Zotero, or Endnote. Writing references in the text (in-text citation) is written as follows:
- Single author: Whitten (2020) …. or …. (Whitten, 2010).
- Two authors: Yo & Xou (2018) …. or …. (Yo & Xou, 2018).
- Three authors or more: Zheng et al. (2019) …. or …. (Zheng et al., 2019).
- Multiple references: Osok (2020) and Arsyad et al. (2019) …. or …. (Osok, 2020; Arsyad et al., 2019).
- Same author and year: Pham (2010a) and Pham (2010b) …. or …. (Pham, 2010a, b).
- Instance: BPBD (2022) …. or …. (BPBD, 2022).
