Submissions

Author Guidelines

Submission should be done online at our website.  An acknowledge letter will be sent to the corresponding author's email address posthaste of submission. This letter indicates that we have received your submission and not as an indicator of the journal's acceptance.

We encourage all authors to register for an ORCID iD (ORCiD) and include their ORCiD in their author profile at or before manuscript submission.

1. Article Types

Research article

Research articles are comprehensive research reports containing detailed descriptions of experimental work, clearly interpreting and discussing the theoretical and experimental results and data. Research articles should be arranged in the headings Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgment, and References. The normal length of the manuscript is 5 - 15 pages single-spaced (8000 words). The abstract must not exceed 250 words. The manuscript template of the research article can be downloaded here.

Short communications

Short communications are concise documents for providing brief novel findings that have inadequate content to satisfy a full-length research article. They are intended to be used for the reporting of preliminary studies or short descriptive studies.

Short communications are limited to 2000 words. The manuscript should be arranged in the same way as Research Articles, except it is only divided into an introduction, main body and references and should include no more than six figures or tables combined. The abstract must not exceed 100 words. 

Review article

A systematic review is a review of a clearly formulated question that uses systematic and reproducible methods to identify, select and critically appraise all relevant research, and to collect and analyse data from the studies that are included in the review.

A systematic review should answer a focused research question, employs a comprehensive, reproducible search strategy, identifies all relevant studies (both published and unpublished), assesses all results for inclusion/exclusion, and for quality, and presents an unbiased, balanced summary of findings.

The reviews should be divided into sections with relevant headings. The format of the References section is the same as that of the Research Articles. While there is no restriction on the length of the review, it is recommended that the manuscript contain no more than 40 pages double-spaced, including display items and references. References should be no more than 80. The abstract must not exceed 250 words.

2. General Instructions

• Manuscripts could be written in English and Bahasa Indonesia.
• Format manuscripts for A4 (21 x 30 cm) paper.
• Number all pages sequentially.
• Use Times New Roman 12 pt font. Use italics only for scientific names.
• Use metric units of measurement.

3. Article Structure

INTRODUCTION

The introduction is about 400-800 words, covering the aims of the research and providing an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Indicate the aims of the research in the last paragraph. The number of references in the INTRODUCTION is at least 5 references, from the latest articles, the last 10 years.

The manuscript of the original research should be written in no more than 8,000 words (including tables and pictures), or proportional to articles in this publication number. Review articles will be accommodated, while, short communication should be written in about 2,000 words, except for pre-study.

The manuscript is typed on white paper of A4 (210x297 mm²) size, 12-point Times New Roman font. Smaller lettering sizes can be applied in presenting tables and figures (10 pt). Word processing programs or additional software can be used, however, it must be PC-compatible and Microsoft Word based (.doc or .docx). Scientific names of species (incl. subspecies, variety, etc.) should be written in italic, except for italic sentences. Scientific names (genera, species, author), and cultivars or strains should be mentioned completely for the first time mentioning it in the body text, especially for taxonomic manuscripts. The name of genera can be shortened after the first mention, except for generating confusion. Name of the author can be eliminated after the first mention. For example, Rhizopus oryzae L. UICC 524, hereinafter can be written as R. oryzae UICC 524. Using trivial names should be avoided, otherwise generating confusion. Biochemical and chemical nomenclature should follow the order of the IUPAC - IUB. For DNA sequences, it is better to use Courier New font. Symbols of standard chemicals and abbreviations of chemistry names can be applied for common and clear use, for example, completely written butilic hydroxytoluene (BHT) to be BHT hereinafter. Metric measurement use IS denomination, and usage of other systems should follow the value of equivalent with the denomination of IS first mentioned. Abbreviations set of, like g, mg, mL, etc. do not follow by a dot. Minus index (m^-2, L^-1, h^-1) suggested being used, except in things like “per-plant” or “per-plot”. Equation of mathematics does not always can be written down in one column with text, in that case, can be written separately. Numbers one to ten is expressed with words, except if it relates to measurement, while values above them are written in number, except in early sentence. The fraction should be expressed in decimal. In the text, it should be used “%” rather than “per cent”. Avoid expressing ideas with complicated sentence and verbiage, and used efficient and effective sentence.

Citation in manuscript is written in “name and year” system; and is arranged from oldest to newest and from A to Z. In citing an article written by two authors, both of them should be mentioned, however, for three and more authors, only the last (family) name of the first author is mentioned, followed by et al. (non italic), for example: Salim and Indah (2006) or (Bergeys 2003a, b, c; Malik 2004; (Damayanti, 2010); (Asgar & Rahayu, 2014); (Tangapo et al., 2012). A total of 80% of the references should be from scientific journals published in the last five years, except for taxonomic studies. Names of journals should be abbreviated according to the ISSN List of Title Word Abbreviations (www.issn.org/2-22661-LTWA-online.php).

MATERIALS AND METHODS  

Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described. Please describe whether the study is experimental or exploration. Name the number of samples and give courtesy to whom you obtain the sample. State seasonal variation of the habitat (if applicable) or date of sampling. Human materials should be collected in conformation with standard ethics and with written informed consent.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Results and Discussion should be written as a series of connecting sentences, however, manuscripts with long discussions should be divided into subtitles. Results should be clear and concise. The number of references in theRESULT AND DISCUSSION is at least 10 references, from the latest articles, the last 10 years.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Acknowledgements are expressed in a brief; all sources of institutional, private and corporate financial support for the work must be fully acknowledged, and any potential conflicts of interest are noted.
