MANUSCRIPT STYLE
An acceptable manuscript will meet the following general criteria: it reports a worthwhile contribution to science, sound methodology was used and is explained with sufficient detail so that other capable scientists could repeat the experiments. Conclusions are supported by data, manuscripts is concise, well written, and understandable
The manuscript should be structured into the following sections:
- Title Page– This section contains manuscript title with maximum of 18 words and should be written in English using title case style, authors’ names (without academic title) and affiliation (including address, postal code, country, email, and contact). Different author affiliations should be marked with superscript numbering 1, 2, 3, etc. The corresponding author should be marked with the superscript asterisk “*”.
- Abstract - The abstract should state briefly the aim of the research, method used, main results, and major conclusions. Abstract should be written in one paragraph with maximum of 200 words in English. Abstract should be accurate, brief, clear, specific, and avoided from non-standard or uncommon abbreviations.
- Keywords – Abstract should be accompanied with 3-5 keywords, alphabetically ordered, separated using semicolons, and prepared using the same language as abstract. Keywords are the labels of the manuscript and critical for indexing purpose.
- Introduction – Contains the description of the situation analysis or objective conditions of the community service subject (assisted community), issues and focus of service, reasons for choosing community service subjects, and expected social changes or community service goals supported by qualitative and quantitative data, and supported by relevant literature reviews.
- Methods – Contains the description of the joint community action planning process (community organizing). Explain the subject, place and location of community service, involvement of assisted subjects in the process of community planning and organizing, and research methods or strategies used in achieving the expected goals and stages of community service activities. The planning process and strategy/method are explained through flow charts or diagrams
- Results and Discussion - This section contains the description of the community service process results, namely the explanation of the dynamics of assistance process (a variety of carried out activities, forms of technical or program action to solve community problems). It also explains the emergence of expected social changes, for example the emergence of new institutions, changes in behavior, the emergence of local leaders (local leaders), the creation of new awareness towards social transformation, and so on. In discussion section contains the discussion resulted from the description of community service and theoretical discussion that is relevant to the findings of community service. This section also discusses the theoretical findings of the service process from the beginning until the social changes occur. The discussion is supported by references and theoretical perspectives provided by relevant literature reviews
- Conclusion - This section contains the description of result conclusion toward community service in the form of theoretical reflections and recommendations
- Acknowledgement - Advisors, financial supporters, or other supporters i.e. proofreaders, typists, and suppliers who have assisted authors in the research can be listed in this section.
- Conflict of Interest - If there are conflict of interest, it should be state clearly. Financial and personal relationships should be easily identifiable, leading to bias in work. The sources of funding for the work should be described explicitly with explanations of the roles of those sources, and the authors should state that the sources of support do not participate in specific roles. The authors should state that the authors have access to all the studies and that the sponsors have not interacted with the data or the work. Conversely, if the authors do not have a conflict of interest, they may find them expressly stately
- References - All publications cited in the text should be included as a list of references.
FIGURES AND TABLES |
All illustrations including figures, charts and graphs should be clear with minimum resolution of 300 dpi. The caption must be placed below and numbered (1, 2, 3 etc.). Use the bold font of the figure caption (e.g. Figure 1. Structures of isoflavones found in ethanolic extract).
All the tables should be prepared using the horizontal border style only (without vertical border). The caption must be placed above and numbered (1, 2, 3 etc.). Use the bold font of the table caption (e.g. Table 1. Characteristics of Health Facilities at Some Hospitals in Yogyakarta). If necessary, footnote should be placed below the table, with smaller font size of the table font (Cambria font with size of 9).
Each figures should be supplied on separate pages with number according to appearance on the text.
