2.5 Sources and Reference List Writing

Caution in writing sources and Reference Lists is a must so that writers can avoid plagiarism. For this reason, it is recommended that the authors strictly follow the terms of source writing and Reference List in this guide. Author of the article is fully responsible for the writing of the references, sources of references, and the Referral Lists. All sources listed in the Reference List must be referred to in the body of writing, and only the references referred to in the writing are included in the Reference List (References, not Bibliography). The source is written by following the procedures (style) issued by APA, namely by including the last name of the source author referenced, followed by the year number. Reference Lists are also written by following the alphabetical order starting from the letters A to Z. Examples of writing Reference Lists can be seen in the last part of this guide. Writing a list of references and citation methods are required to use reference software such as mendeley, endnotes, word references, and others.

2.6 Figure

Only figures that have direct relevance to the exposure may be included in the article. The figure is centered, where it is most relevant to the sentence that referred to it in the article. Each figure (photos, graphics, and diagrams) in the article must be accompanied by a description / title of the figure with sequential figure numbers, written below the figure in the middle position with a font size of 10 points bold. For example: "Figure 1. ASFR Trends in Africa". Figure must be directly relevant to the article, and always referred to in the article (referred to as "Figure 1", beginning with capital letters). The author is fully responsible for the quality of the figure listed. The journal can accept color images, but will not make any corrections to its quality. All figure should be compressed so that it has a maximum resolution of 220 dpi, and always delete the cropped part. If the figure was taken from another source, always list the source from which the figure was taken as part of the title of the image. Editors can adjust the size and resolution of the image if needed. All figure may not be taken from other sources, but must be original made by the author.

2.7 Table

Only tables that have direct relevance to the exposure may be included in the article. The table is placed in the middle, where it is most relevant to the sentences that refer to it in the article. Each table must have a title and sequential table number, written above each table in the middle position with a font of writing similar to the figure, such as "Table 1. Comparison of Population per District in 2010". Tables are referred to in the article as "Table 1" beginning with a capital letter. The size of the letters for the contents of the table adjusted to the needs, taking into account readability. If it is needed, the type of letters can be adapted to leaner letters such as Arial Narrow.

3. CONTENT FORMAT

Exposure in the article is written in accordance with the rules of writing a good scientific article. Basically, the article consists of parts as follow:

  1. Introduction

  2. Method

  3. Results and Discussion

  4. Conclusions

  5. References

Writing standards for written bodies also refer to writing good scientific articles. As far as possible the author's point of thinking is outlined in paragraph form, and not by enumerating using numbers. The use of bullets is not recommended at all. If bullet writing forms a complete sentence, then just write it as a sentence in the paragraph. If it is only a phrase, then write it as part of a complete sentence. If it is really needed, give the serial number in parentheses to mark, and separated by semicolons.

4. CONCLUSIONS

Write the contents of the conclusions using the same letters and paragraph styles as the other sections. To avoid article writing errors, it is recommended to directly use this document as a format (template) by removing the contents of these writing instructions and saving (save as) in accordance with the requested file name.
