An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so the text should be comprehensible when read alone. For this reason, references should be avoided. The use of numbers in the abstract identifying compounds, formulas, tables or references and non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided.  

Keywords

Keywords can describe the substance of the study. Each submission must be accompanied by a minimum of three to six keywords that reflect the scientific content of your manuscript for subject indexing at the end of the abstract. The keywords should be listed in full without abbreviations. Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible.

During the submission process, authors are required to include an ethical clearance for studies involving living organisms. This ethical clearance ensures that the research proposal has undergone an ethical review and complies with the necessary standards. Heading has the following characteristics: Boldface, Uppercase. Leave 1.0 spacing before beginning a new head. Divide your Full Paper into clearly defined sections. Each heading should appear on its own separate line. 

Result and Discussion

Tables and figures should be designed to maximize the presentation and comprehension of the experimental data. Attention should be paid to the matter of significant figures. The same data should not be presented in more than one figure or in both a figure and a table.

The Results and Discussion sections should be combined. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature. The purpose of the discussion is to interpret significance of the results and to relate them to existing knowledge in the field in as clear and brief a fashion as possible. Information given elsewhere in the manuscript should not be repeated in the discussion. Extensive reviews of the literature should be avoided.

All tables and figures must have a caption and/or legend and be numbered (e.g., Tabel 1 (Table 1), Gambar 2 (Figure 2), unless there is only one table or figure, in which case it should be labelled “Table” or “Figure” with no numbering. The font used in the figures should be Arial Nova, 10pt, Bold.

All tables and figures must be numbered consecutively as they are referred to in the text. Please refer to tables and figures with capitalisation and abbreviations (e.g., “As shown in Figure 2…”, and not “Fig. 2” or “figure 2”).
