GENERAL GUIDELINES

MANUSCRIPT CONTENT

  • This journal contains articles in the form of research results including development and engineering and the results of thoughts related to policies and problems in agriculture.
  • Manuscripts of research results sponsored by certain parties must contain a statement containing information on the funding sponsor and thanks to the sponsor or other parties, all the manuscript will be subjected to similarity/plagiarism testing with Turnitin.
  • The manuscript has never been published in other media.

 

WRITING PROCEDURE

Writing is carried out by paying attention to the rules for the use of punctuation and spelling contained in the Indonesian Spelling Guidelines published by the Language Agency, Kemdikbud Typed with one and a half (1) spaces on A4 paper with Times New Romans font size 12, totalling 4000-5000 words.

C. CONTENTS

Contents of Research Articles

This journal prioritises research articles that are oriented towards policy making or research that explores or analyses or investigates the impact of previously established policies. Research articles have the following structure and systematics as well as the percentage of the number of pages.

1. Introduction

This section contains the background and a brief review of related research, problem formulation,  research objectives, literature review that includes relevant theories and research results and the benefits of the research, as well as the results to be achieved. This section is about 20 per cent of the length of the article.

2. Research methods

Contains the research methods used, design/model, place and time, variables observed, collection techniques, and data analysis techniques. This section is about 15 per cent long

3. Results and discussion (50 per cent)

4. Conclusions and suggestions (15 per cent)

 
Contents of Articles on review or Research Results.

Articles resulting from research or review have a structure and systematics as well as a percentage of the number of pages that are somewhat different from articles on research results, which are as follows. Research and article review have many similarities. The difference is that artcle review only reaches the conceptual model, while research has reached the step of testing the model in the field or testing it in actual conditions.

Introduction.

This section contains the background, foreground and a brief review of related research or development results, problem formulation i.e. the need for development or engineering, objectives (or purposes) and benefits of development or engineering, as well as research  results to be obtained. This section is about 10 per cent of the length of the article. The literature review consists of a review of appropriate theories and a review of the results of developing similar models. This section ends with the development framework. This section is about 15 per cent in length.

Contents of a thought-eye catching provoking article

Thought-provoking articles have a different structure, systematisation and percentage of pages from research articles, as follows. The article contains:  (i) title, (ii) author's name, institution, and e-mail address, (iii) abstract and keywords, and (iv) content. The content of the article has the following structure and systematics as well as the percentage of the number of pages.

Introduction

The introduction includes background and foreground, problem formulation and writing objectives. The background provides an overview of the setting or conditions behind the existence or occurrence of the problem. The purpose of the writing needs to be related to problem-solving efforts. This section is about 10 per cent of the length of the entire manuscript.

Literature review and discussion as well as theory/concept development (70 per cent)

This section is a manifestation of the necessity of "material, "method", and "results" of a scientific work. The literature review provides a scientific foundation for the development of materials or thoughts or ideas in an effort to solve a problem. The method contains thinking patterns in developing ideas to solve problems. The results contain the findings of thoughts, or ideas. This section is about 70 per cent of the length of the entire manuscript.

Conclusions and suggestions (20 per cent)

Conclusions contain summarised thoughts and policy proposals developed from ideas, or thoughts. Suggestions or policy proposals contain proposed problem-solving concepts. This section is about 20 per cent of the length of the entire manuscript.
