Author Guidelines

Author Guidelines

The manuscript texts are written in English (see Edubiotik Template). Manuscripts in English will be first reviewed by editorial boards. The main text of a manuscript must be submitted as a Word document (.doc) or Rich Text Format (.rtf) file.

The manuscript is well-typed in a single column on A4 paper (quarto), text margin on all sides is 2.5 cm, and using Times New Roman. The manuscript contains an original work and has potentially contributed to the highly scientific advancement.

The manuscript should contain the following sections in order:

Title (14 pt)

The title of an article should consist of the fewest possible words that accurately describe the content of the paper. The title should be succinct and informative, and no more than about 12 words in length. Do not use acronyms or abbreviations in your title, and do not mention the method you used, unless your paper reports on the development of a new method. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid writing long formulas with subscripts in the title. Omit all waste words such as "A study of ...", "Investigations of ...", "Implementation of ...”, "Observations on ...", "Effect of.....", “Analysis of …”, “Design of…”, etc.

The author's name (12 pt)

It is suggested that the article be written collaboratively by two or more authors without stating the academic or non-academic title of the authors. Add code numbers a,b,c etc. at the end of the author's name if the author is from a different department or university

Name of affiliation for each author (10 pt)

Institution and E-mails of the authors should be stated. Authors a,b,c etc. must write the Study Program, Faculty, Institution / University, City, and Country. The author must write an email to all of the authors.

Abstract (10 pt)

An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must stand alone.  A well-prepared abstract enables the reader to identify the basic content of a document quickly and accurately, to determine its relevance to their interests, and thus to decide whether to read the document in its entirety. The abstract should be informative and completely self-explanatory, provide a clear statement of the background, objectives, methods, results (not discussion), conclusions, and implications (optional). The Abstract should be 100 to 200 words in length. References should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Standard nomenclature should be used, and non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential, they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself. No literature should be cited.

Key words (10 pt)

The keyword list provides the opportunity to add 5 keywords, used by the indexing and abstracting services, in addition to those already present in the title (10 pt).

Introduction (11 pt)

The Introduction section should provide: (i) a clear background, (ii) a clear statement of the problem, (iii) the relevant literature on the subject, (iv) the proposed approach or solution, and (v) the new value of research which is innovation (within 3-6 paragraphs). It should be understandable to colleagues from a broad range of scientific disciplines. Organization and citation of the bibliography are made in American Psychological Association (APA) style in sign and so on. The terms in foreign languages are written italic (italic). The text should be divided into sections, each with a separate heading and numbered consecutively. The section or subsection headings should be typed on a separate line, e.g., 1. INTRODUCTION. A full article usually follows a standard structure: 1. INTRODUCTION, 2. THE COMPREHENSIVE THEORETICAL BASIS AND/OR THE PROPOSED METHOD/ALGORITHM (optional), 3. METHOD, 4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION, and 5. CONCLUSION. The structure is well-known as IMRaD style. 

Research Methods (11 pt)

Explaining the research chronologically, including the research design, research procedures (in the form of algorithms, Pseudocode, or other), how to test, and data acquisition. The description of the course of research should be supported by references, so the explanation can be accepted scientifically. All figures must be presented in English. Tables and figures must be cited in the manuscript. Figure 1 is presented in the center, and Table 1 is presented on the left, as shown below and cited in the manuscript. The student responses based on their region of origin have been illustrated in Figure 1. Tables and figures must be cited in the manuscript. Equations should be centered on the line and provided consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses, flushed to the right margin, as in (1). The use of Microsoft Equation Editor or MathType is preferred.

Results and Discussion (11 pt)

In this section, it is explained the results of research and at the same time, is given the comprehensive discussion. Results can be presented in figures, graphs, tables, and others that make the reader understand easily. Tables and figures must be cited in the manuscript. The Results and Discussion section should be clearly written and address the key elements of scientific merit: What/How, Why, and What else.

Conclusion (11 pt)

In this section, provide a statement that what is expected, as stated in the "INTRODUCTION" section can ultimately result in the "RESULTS AND DISCUSSION" section, so there is compatibility. Moreover, the prospects for the development of research results and the application of further studies can also be added to the next (based on the results and discussion).

Acknowledgement (if applicable) (11 pt)

This section should acknowledge individuals who provided personal assistance to the work but do not meet the criteria for authorship, detailing their contributions. It is imperative to obtain consent from all individuals listed in the acknowledgments.

Funding Information (mandatory) (11 pt)

This section should describe sources of funding agency that have supported the work. Authors should state how the research described in their article was funded, including grant numbers if applicable. Include the following (or similar) statement if there is no funding involved: Authors state no funding involved.

Author Contributions Statement (Mandatory) (11 pt)

This journal uses the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) to recognize individual author contributions, reduce authorship disputes, and facilitate collaboration. The recommended number of authors is at least two, with one of them designated as the corresponding author. The corresponding author will be responsible for all correspondence related to the paper and must ensure that the other authors are included in the communication regarding submission, revision, and publication processes. We encourage authors to include a statement in the paper that shares and accurately describes each author's contribution. To be eligible for authorship, each individual must have contributed to at least one of the following: conceptualization, methodology, formal analysis, or investigation, as well as at least one aspect of writing (either original draft preparation or writing reviews and editing).

Conflict of Interest Statement (Mandatory) (11 pt)

To ensure fair and objective decision-making, authors must declare any associations that pose a conflict of interest (financial, personal, or professional) in connection with manuscripts. Non-financial competing interests include a declaration of political, personal, religious, ideological, academic, and intellectual competing interests. The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper. If there are no conflicts of interest, please include the following author's statement: The authors state no conflict of interest.
