Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

• The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
• Authors must take public responsibility for their paper / article content. It is unethical and strictly prohibited to submit an article to two or more journals simultaneously, in accordance with the authorship ethics of the Indonesian Government (ANJANI). Those found violating this point will be added to the journal blacklist and reported to the ANJANI. Furthermore, a financial penalty will be imposed on those who commit double submission or double publication.
• Authors are not permitted to withdraw the submission which has been entering the review stage. Otherwise, they will be charged a financial penalty for taking the action of in-review submission withdrawal.
• Authors found to have duplicated articles published in this journal will be blacklisted, reported to ANJANI, and subject to financial sanctions. Furthermore, the article already published in this journal (PDF and metadata) will be modified to indicate that it has been retracted, followed by the reason for the retraction.
• The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
• Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
• The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
• The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
