DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE MANUFACTURING SECTION

Title. The title consists of a maximum of 15 words, not including conjunctions. Titles are written in Indonesian and English.

Author data. All authors are listed with full names WITHOUT DEGREE (no abbreviations) and the author's full address (complete with postal code).

Example: Johan Santosa, Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, Bogor Agricultural Institute, IPB Darmaga Campus, Bogor 16680. For correspondence authors, telephone data, fax number and e-mail address are added.

Abstract. The submitted abstract is written in English, maximum 250 words without including abbreviations or acronyms. The abstract should start with the background of the research. Next, state the research problem. The results listed are the main findings that directly answer the research problem. Include one or two sentences to discuss the research results. The Editor reserves the right to edit the Abstract for reasons of clarity. The abstract is equipped with a maximum of 5 keywords, keywords are arranged alphabetically.

Introduction. Write the background of the research and mention other research that has been carried out. Provide a description (local and scientific name) of the organism/object studied.

Materials and Methods. The Methods section should be detailed enough to answer some or all of the following questions: (i) Was the research experimental or exploratory?; (ii) Are the methods described in sufficient detail so that the study can be replicated?; (iii) If the research uses previous researchers' methods, briefly explain those methods. If making method modifications, describe the modified part; (iv) Name and number of samples, if using samples belonging to another party, include the owner of the sample; (v) Research location and date of sampling, location and time of research; (vi) when using Human samples, must follow the code of ethics.

Results. Results and Discussion must be written separately. State the results obtained based on the method used. Do not present the same data in tables and graphs. Do not include literature in writing results. Quantitative data must include standard deviation notation of data processing results. All data given in the Results must be expressed in tables or graphs.

Discussion. Discuss data from research conducted by comparing data from other or previous research. Point out the similarities, differences and uniqueness of the research results. Explain the prospects of the research results for future research.

Conclusion. End the discussion with a conclusion in accordance with the stated objectives.

Acknowledgement. The thanks included here are to those who helped carry out research, collect data, (can be) related to research funding.

Bibliography. The bibliography lists the libraries used in the manuscript. The library in the form of journals amounts to a minimum of 80% of primary literature (in the form of journals). Websites, personal communications, should be included in the inner text and bracketed. Example: “...... the amino acid sequences of the genes obtained from this study were compared to obtain homology with BLAST (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast)”. If there is a personal communication as a reference, it is written with the initials of the name accompanied by the year of the statement, for example, (Takahashi 2007, personal communication).

This journal uses the name citation method followed by the year. All references cited in the manuscript must be included in the bibliography. Writing literature in manuscripts follows the pattern: Name, year of publication, for example: (Brower & deSalle 1998) or Brower and deSalle (1998). If there are more than two authors, it is written using "et al." with patterns (Monteiro & Pierce 2001; Morinaka et al. 2002; Rubinoff & Sperling 2002). If there are several references cited, then sort them starting from the oldest year. If several libraries have the same knowledge, then sort them alphabetically. If there are the same authors from the same year, then the order must be made by including the notations a, b, c, etc.
