Academic ranks, positions and titles do not need to be included in writing names with a superscript code (1, 2, 3, ...) in the final of each name. Then, write down the institution of each name according to the code above followed by the e-mail address and telephone or fax agency that allows correspondence with other scientists to occur.
  2. Abstract

    Abstract is a complete summary and explains the entire contents of scientific articles. Abstracts are written as simple and concise as possible so that readers can capture the contents of the article without having to refer to the full article. Abstracts are written in two languages both Indonesian with “ABSTRAK” word and English “ABSTRACT”, a maximum of 250 words, typed in italics with a single space. The abstract contains a summary of the full subject matter of the entire text (Introduction, Research Methods, Results, and Conclusions) without having to provide detailed information from each chapter. Abstract does not include tables, illustrations, references and abbreviations. To save words, do not repeat the title in the abstract.

  4. Introduction

    The introduction is written in a straightforward, clear, simple, and easy to understand language in order to promote its research. Introduction is a general description of the problem discussed (research problem), what about the current condition or the description of the effects / impact of the problem to be discussed. And also presents a local description / proposed local problem such as the situation, the uniqueness of the problem, the intended group, or the consequences that occur when the problem continues.

    This section provides information that needs to be confirmed or what is still unknown, convincing the reader that this research is important to publish. In writing, it lists how this research will address the current gaps (research objectives, contributions to science).

    The introduction is composed of sentences made by the researcher according to the correct spelling and does not quote from a library of approximately 350 words. The library used must support the background stated. It is better not to quote the results of previous unpublished research. The name of the organism (Indonesia / region) that is not common must be followed by its scientific name at the first time mentioned.

  5. Method

    This section briefly describes settings (location, time and period of observation), research design, study population, sampling method, time period, inclusion / exclusion criteria, data collection methods including data access and organize, analysis data preference, ethical clearance (EC), sources of research funding, whether by the cost of educational institutions or other institutions in addition to personal funds.

  6. Result

    The purpose of this section is to explain in simple language, not commenting on or trying to interpret the findings. Results are made with efficiency using clear and concise language. The best way to express results is to use a combination of text, tables, and images. The table is used to inform a large number of research results, use only 3-4 tables, and make sure the tables used are easy to understand. The graphic / image must be perceptible, the description of the image is written below the image, while the description of the table is written above the table and must be limited in the body of the writing.

    Result contains (1) a description of the sample which includes the size of the demographic characteristics of the sample (eg age, sex, ethnicity etc.) and other initial characteristics, (2) the main results of the study, (3) the results of both initial and advanced analysis (such as univariate and multivariate)

  7. Reviews

    This section which contains the main results of the research must be briefly written with supporting references. The discussion also tells how much influence our research to the environment (whether it can represent the population), the comparison of differences and similarities in the results of research with previous research both local research and international research.

    Point out the limitations of research with polite language and do not exaggerate the limitations of interpretation of results, the potential to turn meaning into sampling / data collection, the strength of the data used, the limitations of data measurement.

    This stage also conveys the benefits or implications of the results of the research as input into the policy, and whether the results of this study can be applied to daily practice. Write suggestions for further research that might have an impact on policy changes / implementation in practice, include questions that still cannot be answered, and what should be done in future research.

  8. Conclusion

    Conclusions are written critically, accurately and generalized (inductively) made carefully. State the conclusions of the results and discussion briefly, concise, and without sequence number. In the conclusion there is no quote and statistical analysis.

  9. Acknowledgement

WRITING PROCEDURES
REFERENCE WITH VANCOUVER STYLE

References in texts made based on Vancouver's writing rules have certain rules, including:

      • Citation from a writer, example: Recent research1 indicates that the number of duplicate papers being published is increasing.

      • Cite from several texts / works at one time, for example: Several studies 6–9,13,15 have examined the effect of congestion charging in urban areas.

      • Cite more than a writer and want to include the name of the author, example: Simons et al.3 state that the principle of effective stress is imperfectly known and understood by many practicing engineers (p. 4).

      • Citation of a text or article without a clear author, for example: The Department of Health6 advocates a national strategy for creating a framework to drive improvements in dementia services atau A national strategy is creating a framework to drive improvements in dementia services6.

      • Citation of images, photos, tables, diagrams and so on, for example: ‘Geological map of the easternmost region of São Nicolau’ (9: p.532).

      • Direct quotation citation. Using single quotation marks and include pages. Example: Simons et.al.6 state that the principle of effective stress is ‘imperfectly known and understood by many practising engineers’ (p.4).

      • Secondary referencing, that is citation from a writer which the author also cited the text from other author. Example: According to Colluzzi and Pappagallo as cited by Holding et al.7 most patients given opiates do not become addicted to such drugs.

      • Citation from one of the chapters in a book with different authors. The author's name listed is the author of the chapter, not the name of the book editor.

      • Citation from the same author with different texts / works in the same year. Each work is given a different number in the order to use citations.

      • Citation by including the author's name, for example: As emphasized by Watkins2 carers of diabetes sufferers ‘require perseverance and an understanding of humanity’ (p.1).

 

Reference in the text is based on Vancouver writing rules with numbers in the order in which they appear. With the following conditions :

      1. Numbers are written in superscript without brackets after punctuation.
      2. If more than 3 consecutive numbers can be abbreviated, for example 2,3,4 is written into 2-4.
      3. The list of references / literature is arranged according to Vancouver's writing rules, numbered according to the order of appearance in the text, not alphabetically.
      4. Enter the names of all authors if there are no more than 6 people, if more than 6 authors, write the names of the first 6 authors followed by (…,et al.).
      5. The name of the journal is written with the abbreviated name of the journal according to the Medicus Index.
      6. Articles sent for publication but not yet published must be referred to by mentioning them as unpublished observations with permission from the source.
      7. Papers that have been received for publication but have not yet been published can be used as references with "in press" words. Example:
        Leshner Al. Molecular mechanism of cocaine addiction. N Engl J Med. In press 1996.
      8. Avoid referring to using personal communication except for information that is not possible to obtain from public sources.
