    Main Text

    Manuscript content in general should be organized in the following order: Title; Authors Name; Authors Affiliation; Abstract; Keywords; Introduction; Methods; Results; Discussion; Conclusions; Recommendation; Acknowledgments; and References (Recommendation and Acknowledgement are optional in the text).

     

    Introduction

    Authors should provide an adequate background, and very short literature survey in order to record the existing solutions/method, to show which is the best of previous researches, to show the main limitation of the previous researches, to show what do you hope to achieve (to solve the limitation), and to show the scientific merit or novelties of the paper. Avoid a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Authors should state the objectives of the work at the end of introduction section. The Introduction section should consist of:

    1. The general background of research (tips: keep a maximum of one paragraph);
    2. State of the art or a brief study of other similar (previously) research literature to justify novelty research in this article (tips: one to two paragraphs);
    3. The reference libraries in the previous state of the art research section must be current, relevant, and original (primary literature) of the literature review not too extensive;
    4. Gap analysis or novelty gap based on state of the art (the gap statement should contain two elements, that is, from the important aspect of the research and what the uniqueness or novelty of the research is compared to previous research);
    5. Hypotheses (if any) are not always expressed and need not be in the form of a sentence.

    Method

    Method include the design, population, sample reseach, data sources, techniques/ instruments of data collection and data analysis procedures. The research method can also contain an explanation of the materials and tools used, time, place, technique, and experimental design. Methods should make readers be able to reproduce the experiment. Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described. Do not repeat the details of established methods. Authors have to put the number of ethical approval from the Ethical Research Committee provided for all type of study both using primary and secondary data.

    Results

    Results are research findings and should be clear and concise without opinions. Researchers don’t need to provide explanations on the methods at the beginning of the results. The entire results of the analysis and experiments were reported in the manuscript including the results of the analysis of Sensistifitas and secondary analysis. Reported results are not limited to significant statistic-only results or results selected to support research hypotheses. It is worth mentioning the number of observations in each analysis, as well as information on missing data, how to handle and analysis.

    Table and Figures are put in the result. It should be limited up to six tables or pictures with a short title. Table/Figure should be typed in single space and be numbered consecutively according to the appearance in the text.

     

    Discussion 

    The discussion should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature. In discussion, it is the most important section of your article. Here you get the chance to sell your data. Make the discussion corresponding to the results, but do not reiterate the results. Often should begin with a brief summary of the main scientific findings (not experimental results). Discussion is NOT just explaining/describing the results of research or presenting numbers in tables or graphs only. Researchers are expected to provide reviews and other information needed to put the research findings into the context of the population being observed. They must also use the complete and balanced sources of the library including studies inconsistent with hypotheses, results and conclusions from current studies. Researchers convey honestly related to the weakness of the research. No need to re-mention the methods or results at the beginning of the discussion.

    The following components should be covered in discussion: How do your results relate to the original question or objectives outlined in the Introduction section (what)? Do you provide interpretation scientifically for each of your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results consistent with what other investigators have reported (what else)? Or are there any differences?

    Conclusions

    Conclusions should answer the objectives of research. Tells how your work advances the field from the present state of knowledge. Without clear Conclusions, reviewers and readers will find it difficult to judge the work, and whether or not it merits publication in the journal. Do not repeat the Abstract, or just list experimental results. Provide a clear scientific justification for your work, and indicate possible applications and extensions. You should also suggest future experiments and/or point out those that are underway.

    Acknowledments

    Recognize those who helped in the research, especially funding supporter of your research. Include individuals who have assisted you in your study: Advisors, Financial supporters, or may other supporter i.e. Proofreaders, Typists, and Suppliers who may have given materials.

    References should be prepared using Vancouver styles. Please use Reference Manager Applications like EndNote, Mendeley, Zotero, etc. Cite only scientific publication that you read and current journal references. Write the six of author's last name and first name initials, remain authors be followed by "et al (et al)". Reference number must be numbered consecutively. The first letter of reference titles should be written with a capital letter, the rest lowercase, except the name of the person, place, and time. The title should not be underlined and in bold letters. Recommendations for references are:

    • Include ALL authors. et al., for multiple authors is not acceptable.
    • When referencing in the body of text use superscript after full stop (.) (i.e:.10).  If reference lists name of source, the numbered reference is located after the name (i.g: Abood 2, Latief, et al1)

    When preparing your reference list, the following should be avoided:

    • References not cited in the text.
    • Excessively referencing your own work.
    • Insufficiently referencing the work of others.

    It is also preferable when Authors give DOI number of each reference list, but it is optional for Authors. References list must be written consistently for the journal titles are written in long format (Kesmas: National Public Health Journal).
