The editor has the right to edit the abstract for reasons of clarity.

Keywords Consist of 4−5 phrases, the first keyword being the most important (do not use the word in the title).

Correspondence author Data e-mail, phone, and fax.

Introduction Contains theory, research results, and the latest news or the background of the importance of the research conducted, the formulation of the problem, and research purposes. Write down the background of the research and mention the previous studies that had been done. State one question(s) that needs to be answered through your work. Give a description (local and scientific name) of the studied organism.

Methods Describe in brief and concise terms the research methods used, including the specificity of materials and equipment, sampling (qualifications and chopping), measurement, research design, stages of the workings, parameters, and data analysis.

Results Presenting the results obtained in brief can be supported by the illustrations in the form of tables, figures, or qualitative descriptions. 

Discussion The discussion is made with emphasis on the cause-effect relationship, the linkage between theory and the results of previous similar studies. The author is expected to dare to assess the advantages and disadvantages of results obtained in a way to compare the results of research with the hypothesis, quality standards, and/or the results of previous research or similar research through the inclusion and use of primary reference in the discussion. The impact of the research conducted should be outlined at the end of the discussion.

Conclusion The conclusion should address the problem or research purposes directly, rather than simply summarizing the research results. The conclusion is brief, clear, qualitative, and general and is written in 1 paragraph.

Recommendation State the possible advice according to the conclusion.

Acknowledgment State the grant source (institution, year of the contract) and the person to whom the grant was given. Name the person(s) that help your work and write in a paragraph of 50 words maximum.
