Ceklist Prepare for Publications

  • Does your manuscript meet the minimum standards? (written in Indonesian; submitted papers must be at least 4 pages and no more than 16 pages; the use of tools such as EndNote, Mendeley, or Zotero for referencing and format management, and selecting the Vancouver Superscript style).
  • Is your manuscript written in the format of the Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat Indonesia Maju (JPMIM)? At this stage, you should follow every detail of the format of the Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat Indonesia Maju (JPMIM) as closely as possible.
  • Is your title adequate and is your abstract written correctly? The paper title should be a maximum of 10 words, without acronyms or abbreviations. The abstract (Max 200 Words) should be informative and clear (no quotes in the abstract), providing a clear statement of the problem, approach, or proposed solution, and indicating the main findings and conclusions.
  • Authors are advised to present their articles in the following structure: Introduction - Proposed Methods/Algorithms/Specifically Designed Procedures (optional) - Results - Discussion - Conclusion - References.
  • Authors should place their papers in the appropriate context by citing relevant papers. At least 15 references (recent journal articles) should be used in this section.
  • Methods Section: The presentation of experimental methods should be clear and complete in every detail to facilitate reproduction by other scientists.
  • Results and Discussion Section: The presentation of results should be simple and straightforward. This section reports the most important findings, including appropriate statistical analysis results and comparisons with other research findings. Results presented in figures do not need to be repeated in tables. Here, the authors should explain in words what they found in the study. It should be clearly and logically structured. This section should be supported by appropriate references.
  • Conclusion Section: Summarize the main research findings in a paragraph. Are the claims in this section supported by the results, do they make sense? Has the author shown how the results relate to expectations and previous research? Does the article support or contradict previous theories? Does the conclusion explain how the research has advanced scientific knowledge?
  • Please ensure that the manuscript is up to date. It is expected that 10 to 20% of the references are directed towards recent papers.
  • Is the manuscript written clearly? Is the article engaging? Does the content flow smoothly from one section to another? Try to keep your manuscript at the appropriate level. The explanations should be easily understood by qualified professionals, yet at the same time, please avoid explaining well-known facts (use proper references). Manuscripts often receive negative reviews because reviewers cannot understand them, and this is the fault of the authors (not the reviewers). It should be noted that if the reviewer experiences difficulties, then other readers will face the same problems and there is no reason to publish the manuscript.
  • Do you have enough references? We usually expect a minimum of 10 to 25 references, especially for journal papers, depending on the length of the paper. Citations from textbooks should be used very rarely, and citations to web pages should be avoided. All cited papers must be referenced in the text of the manuscript.
