Introduction

Journal of Energy, Mechanical, Material, and Manufacturing Engineering (JEMMME) is a scientific journal in the area of renewable energy, mechanical engineering, advanced material, and manufacturing engineering. We are committing to provide a platform for publishing advanced scientific research with original empirical experiments and research. The manuscripts may depict theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches.

This journal accepts the original articles with new and different findings. The article submitted to the journal must be written in good English and the authors who are not native English are encouraged to check the grammar and clarity of the writing.

Manuscript Guidelines

1.    Introduction  

The Introduction should provide clear background and statements of the purpose, the best of previous researches, and the main limitations of the previous researches. It is for showing the author’s further achievement and showing the scientific merit or novelties of the paper. Avoid a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results proposed approach and/or research design, and the new value of research, which is an innovation. It should be understandable to colleagues from a broad range of scientific disciplines.

2.    Methods           

Methods must be able to guide the further authors to conduct further 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.

3.    Result and Discussion

Results and discussion should be presented clearly. It summarizes the scientific findings rather than providing data in detail. Results or findings should show the obvious difference to the previous publications. The discussion presents the significance of the results. Avoid writing citations in this section. In discussion, the author is demanded to describe the data without repeating to present the data.

The following components should be covered in the discussion: How do your results relate to the original question or objectives outlined in the Introduction section (what/how)? 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?

4.    Conclusion

Conclusions should answer the research purpose. Provide a clear scientific justification for your work. You should also suggest future experiments and/or point out those that are underway. It would help the reviewer to determine whether or not this article has a contribution to the journal.

Writing Layout

1.    Manuscript processing

The main text format should not exceed 14 pages and is written in Microsoft Office Word (.doc/.docx) format by attaching figures and tables also equations (if available). The text should be written orderly in the single justified column on A4 paper by a margin for left, right, top, and the bottom is 3 cm. It is no need to embed the page number as it would be reordered at printing processes.

2.    Writing Format

The title of the article should be the fewest possible words that accurately describe the content of the paper.  Indexing and abstracting services depend on the accuracy of the title, extracting from it keywords useful in cross-referencing and computer searching. An improperly titled paper may never reach the audience for which it was intended, so be specific.

The organization and citation of the bibliography are made in Vancouver style in sign [1], [2], and so on. The terms in foreign languages are written italic.

2.1 Sub-title level 1

Sub-title should be presented only in three levels. The fourth would not be allowed. For sub-title level 1, it is written in Arial font, bold, 10 pt, and in single space. The number for the sub-title is written with two numbers and separated by a dot.

2.1.1 Sub-title level 2

Sub-title level 2 is written in small caps title case with 10 pt Arial font in single space. It is written in italic bold and numbered by three numbers separated by a dot.

a)    Sub-title level 3

Sub-title level 3 is written in small caps title case with 10 pt Arial font in single space. It is written in italic bold and numbered by a letter in the closed bracket.

b)    Sub-title level 3

In every sub-title, they are written in left alignment. 

3.    Writing Structure

The authors’ manuscripts should be completed with title, abstract, keywords, and the main text. Furthermore, the authors should present tables, figures, and equations in good order.

3.1  Title

The title of the manuscript should be brief and informative. Avoid writing abbreviations and equations (if it is possible). Academic title and rank are not allowed to be written behind the name of authors.

3.2  Abstract

Write abstract in brief explanation and not exceed 200 words. It should be presented the purpose of research, prominent finding, and deduction.

3.3  Keywords

Keywords consist of terms and multiple concepts in research. Avoid presenting abbreviations in keywords, it is better for the authors to present phrases. They would be used for indexing purposes. It is written before the main text with 3 to 5 words or phrases separated by a semi-colon.

3.4  Main Text

       The main text here is what had been mentioned in the previous parts, which consist of four chapters.

4.    Manuscript Completeness

Tables or graphics should be presented in the center. For tables, it should be light green colorized for the table head and readable tables. The caption should be written above the table and numbered orderly  (i.e. Table 1., Table 2.). It is written in 9 pt italic Arial font. Write the source under the table (if it is available) with the same font as the caption. But it is in regular font. 

4.2  Graphics or Figures

The caption of graphics and figures are presented in the center with 9 pt italic Arial font. The table caption is written below and the source (if there is) is written under the caption with 9 pt regular Arial font.  

4.3  Mathematical Equations

When the manuscript included a mathematical equation, it should be written in order by number and followed by information needed. The information of the equation should be written in a good paragraph.

4.4  References

The presentation of citation in the text and references list must be in Vancouver style and is organized by the referencing tools (e.g. Mendeley). The references for the manuscript are at least 75% coming from the recent ten (10) years published journal articles. The rest supporting manuscript references can include proceedings, textbooks/translated textbooks, patents, standards, and reports in the same years range. Those references included in the text are required to have the same scope as the research discussed. The citation and the references list must consistently correspond. For main consideration, please use at least fifteen (15) references with DOI (Digital Object Identifier) to confirm the manuscript novelty, purpose of research, and for avoiding rejection from the editorial decision.
