Manuscript Guidelines

1.    Introduction  

The Introduction should provide clear background and statements of the purpose, the best of previous researches and main limitation 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 it 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 or findings should shows the obvious difference to the previous publications. The discussion presents the significance of the results. Avoid to write 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 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

3.2  Abstract

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

3.3  Keywords

Keywords consist of terms and multiple concepts in research. Avoid presenting abbreviation 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 semi colon.

3.4  Main Text

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

Write the source under the table (if it is available) with the same font with the caption. But it is in regular font. For graphic, caption should be written under the graphic with 9 pt italic Arial font. Number format for graphic resemblance to the table number.
