Author Guidelines

AIM AND SCOPE:
The journal publishes state of the art results of primary research findings and synthesized articles containing significant contribution to science and its theoretical application in areas related to the scope of Indonesian Forestry Research. Overseas works relevant to Indonesia conditions may be accepted for consideration.

LANGUAGE:

All articles should be written in clear and concise English.

FORMAT MANUSCRIPT:

To prepare your manuscript, please download a template from this link: IJFR Template. The entire manuscript should not exceed 20 pages. An electronic file of the manuscript should be submitted to the Indonesian Journal of Forestry Research Secretariat by following the publishing rules of  IJFR through https://ejournal.aptklhi.org/index.php/ijfr.

Preliminary submission should be completed by complementary document IJFR Form 01_paper submission-ethical statement. Please fill out the form and send it back to IJFR Secretariat by email.

The submission must include the proposed potential reviewers (including the names, institutional affiliations, and valid email addresses) of up to three-four suggested reviewers who have relevant expertise and must not have any conflict of interest with the authors.

TITLE:

A title should be brief and informative. Title must not exceed two lines and should reflect the content of the manuscript.

AUTHORS:

Authors' names should appear immediately below the title, followed by Authors' affiliation and address. For more than one authors, affiliation detail and addresses should be mentioned in the right order. Email address of every author should be placed in the footnote.

ABSTRACT:

Written in Bahasa Indonesia and English. Abstract should be no longer than 250 words, giving a brief summary of the content includes brief introduction, the reason for conducting the study, objectives, methods used, result and discussion and conclusion. Do not include tables, elaborate equations or references in the abstract.

KEYWORDS:

Four to six keywords should be provided for indexing and abstracting. The word or term to be written under abstract; overviewing the issues,  discussed, separately written from general to specific nature.

INTRODUCTION:

State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background of the research objectives, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.

THEORY/CALCULATION (if any):

A theory or detailed calculation should be extended, not repeated, in the introduction. The theory or calculation mentioned should lay the foundation of the work.

MATERIAL AND METHOD:

Provide sufficient detail of the research work to allow method to be reproduced. Describe the time and location of the study, materials and tools used, as well as research method. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference. Specific location should include the geographical information system. Only relevant modification to the method should be described clearly.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION:

Results should be presented clearly and concisely. Discussion should explore the significance of the results work to the current condition or other research result, but not repeating the result. In case of large amount of result, result and discussion may be separated into sub chapter of result and sub chapter of discussion. Current reference (five years old reference) is an advantage to support the research finding than older references.

CONCLUSION:

A conclusion section is required. It contains the main points of the article. It should not replicate the abstract, but might elaborate the significant results, possible applications and extensions of the work.

TABLE:

Table should be numbered. Please use comma (,) and point (.) in all figures appropriately according to the English writing rule. Most charts graphs and tables are formated in one column wide (3 1/2 inches or 21 picas) or two-column wide (7 1/16 inches, 43 picas wide). Avoid sizing figures less than one column wide, as extreme enlargements may distort your images and result in poor reproduction. Therefore, it is better if  the image is slightly larger, as a minor reduction in size should not have an adverse effect in the quality of  the image.

DRAWING:

Graphs and other drawing illustrations must be drawn in high contrast. Each drawing must be numbered as Figure with, titled given clear remarks. Graphic images should be formatted and saved using a suitable graphics processing program allowing creating the images as JPEG/TIFF. Image quality is important to reproduce the graphics. Poor quality graphics could not be improved.

PHOTOGRAPH:

Photograph with good contrast either in coloured or black and white and related to the text, must be titled and given clear remarks in numbered Figure. All photographs should be mentioned in the text and accompany to the manuscript in separate Microsoft word file. Photographs and grayscale figures should be prepared in 300 dpi resolution and saved with no compression, 8 bits per pixel (grayscale). Color graphics should be in the following formats: TIFF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel and PDF. The resolution of  a RGB color TIFF file should be 400 dpi. Please supply a high quality hard copy or PDF proof  of  each image. If  we cannot achieve a satisfactory color match using the electronic version of  your files,  we will have your hard copy scanned.
