Author Guidelines

BIOEDUKASI is a multidisciplinary journal, publishing original research across the whole spectrum of biology and biology learning. All forms of research within these fields are welcome, provided they are novel, don't focus on method optimization or confirmation or repetitions of previous research but with a different organism, and can make meaningful scientific and social contributions.

These submission guidelines will help you prepare your submission so as to greatly reduce its processing time. Although there are no strict formatting requirements for you initial submission, we do require that it conforms to the document structure laid out below, so reviewers are able to assess the paper based on its scientific merits.

Online submission procedure

By submitting to BIOEDUKASI, authors attest that:

1. The submission is an original work, free from any form of plagiarism (text, data, and figures).
2. The submission has not been previously published, nor is it under consideration by another journal.
3. The submission has been approved by all co-authors and relevant authorities (e.g. an institution or sponsor).
4. The manuscript has been (to the best of the authors abilities) written in good English and is free of grammatical errors. It has been checked with a proofreading tool (e.g. Grammarly) and, if possible, proofed by a language editor.

Submissions to BIOEDUKASI should be through its online submission system. There are no strict formatting requirements for the initial submission, as long as the article structure conforms with our guidelines (see the manuscript structure section below). Manuscripts that advance to the revision stage will then be required to be formatted appropriately (see the formatting section). This enables authors to focus on the scientific content of their manuscript, along with speeding up the article's processing time.

Author registration. Authors without an BIOEDUKASI account are required to create an account before beginning their submission. Make sure that the "Author" role is selected in the Role dropdown menu, otherwise you will not be able to proceed with the submission.

Author(s) data. Authors submitting manuscripts are required to complete their author information when submitting. Please ensure your affiliation address is complete and spelled exactly as it appears on the manuscript. 

Manuscript metadata. Please complete at least the following information related to the manuscript:

Title

Fill in the manuscript title field in Capitalize Each Words.

Abstract

Paste the abstract into the abstract field; make sure that the formatting is consistent with the manuscript.

Keywords

Provide a maximum of five words/phrases, separated by semicolons. Sort them alphabetically.

References

Cover letter. In addition to the manuscript and its supplemental files, include a succinct cover letter stating the significance of the study and novelty of the results, as well as how it will appeal to BIOEDUKASI's readership. Authors may optionally suggest two potential reviewers for their manuscript, with whom no conflicts of interest exist. Please download the cover letter to complete your information: download here

Manuscript structure

Title. Use a concise and informative title in sentence case, with a maximum of 16 words.

Abstract. Should consist of a single paragraph of no more than 200 words. Provide the background and objective of the paper, its principal results, and its conclusions. Avoid using abbreviations and citations.

Keywords. Include a maximum of five keywords or phrases, arranged alphabetically and separated using semicolons (;). Use specific, relevant terms that do not appear in the title, so that the article is easier to find in search engines. Do not use terms that are too general or too long.

Introduction. This section should briefly explain the background of the study, provide a short review of the pertinent literature, state the originality of the research, and state the research objectives. 

Materials and methods. Combine the materials and methods used into one narrative passage. Enough information should be provided to enable repetition of the research. For commercial sources of the materials, the name of the company, and the town and country in which they are located should be indicated. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference, with only the relevant modifications described here.

Results. Describe the outcome of the study. Data should be presented as concisely as possible, and in the form of tables or figures if appropriate, although very large tables should be avoided. If needed, this section can be combined with the Discussion section into Results and discussion section. 

Discussion. This section should be an interpretation of the results of the work (not a repetition of them) in the context of previous research. Avoid excessive referencing of published literature. If needed, this section can be combined with the Results section into a Results and discussion section.

Conclusions. Summarize the key findings, their implications, and suggest directions for future research.

Acknowledgments. Acknowledge anyone who contributed to the research, as well as any funding or grants received in support of it. The names of funding organizations should be written in full, along with the grant numbers, if available. List any individuals who helped you during the study (e.g. assistance with study design or analysis, or guidance through a study area), or writing of the article (e.g. providing advice on the language, editing, or proofreading the article).

References. A minimum of 20 references should be used, using IEEE style for both in-text citations and the bibliography. Ensure references are listed in the citations, and vice versa.

Formatting details

Please note that BIOEDUKASI's editors have the right to change an article's formatting to adhere to the journal style or maintain consistency.

Headings. Use no more than three levels of headings (e.g. 2, 2.1, and 2.1.1, but no 2.1.1.1). 

Abbreviations. Abbreviations should be given at the first instance of the full term and used consistently thereafter.

Species scientific names. Binomial names with an authority should be given in full in the title and the first time the species is mentioned in the text. Thereafter, either the vernacular or common name of the species or the shortened scientific name (e.g. S. aureus, S. macrophylla) may be used, but not a mixture of both.

Italicization. Words of non-English origin should be italicized, except for terms that are widely used in the English language; e.g. kayu manis and zimt, but in vitro and vice versa. Do not italicize words for emphasis.

Numbers. Spell out numbers of less than two digits (i.e. eight, nine, 10, 11), except when using them in a technical context or to present data, such as in the materials and methods or results. Spell out percent in text, and do not use the symbol (%), except in tables or figures or when presenting materials (e.g. 70% ethanol).
