AUTHOR GUIDELINES
Manuscripts must be written in Indonesian or English, must not have been previously published or currently under consideration for publication in any other journal or medium, and must not contain any elements of plagiarism. Authors are required to register and log in as authors. Guidelines for registering and submitting manuscripts/articles are provided below. Manuscripts will be published in the Agriovet Journal after undergoing a peer-review process. Manuscripts must consist of 2,500 to 5,000 words, excluding the reference list. Manuscripts must be formatted in accordance with the author guidelines and the following template. The writing template can be downloaded from the journal’s homepage.
MANUSCRIPT FORMAT
1. Title
When crafting an article title, it must meet the following criteria: (1) be informative and comprehensive, (2) reflect the article’s content, (3) be attention-grabbing, (4) include the variables under study or keywords that describe the issue being discussed, and (5) be concise and no longer than 13 words.
2. Author's name and description
The author’s name is listed without academic titles or positions. The author’s name is accompanied by information regarding the author’s institution, the institution’s address, and an email address for correspondence. If the article is written by a team, the lead author is listed first.
3. Abstract (Abstract)
The abstract must be written in two languages—Indonesian and English—and typed as a single, single-spaced paragraph of 100–120 words, summarizing the main points of the research, such as the objectives, methods, and results. The abstract must describe how the research contributes to the advancement of knowledge in the fields of agriculture, animal husbandry, food security, agricultural technology and industry, and other relevant scientific disciplines. Keywords are listed below the abstract in bold and italics and represent the substance of the research as indicated in the title. The formatting of the abstract, keywords, and the main body of the article must fully comply with this template.
4. Keywords
Keywords are specific words or terms in a scientific field discussed in the article. Keywords describe the scope of the research topic as well as technical terms related to the reported study. Keywords may be taken from the title of the study or from the body of the article (which reflects the scope of the research topic), consist of a maximum of 5 words, and are separated by semicolons (;). Keywords are used for indexing, searching, grouping, and documentation.
5. Introduction
The Introduction section includes, among other things, (1) the research problem, which covers a description of the problem or the rationale for conducting the research (background), as well as a logical statement leading to the hypothesis or main theme; (2) the approach to addressing or solving the problem; (3) the research objectives; (4) a summary of the theoretical review relevant to the research problem and supporting the study; (5) related studies; (6) research gaps; (7) expected results; and (8) the contributions or benefits of the research. It is recommended to use up-to-date and relevant references (from the last ten years) when writing the theoretical review, unless the references are from foundational texts. The entire introduction section is presented as a single, cohesive paragraph, with a length of approximately 20% of the main body of the article.
6. Method
This Methods section should clearly explain the research methods used, including the procedures for their implementation. Research tools, materials, media, or instruments must be described in detail. If necessary and relevant, an appendix may include a sample of the instrument or excerpts from the materials used to provide examples for readers.
If statistical formulas are used as part of the research methods, commonly used formulas should not be included. For example, specific provisions established by the researcher for collecting and analyzing research data can be explained in this methods section. Authors are advised to cite the sources for the methods used. Methods section, which contains a brief description of the research methods used (approximately 10% of the main body of the article)
7. Results and Discussion
Research Results, or typically simply “Results,” constitute the core of a research study. This section presents the results of data analysis along with their interpretation. Research results do not include hypothesis testing or the use of statistics. The use of tables and graphs can aid in the presentation of research results. Graphs and tables should be discussed within the body of the article, rather than in a detailed, item-by-item discussion. If the presentation is relatively lengthy, the research results can be divided into several subsections. This discussion section contains an analysis or interpretation of the research results as well as comparisons with existing theories and similar research findings. The discussion section provides answers to the research questions and explains how the findings were obtained, interprets the findings, relates the research findings to established bodies of knowledge, and generates new theories or modifications to existing theories. The discussion section becomes even more important if the research findings differ from theories recognized as valid. This section should comprise approximately 65% of the article’s total content, and the discussion of the research results must refer to previous research findings.
8. Closing or Conclusion
The closing or conclusion presents a summary and confirmation of the author regarding the research findings in the form of answers to research questions or the essence of the research results and discussion. The conclusion is presented in paragraph form rather than in numerical form.
9. Reference List
Reference lists, often called bibliographies, are written using general guidelines for article writers. Several guidelines must be adhered to in making a reference list: (1) only those that are referred to in the article should be included in the reference list, and (2) everything that is referred to in the article must be included in the reference list. It is recommended that the reference list be sourced from relevant and up-to-date journal articles (minimum 10). To understand more about research articles, you can see several examples of accredited journals (see attachment). Citations use APA 6th edition style. Authors are advised to use the Mendeley or Zotero applications.
