  3. The manuscript for JPFA is highly recommended to be sent online by registering in the JPFA's website (http://journal.unesa.ac.id/index.php/jpfa). If you have a problem with the online submission, the Article can be sent to the JPFAs email ([email protected]).
  4. The manuscript must be written by at least 2 authors, preferably from different institution and country.
  5. The type of the manuscript must be either the result of research (research article) or the result of review (review article).
  6. The submitted manuscript has not been published or is not being considered for publication in another publisher. Author(s) must include Statement of Manuscript Authenticity in the Article submission process.
  7. The manuscript should be written in English with the length of 6 to 15 pages.

  9. The author's name (without title) must be accompanied by the fullname, full address of the affiliation (specific location, department, institution name, street, city, and country), and the email of each author.
  10. Abstract is in the form of a paragraph, consisting of 300 words (maximum), and written in English and Bahasa Indonesia. Abstract uses Times New Roman, size 11, Italic. The abstract is a concise (short and clear) summary of your work. It should clearly state the background problem, the research objectives, the brief method, the main results/findings, and the conclusions, and should not include citations, tables, figures, and formulas. More information can be found in Template.

  12. The manuscript (Introduction, Research Method, Results and Discussion, and Conclusion) uses Times New Roman size 12, line spacing 1 line, A4 paper size (210 x 297 mm) with the margin is 2.25 cm on each side except the left side (2.5 cm). More details can be found in the Template.
  13. The article sent to JPFA comes from original research article (the article originality or state of the art should be mentioned in the introduction part) or review article about physics and its application (see the scopes in JPFA).
  14. The research article should contain title, authors name(s), affiliation/institution, and postal address, abstract, keywords, PACS, introduction, method, results and discussion, conclusion and suggestion, acknowledgment, and references.
  15. The review article contains title, authors name(s), affiliation/institution, and postcard address, abstract, keywords, PACS, introduction, discussion, conclusion, acknowledgment, and references.
  16. Introduction explains state of the art of the research, gap analysis, and research objectives/questions.
  17. Method is written in full and detail so that it can be repeated by others (reproducible).
  18. Results should summarize or highlight the findings rather than providing the detailed research results. Discussion must answers the problems, interprets the research results and the findings into the already known knowledge, confirms and/or contrasts with the research of other researchers, constructs the new theory, and/or modifies the previous theory. Discussion must also contain the implications of both theoretical and implementation results.
  19. Conclusion must be able to answer the research objectives/questions and should not repeat the abstract or simply rewrite the experimental results.
  20. The paragraph is written in justify. Inter-paragraph is given 5 character for left indentation.
  21. The title of the figure uses Times New Roman size 10, center alignment, 1 line spacing, and placed at the bottom of the picture. The image file(s) is in .jpg, .bmp, or .png format and must be attached in separate file(s) with the Article.
  22. When quoting pictures, charts, or photographs from other publications, the author shall specify the source and obtain the permission from its Author. Copyright Permission Request Form is attached in the JPFAs Author Pack.
  23. Tables are typed in 1 line spacing, decimal places are used as position references, and zeros must be stated (e.g., 0.333 and not .33). Columns and rows in the table should be titled. The title of the table is capitalized for the first letter of each word. The table title is placed at the top of the table. The font size is 10 pt or adjustable. Examples of the table format can be seen in the Template.
  24. Diagram, schematic, chart, or flowchart use Times New Roman, 1 line spacing. Font size is 10 pt or adjustable.
  25. Equation(s) is numbered with Arabic numerals on the right in parentheses. The equation should use the International System (SI) and its standard abbreviations. Decimal sign uses a period for an article in English (example: 0.5). Abbreviations should be avoided unless they have been defined previously or a commonly used abbreviation. Footnotes are not allowed.
  26. Any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that may affect the outcome or interpretation of the research should be written down in the manuscript. All sources of financial or non-financial support of research should also be written in the Acknowledgments section.
  27. A reference list is placed at the end of the manuscript, the references are numbered with Arabic numerals and referred in the manuscript by writing the numbers in square brackets, for example: "[1]". The numbering of the references is based on its sequence in the manuscript. An example of writing the references can be seen in the Template.
  28. The article should use at least 80% of the newest references (not more than 10 years) and consists of (at least) 80% article from a scientific journal.
  29. The author(s) may suggest potential peer reviewer for his/her manuscript and also may propose unwanted individual/reviewer to review his/her manuscript, such as due to conflicts of interests. Please fill Self Evaluation Form to accelerate the peer review process. More info can be seen in the Peer-review Policy.
  30. All articles submitted to JPFA will be read and reviewed blindly (double blind peer review) by (minimum) 2 Peer-reviewers who are experts in their field. The acceptance of a manuscript depends on the novelty of research, significance of the article, truth of the content, the degree of originality, the clarity of description, and the conformity with the objective of the journal.
  31. The editorial board authorized to accept, return the manuscript for revision, and/or reject the submitted manuscript.
  32. The template can be downloaded from http://journal.unesa.ac.id/index.php/jpfa. For further information, please contact JPFA Editorial Board via email [email protected].

CITATION STYLE

The article should use at least 25 references with (at least) 80% of the newest references (not more than 10 years) and consist of (at least) 80% articles from a scientific journal (national accredited journal, at least Sinta 3, and/or international indexed journal, i.e. Scopus, WoS, etc.). The references use the numerical system, font size 11, and sorted by a sequence of use in the article. The link or DOI of the cited articles must be given completely (see example numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14, 15, 16, and 17). In citing for the article body, the citation is done using square brackets containing the sequence number of the literature, for example [1], [2], [3], etc.

References writing system adopts Vancouver format (complete guide is provided in JPFA Author Pack). Reference writing is strongly recommended using references manager software (Mendeley, End Note, or Zotero) with citation style: Elsevier Vancouver. The JPFA's citation style in Mendeley can be downloaded in https://csl.mendeley.com/styles/12229861/JPFA-Citation-Style. More information about the installation of JPFA Citation Style in Mendeley can be seen in the JPFA Author Pack. The JPFA Citation Style in other reference management software will be coming soon.
