1. The title page contains:
- The title is written in English.
- The author's name (written without any title), the author's address, and the short title (running title).
- The headline should be no more than 14 words, and the short title should not exceed 6
- The author's address should include majors/departments or laboratories, accompanied by the institution/university name and postal code. If there are multiple authors, each with a different institutional address, then each name should be indexed with an Arabic numeral. At the bottom of the heading page, the contact information for the corresponding author (responsible for correspondence) should include their name, address, phone number, mobile phone (HP), fax, and email.
2. The abstract is written in both English and Bahasa Indonesia, with a maximum length of 250 words. It serves as the essence of the entire writing, including background, purpose, methods, results, and conclusions. Additionally, the abstract should come with 3 - 5 keywords, alphabetically sorted.
3. The introduction contains background information, supporting literature, problem formulation, research objectives, as well as research benefits.
4. The materials and methods section includes explanations of the materials and tools utilized, details of time, location, engineering aspects, and the research draft. It must be described as comprehensively as possible to enable other researchers to perform retests. References are provided for lesser-known methods. Sources or references for materials or products used should be mentioned, including the name of the company and country, possibly accompanied by the catalog number. Commercial names should be accompanied by their generic names. The use of animals in research should adhere to animal welfare guidelines (Helsinki Declaration at http://www.wma.net).
5. The results are expressed clearly. Tables, illustrations (pictures, graphs, and diagrams), or photos can be provided as needed. Results presented in tables or illustrations do not need to be outlined in the text. Tables are numbered and referenced sequentially in the text, with titles written briefly and clearly. Captions are placed as footnotes and not in the title. Any abbreviations or shorthand used are described in the footnotes. Vertical lines in tables should be minimized to clarify the vision. Decimal numbers are formatted in English style. Illustrations such as images, graphs, or diagrams are numbered and referenced sequentially in the text.

6. The discussion is written separately from the results. It does not repeat the narrative of the results but offers interpretation and analysis of the data obtained. This may involve referring to, comparing, strengthening, or criticizing the results of previous research. The discussion describes the research findings, how they can solve existing problems, differences and similarities with previous studies, and possible development.
7. The conclusion is presented briefly in its paragraph at the end of the discussion and is not given a separate subtitle.
8. Acknowledgment is addressed to individuals or institutions that made significant contributions to the research, such as lenders, providers of data sources, research materials, and facilities used for the research, but not a team of writers. At the end, the author should include a statement confirming the absence of conflicts of interest: 'The author declares that there is no conflict of interest with any party involved in this research.'
