Author Guidelines

All manuscripts must be submitted to IJIMCE : International Journal of Innovation in Mechanical Construction and Energy

to Editorial Office through Online Submission by assessing the following address: https://ijimce.ppj.unp.ac.id/index.php/ijimce/login,  where author must register as Author. If authors are experiencing problems on the online submission, they can contact Editorial Office at email: ijimce@ppj.unp.ac.id

The following documents must be submitted together with the manuscript (as supplementary files):

A Manuscript with camera ready format under following template (download template.doc) or free format submission. However, for free format submission, the minimum requirements of citation and references format must be fulfilled.

A cover letter, outlines the basic findings of the paper and their significance.

List of Potential Reviewers for your manuscript. Please send the detail by their email and affiliation address.

Please also provide ScopusID, Publon ID or ORCID of authors when you submit the manuscrpt via online submission system.

 

English editing

To facilitate proper peer-reviewing of your manuscript, it is essential that it is submitted in grammatically correct English. If you are not a native English speaker, we recommend that you have your manuscript professionally edited before submission or read by a native English-speaking colleague. Professional editing will enable reviewers and future readers to more easily read and assess the content of submitted manuscripts.

The submission with poor English quality will be directly rejected.

Reviewing manuscripts

Every submitted paper is independently reviewed by at least two peer-reviewers. Decision for publication, amendment, or rejection is based upon their reports/recommendation. If two or more reviewers consider a manuscript unsuitable for publication in this journal, a statement explaining the basis for the decision will be sent to the authors within three months of the submission date.

All manuscripts will be checked for plagiarism detection, and therefore we strongly encourage authors to do themselve similarity test before submission. The manusrcipt has higher 20 % similarity will be directly rejected.

Revision of manuscripts

Manuscripts sent back to the authors for revision should be returned to the editor without delay. Revised manuscripts can be sent to editorial office through the Online Submission Interface (https://ijimce.ppj.unp.ac.id/index.php/ijimce/login). The revised manuscripts returned later than three months will be considered as new submissions.

STANDARD PAPERS. Original articles (at least 6000 words) inclusive of all parts of the paper . Typescripts should be arranged as follows, with each section starting on a separate page.

Title Page

A concise and informative title.

A list of author names, affiliation(s), and e-mail addresses.

The name, complete mailing address (including e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers) of the corresponding author.

Abstract. A concise and factual abstract (150-250 words) is required. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided. Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.

Keywords. A list in alphabetical order not exceeding ten words or short phrases, excluding words used in the title and chosen carefully to reflect the precise content of the paper.

Introduction. State the reason for the work, the context, background, aims and the hypotheses being tested. End the Introduction with a brief statement of what has been achieved.

Materials and methods. Include sufficient details for the work to be repeated. Where specific equipment and materials are named, the manufacturer’s details (name, city and country) should be given so that readers can trace specifications by contacting the manufacturer. Where commercially available software has been used, details of the supplier should be given in brackets or the reference given in full in the reference list.

Results and Discussion. State the results of experimental or modelling work, drawing attention to important details in tables and figures and discuss them intensively by citing other refrences.

Conclusion. Give the main findings and conclude the result and discussion

Acknowledgements. Be brief. If authors refer to themselves as recipients of assistance or funding, they should do so by their initials separated by points (A.B.C .e.g). Do not acknowledge Editors by name.

References (see Manuscript Specifications below).

Tables. Each table should be inserted in body-text and numbered as well as accompanied by a legend at the top. These should be referred to in the text as Table 1, etc. Avoid duplication between figures and tables.

Figures . Figures and their legends should be inserted in body text manuscript. Figures should be referred to in the text as Fig. 1, Figs 1 & 2, etc. Photographic material should also be referred to as Figures. The figures must be in high resolution and no blur.

REFERENCES.

The rules for writing a bibliography in APA Style format are as follows: Last name of the author, first name. (Year of publication). Article title. Journal name, volume (issue if applicable), page(s)
