Author Guidelines

Article Writing Guidelines for the NUTRIASIK: Jurnal Terapan Gizi dan Pangan Fungsional Kesehatan Journal

  1. Title

The article title should not exceed 18 words and be written concisely and clearly in English and/or Indonesian. The title should reflect the content of the article and should not contain uncommon abbreviations.

  1. Author Names

The author's full name should be written without academic titles. If there is more than one author, the order is based on contribution. The primary author is listed first (specifically provided in the Manuscript Submission Template).

  1. Affiliation

Affiliations should include the name of the institution, city, and country. If there are multiple authors with different affiliations, use superscript numbers to indicate the appropriate affiliation (specifically provided in the Manuscript Submission Template).

 

  1. Corresponding Authorship

Corresponding authors are indicated by an asterisk (*) and include a clear email address. The correspondence address should include the complete address, including city, province, and country (specifically provided in the Manuscript Submission Template).

  1. Abstract

The abstract should not exceed 250 words, nor should it be less than 150 words. The abstract is written in English and Indonesian and includes:

Introduction: Background and problem statement.

Objectives: The specific objectives of the study.

Methods: A brief explanation of the design, sample, and data analysis.

Results: The main findings of the study.

Conclusion: Implications and contributions of the study.

The abstract should end with keywords (3-5 words) that do not repeat words in the title.

  1. Introduction

This section explains the current issue, background to the problem, evidence base, a review of the latest literature (the last 10 years, preferably within the last 5 years and not quoting from books), research gaps, the novelty of the study, and the objectives of the study. Using primary reference sources (research articles) of >80% adds value to the review. Citations can be written at the beginning of a sentence, between sentences or paragraphs, or at the end of a paragraph. The following is an example of writing a background that includes several citation sources within a paragraph.

Schönefeld, in 2011, introduced readers to the literature related to the research. Citing literature for a study must be directly related to the research problem (gap analysis). 2 Literature citations adhere to the American Medical Association (AMA) style, written by the editors of JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association). 3 Therefore, according to Reis et al. (2022), writing citations and bibliographies is required using a reference manager application such as Mendeley, EndNote, Zotero, or ReadCube. 4

The introduction should be between 500 and 700 words long.

  1. Methods

The research methods must be described in detail, including the research design, population and sample, research instruments, data collection procedures, statistical analysis techniques, and ethical considerations. The description must be clear enough to be replicated by other researchers. If statistical formulas are used, include them in the text.

  1. Results

Results are presented systematically and supported by tables, figures, or graphs. Guidelines for writing results:

Tables: Tables are created in an open format and numbered (Table 1, Table 2, etc.), with the table title written above the table. Tables should be filled in using Aptos 10 pt font (specifically provided in the Manuscript Submission Template).

Figures/Graphs: Numbered (Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.) with captions below the figures. Figures should be black and white or grayscale (specifically provided in the Manuscript Submission Template).

Data Interpretation: Explain the findings without repeating the numerical data in the tables or figures.

  1. Discussion

The discussion focuses on interpreting the findings, comparing them with previous research, and explaining the implications of the results. It is not necessary to repeat data or statistics presented in the results section. This section also explains the limitations of the study. It is crucial to structure the discussion by including references cited from primary and recent sources (the last 10 years).

  1. Conclusion

The conclusion should be written concisely, addressing the research objectives proposed in the introduction. The conclusion should not be a rehash of the results, but rather a summary of significant findings. Recommendations can be provided at the end of the conclusion.

  1. Acknowledgements (Optional)

Acknowledgements may be included for those who have contributed to the research, either technically or financially.

  1. Author Contributions (Optional)

Authors should list the specific contributions of each author to the research, such as planning, data collection, analysis, or writing the manuscript.

  1. References

The reference list uses the standard American Medical Association (AMA) 11th citation style. In-text citations are numbered according to the order in which the references appear in the text. Each cited source is numbered and written with a superscript numeral after punctuation, without parentheses. The superscript numeral will refer to the reference list at the end of the article. For example, a previous study showed that vitamin D deficiency is associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease.¹ Furthermore, several studies have reported that supplement use can improve nutritional status in children aged 2-5 years.²,³

All references cited in the text must appear in the bibliography, and the references in the bibliography must be cited in the text. Use reference management software such as Mendeley, Zotero, EndNote, etc. Reference sources should be from primary sources that are >80% up-to-date or more recent (within the last 10 years). The following is an example of a correct reference list (written in the order in which Arabic numerals appear in the text).
