Manuscript Type
The Indonesian Journal of Phytopathology (JFI) contains manuscripts relating to plant diseases and their control, including pathogen characterization, pathogen detection and identification, disease physiology and biochemistry, molecular biology, morphology and ultrastructure, genetics, disease transmission, ecology and epidemiology, chemical and biological control , and characteristics of biological agents controlling pathogens as well as topics regarding abiotic disturbances in plant health. Manuscripts can be research results, short communications, or new disease findings (disease notes).
Research article manuscript is 3500 words (including figures and tables). The research manuscript consists of Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Bibliography.
Communication manuscript is written following a specific format without division into Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion; maximum manuscript length of 2500 words (including figures and tables). Urgent research results can be published as short communications.
New disease discovery manuscripts ( disease notes ) are written using the same format as short communication manuscripts. A manuscript is a report on a new disease or pathogen that has the potential to cause major losses, a new distribution location for a disease or pathogen, a new host plant for a pathogen, or a new race of a pathogen.
All parts of the manuscript, including the abstract, table and figure titles, table footnotes, and bibliography are typed in the Microsoft Word program with double spacing on A4 size paper , typed margins on all sides are 3 cm each, one column, typeface Times New Roman 12 pt . Each page is numbered sequentially starting from the title page and placed at the bottom right. Tables and figures are placed on the final page of the manuscript after the bibliography. Each table or figure is numbered sequentially and placed on a separate page.
Description of the Structure of Script Writing
Writers can follow the article writing templates available at OJS. Writing titles uses capital letters, while in subtitles only the first letter is capitalized ( capital per word ).
Title. Titles in Indonesian and English are written concisely and clearly ( ≤14 words), typed with capital letters at the beginning of each word with exceptions according to Indonesian language rules. Indonesian titles are typed in bold, while English titles are not in italics. Latin names and other foreign terms are typed in italics. Common abbreviations (PCR, DNA) and acronyms (Elisa) can be used in the title. Organisms that do not have an equivalent name in Indonesian are written using their scientific name (e.g. bacteria: Erwinia carotovora ; fungus: Rhizoctonia solani; virus: Cucumber mosaic virus ).
Author Credits. The author's name is written in full along with the name of the institution/institution, city and postal code. Corresponding authors are marked *, and are accompanied by complete mailing addresses, telephone numbers and electronic mail addresses ( e-mail ).
Abstract. Written in Indonesian (Abstract) and English ( Abstract ), each not exceeding 250 words presented in one paragraph. The abstract is a short summary of the article so it must include a summary of the background and objectives of the research, methods, results and conclusions. Keywords consist of 3 to 5 phrases (not yet in the title), arranged in alphabetical order and typed at the bottom of the abstract. Keywords are typed using lowercase letters, except for words that must be written with special conditions.
Introduction. The introductory section provides background and problems accompanied by references using primary sources. The novelty to be achieved needs to be presented clearly and straightforwardly. The research objectives are conveyed using measurable verbs. All scientific names of organisms are written without the author's name. The common name of an organism must be followed by its scientific name when first used, for example rice ( Oryza sativa ).
Materials and Methods. Materials used in research need to clearly state their identity and origin. Common tools, such as gourd glasses, do not need to be written about. Likewise, the composition of common ingredients, for example "potato dextrose agar" and " hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) buffer solution". Methods must be clearly written, detailed, and repeatable. This section also explains the technical implementation of research systematically according to what is being carried out and can be complemented by an experimental design.
The commonly used method is simply to write down the reference source. If any part is changed or modified, the author must explain only the modified part. Example “Total RNA extraction from papaya leaf samples (0.1 g) was carried out using the CTAB method (Doyle and Doyle 1987). "Modifications were made to the incubation time for crushed leaf samples from 60 minutes to 30 minutes to increase the efficiency of the CTAB method." Unpublished methods (including how to use tools) should be written in detail.
The units of measurement use International Standard Units (g, kg, L, cm) and the writing model is g L -1 instead of g/L. Writing decimal numbers uses dots, not commas. Numbers that are multiples of thousands with more than four digits are separated using spaces, except for numbers that only have four digits (Writing examples: 3560, 10 000, 215 000). The type of strain /isolate/ microbial mutant used needs to have its identity written down (name, code, collection number, source, and physiological or genetic characteristics) in table form.
Results. The research results section is written separately from the discussion. The presentation of the results must be clear and accurate, not accompanied by reference sources or discussion, and not repeat the experimental methods previously explained. The description of the results should not read the data or statistical tests, but describe the findings that need to be discussed. Tables and figures are created to support the results statement. Every table and figure must be referenced in the text. Data that has been presented in tabular form may not be repeated in images, or vice versa.
Table and figure formats are presented in open form. Tables without vertical lines and horizontal lines in the information area, and images without top and right border lines. Table titles (above the table) and figure titles (below the figure) are numbered in the order they are referred to in the text. Examples of tables and figures can be seen in the latest edition of the Indonesian Journal of Phytopathology.
Discussion. The discussion description includes interpretation of the important results presented in the results section. Discussion of results is linked to the formulation of problems and objectives. In the discussion, the author also needs to compare it with research results that have been published and enriched with primary reference sources in the last five years. At the end of the discussion, conclusions and implications for related fields are presented. What needs to be avoided is repeating methods, results, or information that was written in the previous chapter.
Acknowledgment. This section is used to convey thanks to funders (need to be accompanied by a contract number) and institutions and individuals who have contributed to carrying out research or writing article manuscripts.
Bibliography. The bibliography is arranged based on the alphabetical order of the first author's last name. The names of the first author and subsequent authors are preceded by the last name/surname followed by the abbreviation of the first name and middle name without being separated by a comma or period. The bibliography must be accompanied by a DOI number. The DOI number can be checked at the following link: https://doi.crossref.org/simpleTextQuery . The name of a scientific periodical is written in full (not abbreviated) and written upright. Book titles are not abbreviated and are written upright, with capital letters for each word ( capital each word ). The use of primary literature is highly recommended and a minimum of 90% is recommended.
