INTRODUCTION

Types of Paper

Contributions falling into the following categories will be considered for publication: Research Article, Short Communication and Invited Review.

Research Article. Present an original and important major advance in primatology, with a wide research scheme and a deep discussion of the findings. The structure of the article consists of Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and References. This article should be typed within 15 pages or 6500-8000 words (including figures and tables).

Short Communication. Depending on urgency, research scope, and/or the depth of discussion, an article can be published as a short communication. The structure of the article consists of Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and References. The short communication (maximum 5000 words) receives the same in-depth review as the Research Article.

Invited Review. A survey, evaluation and critical interpretation of recent research, data and concepts in the field of primatology. An invited review article is only submitted based on an invitation by the Editor-in-Chief.

Please ensure that you select the appropriate article type from the list of options when making your submission. Authors contributing to special issues should ensure that they select the special issue article type from this list.

Ethics in Publishing

For information on Ethics in Publishing and Ethical guidelines for journal publication, see https://journal.ipb.ac.id/index.php/primatology/about

Conflict of Interest

All authors are requested to disclose any actual or potential conflict of interest, including any financial, personal or other relationships with other people or organisations within three years of beginning the submitted work that could inappropriately influence, or be perceived to influence, their work.

Submission Declaration

Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis or as an electronic preprint), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere including electronically in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the copyright-holder.

Changes of Authorship

This policy concerns the addition, deletion, or rearrangement of author names in the authorship of accepted manuscripts:

Before the accepted manuscript is published in an online issue: Requests to add or remove an author, or to rearrange the author names, must be sent to the Journal Manager from the corresponding author of the accepted manuscript and must include: (a) the reason the name should be added or removed, or the author names rearranged and (b) written confirmation (email, fax, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. For the addition or removal of authors, confirmation is required from the author being added or removed. The Journal Manager will forward requests not sent by the corresponding author to the corresponding author, who must follow the procedure described above. Note that: (1) Journal Managers will inform the Journal Editors of any such requests, and (2) publication of the accepted manuscript in an online issue is suspended until authorship has been agreed.

After the accepted manuscript is published in an online issue, any requests to add, delete, or rearrange author names in an article published in that issue will follow the same policies noted above and result in a corrigendum.

JOURNAL PUBLISHING AGREEMENT

Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to complete a Journal Publishing Agreement. Acceptance of the agreement will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. An email will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript, together with a Journal Publishing Agreement form or a link to the online version of this agreement. Permission of the society is required for resale or distribution outside the institution and for all other derivative works, including compilations and translations (please consult us at our email address). If excerpts from other copyrighted works are included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article.

ROLE OF THE FUNDING SOURCE

You are requested to identify who provided financial support for the conduct of the research and/or preparation of the article and to briefly describe the role of the sponsor(s), if any, in study design; in the collection, analysis and interpretation of data; in the writing of the report; and in the decision to submit the article for publication. If the funding source(s) had no such involvement, then this should be stated.

LANGUAGE (Usage and Editing Services)

Please write your text in good English (American or British usage is accepted, but not a mixture of these). Authors who feel their English language manuscript may require editing to eliminate possible grammatical or spelling errors and to conform to correct scientific English may wish to use the English Language Editing services.

SUBMISSION

Submission to this journal proceeds totally online. Use the following guidelines to prepare your article. Via the homepage of this journal https://journal.ipb.ac.id/index.php/primatology/about/submissions, you will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of the MS Word files. These source files are needed for further processing after acceptance. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revision, takes place by e-mail and via the author's homepage. If you are unable to provide an electronic version, please get in touch with the editorial office before submission, e-mail: inajp@apps.ipb.ac.id.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Tables and figures may be presented with captions within the main body of the manuscript; if so, figures should additionally be uploaded as high-resolution files.

Use of Word Processing Software

The file must be saved in the native format of the word processor used. The text should be in single-column format. Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible. Most formatting codes will be removed and replaced during article processing. In particular, do not use the word processor's options to justify text or to hyphenate words. However, do use bold face, italics, subscripts, superscripts, etc. When preparing tables, if you are using a table grid, use only one grid for each table, not one for each row. If no grid is used, use tabs, not spaces, to align columns. The electronic text should be prepared in a way very similar to that of conventional manuscripts. Note that source files of figures, tables and text graphics will be required whether or not you embed your figures in the text. To avoid unnecessary errors, you are strongly advised to use the 'spell check' and 'grammar check' functions of your word processor.

Article Structure

Subdivision - Numbered Sections

Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering). Use this numbering for internal cross-referencing as well; do not just refer to 'the text'. Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its own separate line.

Introduction

State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Give a description (local and scientific name) of the studied organism(s).

Materials and Methods

Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. A reference should indicate methods already published: only relevant modifications should be described. Please describe whether the study is experimental or exploratory. Name the number of samples and give credit to whom you obtained the sample. State seasonal variation of the habitat (if applicable) or date of sampling. Human materials should be collected in accordance with standard ethical practices and written informed consent.

Result

Results and Discussion should be written separately. Results should be clear and concise. State the results obtained using the methods. Do not present the same data in both table and graph formats. Means should be accompanied by standard deviation.

Discussion

This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. Discuss your data by comparing the current reported data with previous results, but avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature. Highlight similarities, differences, and the uniqueness of your findings. End the discussion with a conclusion and future research directions for that topic.

Supplemental Material/Information (SI)

If there is more than one SI, identify them as S1, S2, etc. Formulae and equations in the appendices should have separate numbering: Eq. (S.1), Eq. (S.2), etc. The same applies to tables and figures: Table S1, Fig. S1, etc.

Essential Title Page Information

• Title. Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulas where possible.
• Author names and affiliations. Please clearly indicate the given name(s) and family name(s) of each author and check that all names are accurately spelt. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
• Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that the e-mail address is given and that contact details are kept up to date by the corresponding author.
• Present/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address' (or 'Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address where the author actually performed the work must be retained as the main affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.

Abstract

A concise and factual abstract is required. The abstract should briefly state the purpose of the research, the principal results, and the 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, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if it’s essential, they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself. Abstract should commence with a clear introduction of two or three sentences mentioning the background of the research. Subsequently, state the general problem of the research, followed by results/main findings that directly answer the problem. Give one or two sentences to discuss the findings or perspectives.

Keywords

Authors are invited to submit three to five keywords, consisting of simple phrases rather than single words, associated with their paper. These keywords should not include words already used in the title.

Abreviations

Define abbreviations that are not standard in this field in a footnote to be placed on the first page of the article. Such abbreviations that are unavoidable in the abstract must be defined at their first mention there, as well as in the footnote. Ensure consistency of abbreviations throughout the article.

Acknowledgements

Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article before the references and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here the individuals who provided help during the research (e.g., language assistance, writing assistance, or proofreading the article).

Nomenclature and Units

Follow internationally accepted rules and conventions: use the International System of Units (SI). If other quantities are mentioned, give their SI equivalents. Authors wishing to present a table of nomenclature should do so on the second page of their manuscript.

Math Formula

Please submit math equations as editable text and not as images. Present simple formula in line with normal text where possible and use the solidus (/) instead of a horizontal line for small fractional terms, e.g., X/Y. In principle, variables are to be presented in italics. Powers of e are often more conveniently denoted by exp. Number consecutively any equations that have to be displayed separately from the text (if referred to explicitly in the text).

Footnotes

Footnotes should be used sparingly. Number them consecutively throughout the article. Many word processors can embed footnotes in the text, and this feature can be used. Otherwise, please indicate the position of footnotes in the text and list the footnotes themselves separately at the end of the article. Do not include footnotes in the Reference list. Table footnotes: Indicate each footnote in a table with a superscript lowercase letter.

Artwork

Electronic Artwork

General points:

• Make sure you use uniform lettering and sizing of your original artwork.
• Embed the used fonts if the application provides that option.
• Aim to use the following fonts in your illustrations: Arial, Courier, Times New Roman, Symbol, or use fonts that look similar.
• Number the illustrations according to their sequence in the text.
• Use a logical naming convention for your artwork files.
• Provide captions to illustrations separately.
• Size the illustrations close to the desired dimensions of the published version.
• Submit each illustration as a separate file.

Formats:

If your electronic artwork is created in a Microsoft Office application (Word, PowerPoint, Excel), then please supply 'as is' in the native document format. Regardless of the application used other than Microsoft Office, when your electronic artwork is finalised, please 'Save as' or convert the images to one of the following formats (note the resolution requirements for line drawings, halftones, and line/halftone combinations given below):

• EPS (or PDF): Vector drawings, embed all used fonts.
• TIFF (or JPEG): Colour or grayscale photographs (halftones), keep to a minimum of 300 dpi.
• TIFF (or JPEG): Bitmapped (pure black-and-white pixels) line drawings; keep to a minimum of 1000 dpi.
• TIFF (or JPEG): Combinations of bitmapped line/half-tone (colour or grayscale), keep to a minimum of 500 dpi.

Please do not:

• Supply files that are optimised for screen use (e.g., GIF, BMP, PICT, WPG); these typically have a low number of pixels and a limited set of colours;
• Supply files that are too low-resolution.
• Submit graphics that are disproportionately large for the content.

Color Artwork

Please make sure that artwork files are in an acceptable format (TIFF, EPS, or MS Office) and at the correct resolution. If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable colour figures, then we will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in colour on the Web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in colour in the printed version.

Figure Captions

Ensure that each illustration has a caption. Supply captions separately, not attached to the figure. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum, but explain all symbols and abbreviations used.

Tables

Please submit tables as editable text and not as images. Tables can be placed either next to the relevant text in the article, or on separate page(s) at the end. Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text and place any table notes below the table body. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in them do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article. Please avoid using vertical rules.

References

Citation in Text

Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the reference list, they should follow the journal's standard reference style and include a substitution of the publication date with either 'Unpublished results' or 'Personal communication'. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication.

Web References

At a minimum, the full URL and the date the reference was last accessed should be provided. Any further information, if known (DOI, author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list.

References in a special issue

Please ensure that the words 'this issue' are added to any references in the list (and any citations in the text) to other articles in the same Special Issue.

REFERENCE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

This journal has standard templates available in key reference management packages, such as:

• EndNote ( http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp)
• Reference Manager ( http://refman.com/support/rmstyles.asp)
• Other reference manager software, such as Mendeley or Zotero

Using plug-ins for word-processing packages, authors only need to select the appropriate journal template when preparing their article, and the list of references and citations will be formatted according to the journal style, which is described below.

REFERENCE STYLE

Text: All citations in the text should refer to:

1. Single author: the author's name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the year of publication;
2. Two authors: both authors' names and the year of publication;
3. Three or more authors: first author's name followed by 'et al.' and the year of publication.

Citations may be made directly (or parenthetically). Groups of references should be listed first alphabetically, then chronologically.

Examples: 'as demonstrated (Allan 2000a, 2000b, 1999; Allan and Jones 1999). Kramer et al. (2010) have recently shown ....'

References should be arranged first alphabetically, then chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters' a ', 'b', 'c', etc., placed after the year of publication.

Use of the Digital Object Identifier

The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) may be used to cite and link to electronic documents. The DOI is a unique alphanumeric string assigned to a document by the publisher upon initial electronic publication. The assigned DOI never changes. Therefore, it is an ideal medium for citing a document, particularly 'Articles in press', because they have not yet received their full bibliographic information. Example of a correctly given DOI (in URL format; here an article in the journal Physics Letters B): http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2010.09.059

When you use a DOI to create links to documents on the web, the DOIs are guaranteed never to change.

Proofs

One set of page proofs (as PDF files) will be sent by e-mail to the corresponding author (if we do not have an e-mail address, then paper proofs will be sent by post) or a link will be provided in the e-mail so that authors can download the files themselves. We now provide authors with PDF proofs that can be annotated; to do so, you will need to download Adobe Reader version 7 (or higher), available free from http://get.adobe.com/reader. Instructions for annotating PDF files will accompany the proofs (also available online). The exact system requirements are given at the Adobe site: http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/systemreqs.

If you do not wish to use the PDF annotations function, you may list the corrections (including replies to the Query Form) and return them to us in an e-mail. Please list your corrections quoting line number. If, for any reason, this is not possible, then mark the corrections and any other comments (including replies to the Query Form) on a printout of your proof and return by fax, or scan the pages and e-mail, or by post. Please use this proof only for checking the typesetting, editing, completeness and correctness of the text, tables and figures. Significant changes to the article as accepted for publication will only be considered at this stage with permission from the Editor. We will do everything possible to get your article published quickly and accurately- – please let us have all your corrections within 48 hours. It is important to ensure that all corrections are sent back to us in one communication: please check carefully before replying, as inclusion of any subsequent corrections cannot be guaranteed. Proofreading is solely your responsibility. Note that We may proceed with the publication of your article if no response is received.

ARTICLE PROCESSING CHARGE

Authors whose work is accepted for publication are subject to a free article processing charge (APC). This free APC is only available for a limited time until further information is available on our official website.

The Indonesian Journal of Primatology has no printable version and is very limited for promotional use.
