Author Guidelines

1. General Manuscript Requirements

  1. Scope and Originality: Manuscripts must present original research findings, technological applications, or innovative engineering concepts within civil engineering.
  2. Exclusivity: Submitted manuscripts must not have been previously published or be currently under review by another journal. Authors are required to submit an official Statement of Originality upon submission.
  3. Language: Manuscripts may be written in Bahasa Indonesia or standard Academic English. Manuscripts in Bahasa Indonesia must adhere to official Indonesian grammar rules (EYD/PUEBI).

  • Submission Portal: Manuscripts must be submitted electronically via the online OJS submission system.

3. Manuscript Structure

  1. Title: Concise (no more than 16 words), clear, informative, centered, uppercase (except scientific names), and set in 12 pt bold font.
  2. Author Names and Affiliations: Author names must be written without academic titles and placed directly beneath the title. Institutional affiliations and active email addresses must be provided for communication.
  3. Abstract and Keywords: Abstracts must be provided in both Bahasa Indonesia and English, not exceeding 250 words. The English abstract should be set in italics. Include up to 5 keywords listed beneath the abstract.
  4. Introduction: Concise background explaining the research context, existing gaps, state-of-the-art literature, and primary research objectives.
  5. Theoretical Framework: Formatted under specific thematic headings rather than a generic "Literature Review" section title.
  6. Methodology: Detailed description of analytical techniques, laboratory testing, numerical simulations, or field approaches used to address the research problem.
  7. Results: Clear presentation of research data and findings, supported by relevant figures, diagrams, or tables.
  8. Discussion: In-depth analysis interpreting the findings in comparison with relevant contemporary research literature.
  9. Conclusions: Summary of primary achievements and main conclusions derived from the study.
  10. Impact and Significance: Explanation of practical engineering contributions, socio-economic benefits, or broader technological impacts.
  11. References: All cited references must follow the APA Style (7th Edition) and be arranged alphabetically. Authors are strongly recommended to manage references using Mendeley Reference Manager.
  12. Manuscript Template: The official manuscript template can be downloaded directly from the journal sidebar or downloaded via the official link.
