Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
  • Article Withdrawal
    The author is not allowed to withdraw submitted manuscripts because the withdrawal is a waste of valuable resources that editors and referees spent much time processing submitted manuscripts and works invested by the publisher. For attention, before the author submits the manuscript through our OJS, the author must approve the checklist we provide.
    If the author requests the withdrawal of his/her manuscript when the manuscript is still in the peer-reviewing process, the author will be punished by paying Rp 150.000 per manuscript. If the withdrawal of the manuscript after the manuscript is accepted for publication, the author will be punished by paying Rp 250.000 per manuscript.

Author Guidelines

SUBMISSION OF ARTICLES

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: Papers sent have never been published and are not in the process of evaluating other publications; they have been agreed by the joint authors, if any, as the same party responsible for the text. The issuer will not be responsible for claims or requests for compensation for matters relating to the text.


The manuscript must be sent with other files (author packs) using an electronic file addressed to: JGE Editor, Geophysics Engineering Department, Engineering Faculty, University of Lampung, E-mail: jge.tgu@eng.unila.ac.id. The section editor will check and create an account if the manuscript meets the criteria.


The sent manuscripts must follow the template and author guidelines. The length of the manuscript, including tables and figures, should be no more than 25 pages.

SCOPE: This journal contains reviews of published research results related to theories, evaluations of other research results, and/or policy provisions, which are intended for policymakers as material for decision-making. The problem is discussed comprehensively, and the aim is to provide information about geophysical technology and earth science worldwide.


ARTICLE PREPARATION

LANGUAGES: This journal contains articles in good Indonesian and English. Use terms to follow the Language Development Guidelines and Centers.

ARTICLE FORMS: Manuscripts are arranged in the following order: title of the paper, author's name and address, abstracts (300 words) and keywords, introduction, literature review, research methods, results and discussion, conclusions and suggestions, ending with a bibliography.

ARTICLE TITLE: The title must be concise, factual and informative, which accurately reflects the contents of the manuscript. The title cannot be more than 15 words. AUTHOR'S NAME: The author's name and the name of the institution (institution) where the author works, along with full address, telephone number, fax, and email, are listed under the heading. If the author is more than one person, then writing his name follows the code of ethics of writing. If deemed necessary, the title of the manuscript can be accompanied by subtitles to reinforce the purpose of the writing.

ABSTRACT: Abstract is a summary of the most important elements of the text, written in one paragraph of no more than 300 words. The abstract must be able to describe the problem, the purpose of the writing, and the conclusion concisely. Avoid abbreviations and references in the abstract.

KEYWORDS: A minimum of three to five keywords consisting of one word or a combination of words that indicate the main subjects in the text.

INTRODUCTION: Contains background, formulation of problems, objectives, and citation of relevant libraries.

DISCUSSION: The discussion refers to the KTI review relating to the results of research in geophysics, geology, geomorphology, geochemistry, geotechnical, hydrogeology, meteorology & climatology, mining, remote sensing and GIS, disaster mitigation, and published rock physics, associated with theory, evaluation of research results and/or policy provisions, aimed at users including policymakers, practitioners, academics, instructors, students and other general users. The discussion is written concisely, focusing on the interpretation of the results obtained, and is not a repetition of the results section. The discussion was carried out comprehensively and aimed at providing information about the development of geophysical technology and earth science in Indonesia, as well as its uses, problems, and solutions. The scope of the discussion covers the fields of science: geophysics, geology, geomorphology, geochemistry, geotechnics, hydrogeology, meteorology & climatology, mining, remote sensing and GIS, disaster mitigation, and rock physics.

CONCLUSION: A brief description in the form of a complete sentence that answers the aims and problems of the study and is equipped with suggestions or implications.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: Aimed at those who have helped in completing activities or funding.

MEASUREMENT UNIT: The unit of measurement in text and graphics uses the metric system, for example, in units of microns, mm, cm, km, for length; cm3, litres for volume; and g, kg, tons for weight. The use of pikul units, quintals, etc., is to be avoided.

TABLE: Tables should be given a brief but clear title with sufficient notes, including the source, in such a way that each table is able to explain the information presented independently. Each table is numbered sequentially and reviewed in the text.

FIGURE AND GRAPHICS: Images and graphics are made with lines thick enough to allow shrinkage in the printing process. All symbols and abbreviations in pictures and graphics must be explained. As in the table, the light on the graph must be sufficient to be presented independently. Images and graphics must be reviewed in the text. Black and white or colour photos should be of good quality.

BIBLIOGRAPHY: The library is arranged alphabetically by the first author's (family) name. Each library listed in the bibliography must be quoted (cited) in the text, and vice versa; each citation (citation) must be included in the bibliography. The minimum number of citations is 15. Primary libraries from some writers are expected to be more than secondary libraries, and libraries from within the country are more numerous than libraries from abroad. Manuscripts from many libraries abroad can be accepted if the problem discussed is useful or directly impacts the world. The novelty of the library has been attempted in the last 10 years.
