Abstracts are written in Indonesian and English, each of which is equipped with keywords. Keywords can be single words or compound words (consisting of more than one word). Writing keywords between three to five (3-5) words and can follow the classification as follows: theoretical methods, experimental methods, phenomena, research objects and their applications.
The manuscript consists of an Introduction, Research Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusions, and Bibliography. Subtitles are written in capital letters and numbered with Arabic numerals. Acknowledgments (if any), Attachments (if any) are written sequentially after the Conclusions and at the beginning of the words are not numbered. The use of subtitles should be avoided, but if necessary, are numbered with Arabic numerals such as the following example: 1.1., 1.2., ... and so on.
Preliminary. The introduction should include the following: background, problem formulation, objectives, theories, hypotheses (if any), and expectations for research results and benefits. Research methods. The research method used must be written in a scientific manner, which is rational, empirical and systematic. It should be clearly stated the time and place of the study, along with the data, tools and materials used in the study. The results and discussion contain the results of the analysis of phenomena in the research area that are relevant to the theme of the study. Research results should be compared with relevant research theories and findings. Conclusions can be in the form of specific and general conclusions. Specific conclusions are the result of data analysis or the results of hypothesis testing about the phenomenon under study. General conclusions are the result of generalizations or linkages with similar phenomena in other areas of previous publications.
Referencing is using endnotes format. Symbols are written clearly and consistently. Foreign terms are written in italic letters. Abbreviations must be written in full when first mentioned, after which a short word can be written. The table is written in Times New Roman with a size of 10 pt and spaced 1 space below the table title. The title of the table is written with 12 pt letters, placed above the table. Images are placed as soon as they are mentioned in the manuscript. Images are placed at the top or bottom position of each page and cannot be enclosed in sentences. Numbering of images uses Arabic numerals. Image captions is written using Times New Roman 12 pt, and placed at the bottomof the images. Images that have been published by other authors must be stated their source in the description.
Literature citations in the manuscript are written using Arabic numerals and are sorted in the order in which they are cited. Numbers are written in square brackets. Examples of citing libraries are as follows:
Monsoon and ITCZ (Intertropical Convergence Zone) movements are related to variations in annual and semi-annual rainfall in Indonesia [1,2].
Liberti et. al. [3] using data ……… ..
Numbers 1,2,3 and so show the order of citations in the manuscript and all citations then sorted in the Bibliography by writing as in the example.
The bibliography is written in accordance with the order of quotation in the manuscript. The number of reference sources in one article is at least ten sources, with 80% being the primary reference source and 80% being from the last 5 years. The bibliography format used in the BIOTIK Journal refers to the IEEE model developed by the Mendeley, such as the following example:
