DIRECTIONS FOR WRITING ARTICLES FOR THE ABDI MEDIKA JOURNAL

Journal of Community Service (ABDI MEDIKA), published by the ITSKes Insan Cendekia Medika Jombang Institute for Research and Community Service. This magazine is published to a national level and is primarily concerned with the advancement of science in the area of community service. The aim of this magazine is to communicate conceptual concepts or ideas related to community service. The ABDI MEDIKA Journal's editorial board welcomes you to submit papers for publication in the journal. A sample article written in this style may be seen HERE.

How to Write the Title, Name, and Address of the Author

The article's title must be at the top of the first page, with the content centered. Meanwhile, the author's name (without an academic degree) and affiliation address must be placed in the text's center, directly underneath the article title. Between the title and the author's name, authors must leave two lines of space. Then, there should be one space between the author's affiliation address and the abstract title. All terms should have a keyword list underneath the general abstract. It should be ordered alphabetically and include a maximum of three to five words separated by a semicolon. Additionally, the title of the Indonesian-language piece must be mentioned in English (see example above).

The first author should be identified as the responsible author, correspondent author, or suitable author, followed by the second, third, and so on. Communication about the article's change and the final statement will be made solely through email to the will's author. If there are several authors, each author's name must be written individually, separated by a comma (,). If the author's name is more than two words long, the initial name should not be shortened. If the author's name is a single word, it should be capitalized. However, it will be written in two words with the same name again in the web version for metadata indexing reasons.

Articles from the General Guide

The following basic principles apply to manuscript manuscripts:

  1. A manuscript is a work produced as a consequence of community service that has not been published in the news media or in other publications.
  2. The text is free of plagiarism. Any material that is found to be plagiarized will be promptly rejected by the editorial board.
  3. The submission and publishing processes are completely free.
  4. Manuscripts must be prepared in accordance with ABDI MEDIKA standards (in MS Word format, using this article template) and submitted through the Online Submission System via the ABDI MEDIKA Journal portal's Open Journal System (OJS). Then, under the "Register" area, register as an author or reviewer.
  5. Guidelines and templates for writing manuscripts are available for download. Templates and instructions for article writing are provided.
  6. Manuscripts for online submissions are available in the section below on online submission guides.
  7. Manuscripts that do not adhere to the writing standards established by ABDI MEDIKA will be returned to the author prior to the review process.
  8. The paper must have the following elements of a scientific article: (subtitles in order), namely (a) the article's title, (b) the author's name (no academic title), (c) the illustrated author's address, and (d) the author's email. (e) the abstract and keywords, (f) the introduction, (g) the implementation and techniques, (h) the findings and discussion, I the conclusion, and (j) the bibliography.
  9. Avoid the use of subheadings inside the body of the text. Subtitles are put in bold and capital letters at the beginning of the word if there are any. Without the use of an underlining, the text is aligned to the left.
  10. The document may be written in Indonesian or in the standard language of English. The essay is between ten (10) and fifteen (15) pages in length, including illustrations and tables. Manuscripts must follow the article template. The article is printed on A4 paper (210x297 mm) with the following custom margins: left 20 mm, right 20 mm, bottom 25 mm, and top 30 mm.
  11. The article's content must be written in Times New Roman font, 12pt, two-spaced, and divided into two columns (save for the main title, author's name, and abstract), with a 10 mm gap between the columns.
  12. Italics are used for words from foreign languages or dialects of foreign languages. Foreign terminology or words should be avoided in articles written in Indonesian. Each paragraph begins 10mm from the border's left edge, with no gap between paragraphs. Except for new phrases, all numbers are written in Arabic numerals.
  13. Tables and figures are inserted after the referenced table or figure in the text group. Each picture must have a caption underneath it and be numbered consecutively in Arabic followed by the image title. Each table must have a title and be numbered in Arabic numerals above the table, immediately after the table title. The pictures included must be printable (font size, resolution and line space clearly visible). Between groups of text, figures, tables, and charts should be centered. If it is bigger in size, it may be centered on the page. Vertical lines are prohibited in the table, while horizontal lines are permitted only for significant points.

A Manual for Article Body Text

Article title: The title should be informative and well-written, succinct and clear, avoid ambiguity, and be pertinent to the topics covered. The first word is capitalized and symmetrical. The article's title has no uncommon abbreviations. The primary concept should be put first, followed by an explanation. The article's title must be twelve words in length, 12pt font size, with bold and centered text. Meanwhile, the abstract should be between 150 and 300 words in length and should include three to five keywords.

The introductory portion includes the following sections: (1) situation analysis; (2) partner problems; (3) proposed remedies; and (4) external objectives.

Implementation and Techniques: This section mostly discusses devotion's implementation and methods. The description of the activities' execution comprises the location, date, time, demographic information about the participants, and the total number of participants. Meanwhile, the technique description contains the procedures and materials used in the activity.

Results and Discussion: this section serves as the centerpiece of the dedication article and is often the longest portion. The service results shown in this section are "squeaky clean." It is unnecessary to describe the data analysis procedure. Tables and graphs may be used to illustrate the outcomes of a service. Tables and graphs should be discussed or commented on. The article's discussion aims to: (1) demonstrate how the implementation or solutions offered help partners overcome problems; (2) demonstrate how the output of the implementation or solution is an indicator of the program's success; and (3) explain the factors that help or hinder program implementation.

Conclusions and recommendations are included in the conclusion, each of which is expressed as a subtitle. This section is sometimes crammed with acknowledgements as well.

Bibliography: This section should include a list of all sources cited in the article. All references in this section must come from reputable sources (scientific journals and at least 80% of all references) published within the past decade. Each article must have a minimum of 10 references.
