The abstract should be written in single spacing, with a maximum length of 250 words for the English version and 200 words for the Indonesian version. Following the abstract, authors must provide 3–5 keywords, listed alphabetically. Keywords must be selected based on the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) vocabulary available at https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/search

Introduction

The introduction outlines the background and objectives of the research, which should be written in paragraphs without subheadings. The content of the introduction should guide the reader to understand and align with the author's idea that the research being conducted is necessary and justified.

The introduction typically consists of 2-3 short paragraphs, making up no more than 20% of the entire article. The first part of the introduction provides the background of the research, explaining the situational context and conditions, including relevant facts to highlight the significance of the issue. The introduction should include epidemiological data, prevalence, incidence, or how often the issue occurs, to give a sense of the scope of the problem.

The second part of the introduction explains the importance of the issue and why it should be researched, supported by the latest and relevant literature. It should address what is already known and what remains unknown from previous studies, though without going into detailed specifics. If detailed information from the literature is considered important, it can be discussed in the discussion section.

The final paragraph states the research objectives, which should align with the research title. In addition, it is important to highlight the novelty of the study, which emphasizes the unique contribution and new insights that distinguish this research from previous studies.

Subjects and Methods

The subjects and methods section should be written in detail, including the research design, time and place of the study, population and subjects, inclusion criteria, exclusion criteria, discharge criteria, sample size determination formula, sample size, and number of treatment groups. It should also describe the sampling technique, sample allocation method into treatment groups, statement of approval from the health research ethics committee, including the approval letter number, informed consent statement, workflow of the research, statistical analysis methods used, and the computer program employed.

The workflow should describe the research variables that were measured, as well as technical information about the measurements or examinations, such as the examiner, equipment (including brand and manufacturer), and procedures. Any medications used should be explained, including the generic name, dosage, and administration method.

Results

At the beginning of the results section, the main findings of the research should be presented, containing the data obtained without interpreting their meaning (no need to provide reviews, comments, etc.). However, an introductory sentence is necessary to ensure a smooth flow that is easy to follow. The research results must be presented in accordance with the research objectives (research questions), in a logical order consistent with the structure of the manuscript. The presentation should begin with the characteristics of the research sample, followed by the main research data, which can be presented in the form of tables, graphs, figures, or textual narratives. Each research result must include the statistical analysis used.

The narrative of the results and statistical analysis should precede the tables/figures and only summarize the essence of the tables/figures (without repeating any information already presented in the table/figure/image). The narrative should clarify the result information found in the table/figure. Therefore, repetition of content already shown in the table or figure should be avoided, mentioning only key points for emphasis.

Tables or figures should align with the text. Avoid including tables or figures that are not referenced in the text. The total number of tables, figures, and/or graphs should not exceed 6 and must be directly relevant to the results.

Discussion

The discussion section elaborates on the findings, exploring and explaining what has been presented in the results section, based on supporting theories. The discussion should be more extensive than the introduction. The author must discuss the significance of the statistical results obtained from the statistical analysis, supported by valid references, theories, or data, rather than simply stating whether or not there is a significant difference.

The explanation, interpretation, or analysis of the research findings should be described theoretically, using the latest literature, while including proper references (and avoiding plagiarism) so that the research results are integrated into the established body of knowledge.

The discussion should be presented systematically and logically, in alignment with the order in which the research results were presented. It should include both the theoretical and practical implications of the findings. The discussion should not repeat data already presented in the results section in detail, except for emphasizing key points or as an introduction to the discussion. No additional tables or figures should be included.

The results of the study should be compared with the results of relevant recent studies, highlighting new aspects of the study as well as similarities and differences. If there are discrepancies with other studies, the author should explain why the results differ from similar research. Other research findings that support the author's conclusions may also be included.

Conclusion

The conclusion should be written separately as a new section heading. It must be concise, clear, and directly related to the title, objectives, and results of the research. Do not repeat the abstract, statistical data/results, or discussion in the conclusion. The conclusion should convey the key takeaways that the author wants the reader to remember from the research, while also acknowledging the study’s limitations to provide a balanced perspective.

Tables

Tables should be organized sequentially according to the information in the text. Each table should have a short and clear title, so that it can stand alone. Explanations and abbreviations should be placed in the table caption, not in the table title. Do not use vertical lines between columns. Only horizontal lines should be used above and below the column headers and at the bottom of the table. The maximum number of tables allowed is 6.

Images/Photos/Graphics

Images/photos that are recognizable must be accompanied by written permission. Images that have been previously published must be properly referenced. Images/photos should be numbered consecutively as they appear in the text. The best image quality is required for publication, so images can also be uploaded in image formats (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or EPS) as supplementary files. The minimum resolution for all images in color (RGB mode) or grayscale should be at least 300 dpi (dots per inch). The recommended resolution for line art (charts or images with typographic elements) is 600 dpi. For x-ray films, scans, and other diagnostic images, as well as images of pathology specimens or photomicrographs, black photo prints are preferred.

References

References should be written in Vancouver style (AMA style) and numbered according to their order of appearance in the article, not alphabetically. The maximum number of authors to be included in a reference is six. If there are more than six authors, list the first six authors followed by "et al." The minimum number of references in a manuscript is 10, all from the last 10 years. Eighty percent of the references should be journal articles, with the remaining 20% consisting of textbooks.
