17. Management reference applications, such as Mendeley, Zotero or Endnote, should be used by authors when citing references and creating a bibliography in the manuscript.

Special instructions

The manuscript must consist of the following components of the scientific article (subtitle-in order), as follows:

1. Title. Be concise and informative. Headings are often used in information retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulas if possible. The number of words in the title is a maximum of 20 words.
2. Author's name and affiliation. Please clearly indicate the name and surname of each author and check that all names are spelled correctly. You can add your name between the parentheses in your own script. Indicate the author's affiliate address (where the actual work is done) under the name. Indicate all affiliations with a small Arabic numeral superscript letter right after the author's name and in front of the corresponding address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliate, including the name of the country.
3. Appropriate author. Please clearly indicate who will handle corespodensity at all stages of refeering and publication, as well as post-publication, by giving a star (*) name. This responsibility includes answering future questions about methodology and materials. Ensure that the author's email address is provided and that the contact details are always updated by the appropriate author.
4. Current/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work described in the article was completed, or is visiting at the time, the 'Current address' ('Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to the author's name. The address in the author's name actually doing the job should be maintained as the primary affiliate address. Superscripted Arabic numerals are used for the footnote.
5. Abstract. The abstract must stand alone, meaning there are no citations in the abstract. Think of it as an ad for your article. The abstract should tell potential readers what you are doing and highlight key findings. Avoid using technical jargon and uncommon abbreviations. You need to be accurate, concise, clear and specific. Use words that reflect the right meaning, the abstract should be precise and honest. Please follow the word limit (150 words).
6. Keywords. Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, use American spelling and avoid generic and plural terms and some concepts (avoid, for example, 'and', 'from'). Save on abbreviations: only abbreviations that are established in the field are eligible. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.
7. Introduction. The writer must state the purpose of the work at the end of the introductory section. Before the objectives, the author should provide adequate background, and a very brief literature survey to note the solutions/methods at hand, to show which are the best of previous research, to show what you want to achieve (to solve limitations), and to demonstrate the scientific benefits or novelty of the paper. Avoid detailed surveys or summary results.
8. Method. Methods must make the reader able to reproduce the experiment. Provide enough detail to allow the work to be reproduced. The already published method should be indicated with reference: only relevant modifications should be described. Do not repeat the details of the established method. For chemicals, please provide brand details and purity (e.g. HCl (Merck, 38%). For instrumentation tools, please provide brand details (e.g. UV-Vis (Shimadzu) spectrophotometer.
9. Results and Discussion. The results should be clear and concise. The results should summarize the (scientific) findings rather than providing data in great detail. Please highlight the differences between your results or findings and previous publications by other researchers. Discussion must chlorinate the importance of the work, not repeat it. The combined Results and Discussion sections are often appropriate. Avoid extensive snippets and published literature discussions. In the discussion, this is the most important part of your article. Here you get the opportunity to sell your data. Create a discussion according to the results, but don't repeat the results. It should often begin with a brief summary of the main scientific findings (not the results of the experiment). The following components should be discussed in the discussion: How do your results relate to the original question or goal outlined in the Introduction (what) section? Do you provide a scientific interpretation of each of your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results consistent with what other researchers have reported (what else)? Or is there a difference?
10. Conclusion. The conclusion must answer the purpose of the research. Tell how your work advances the field from the current state of knowledge. Without a clear conclusion, reviewers and readers will have a hard time judging the work, and whether or not it is worthy of publication in a journal. Don't repeat the Abstract, or just list the results of the experiment. Provide clear scientific justifications for your work, and indicate possible applications and extensions. You should also suggest future experiments and/or indicate ongoing experiments.
11. Thank you. Collect acknowledgments in a separate section at the end of the article before reference and therefore, do not include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here the people who provide assistance during the research (e.g., providing language assistance, help writing or proofreading articles, etc.). If authors refer to themselves as recipients of aid or funding, they should do so with their initials separated by points (e.g. I.J.SE.). Don't acknowledge the Editor's name. Funding source formatting A list of funding sources in this standard manner to facilitate compliance with funding requirements: Funding: This work is supported by the Directorate General of Higher Education of the Republic of Indonesia [grant number zzzz]; University of Lampung [grant number xxxx, yyyy].
12. References. Please ensure that any references cited in the text are also in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be provided in full. Unpublished results and personal communication are not recommended in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the reference list, they must follow the journal's standard reference style and must include the replacement of the publication date with 'Unpublished results' or 'Personal communication'. A reference quote as 'in the press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication. If applicable, the author's name, journal title/book title, chapter title/article title, year of publication, book volume/chapter number and page numbering must be present. The use of DOI is highly recommended. Note that the missing data will be highlighted at the proof stage for the author to correct. Each article submitted must have at least 30 references as a scientific basis. There must be at least one reference that cites an article from Analytical Journal to show local relevance and contribution.

Image caption

Make sure each illustration has a caption. The caption should consist of a short title (not on the image itself) and an illustrative description. Keep the text in the illustration itself to a minimum but explain all the symbols and abbreviations used.

Text graphics

Text graphics can be embedded in the text in the appropriate position.

Table

Submit the table as editable text and not as an image. The table can be placed next to the relevant text in the article, or on a separate page at the end. Number the tables in order according to how they appear in the text and place the table notes below the table body. Be sparing in the use of tables and make sure that the data presented in them do not duplicate the results described elsewhere in the article. Please avoid using vertical and shadow rules in table cells.
