ILMU KELAUTAN: Indonesian Journal of Marine Sciences (IJMS) is dedicated to publish highest quality research papers and review on all aspects of coastal management, marine biology, marine conservation, marine culture, marine geology and oceanography which has not been previously published (either in whole or in part), and not under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Manuscripts should be written in English and submitted solely to ILMU KELAUTAN.

MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION

Manuscript should present an original and important findings of research in marine related sciences. Only limited number of review paper which has significant contribution will be published.

All submitted articles must be accompanied by a proofreading certificate from a reputable language institution.

Manuscript Format

Manuscript should be written in 11 point Arial font double space in A4 paper with 3 cm left margin and 2 cm for other three margins. Page numbers should be located at the bottom right of each page. Figures and Tables are put at the end of the manuscript (after the references). Total length of the manuscript approximately 15 pages. For soft copies, we only accept in microsoft word saved in virus free file.

Manuscript should be written in the following order ie.

For manuscript written in Bahasa Indonesia should follow similar arrangement.

TITLE
Title should be concies and as informative as possible.
Authors should also give a running title, i.e. short title which will be put in the bottom of each pages of the paper.

Author’s Data

Author(s)’s full name (no abbreviation) and author full address, complete with postcode as well as phone and email address. (minimum 2 authors)

Abstract

Abstract should must in 250 words, to summarize the principal points of the study and therefore must be meaningful without reference to the body of the paper. It contains short sentences of introduction, methods, important findings, conclusion and implications. The abstract does not contain references, figures, tables, abbreviation, or acronym.

Key words: 5-8 words which have to be closely related to the research

INTRODUCTION
Introduction should provide sufficient background information of the research to evaluate the results of the research, but an extensive review of the literature is not needed and in general, no exceed one typed page. The introduction also gives the rationale for and objectives of the study that is being reported and their relationship to earlier work in the field

MATERIALS AND METHODS

In this section, author(s) should provide sufficient information to allow another qualified researcher to repeat the experiments that are described in the paper. If the method is categorised as new procedures or refers to published paper which was not readily available for most readers, details metodology should be provided. If any modification being made, then it should be described clearly. Previously published procedures should be cited. The authors should also mentioned scientific name, number of samples and the location of sampling. Sources (company, city, state, or country) of unusual chemicals, bacterial strains, reagents, and equipment must be clearly stated. For those who work with satelite images, please also provide collected ground check data.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Results and discussion should not be separated. State the obtained results based on the used methods. Avoid presentation of raw data as well as double presentation (e.g. table and graph). Every means value of the data should be given standard deviation. All data given in result should be presented in the tables or graph, although some results may be given solely in the text.

Discussion can be done by comparing results/data reported with other research results previously published. Focused on the interpretation of the results rather than a repetition of the results/data. Similarities, differences, and the uniqueness of the findings should be highlited.

CONCLUSION

Based on the findings and discussion, conslusion should be clearly stated. It should be written as paragraph, not as a list.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
In this section, author(s) should mention the grant source (Institution as well as year of the contract) and the person to whom the grant was given. Acknowledgement shoud also be given to those (individual/company/institution) who has contributed to the study especially in establishing research design, acquisition of data, supplying documents/photographs or analysis and interpretation of data, or who was involved in drafting the manuscript or revising it critically for important intellectual content. If the contribution of an individual quite significant, then he/she should be put as one of the author. Please refer to author(s) contribution form.

REFERENCES.
References only list the published or accepted material for publication. Accepted article(s) but not yet published should be sent as manuscript appendix. Refering website, personal communications, unpublished data should be incorporated in the text in parentheses. Personal communication need to be written with the initials surname of the source accompanied with the year of the statement, e.g., (Hoegh-Guldberg, 2011, personal communication). Authors should provide proof(s) of the communication such as email, etc.

References should be listed alphabetically by the last names of the authors. In the case of several authors have same name, references should be listed chronologically. Only the first author’s name and initials are inverted. Journal names are italicized and abbreviated according to those commonly used in international journal (see ISI journal abbreviation).

In the text it should be referred by the name(s) of the first author followed by the year of publication in parentheses, using the following format: (Hartati and Widianingsih, 2011) or Suryono and Riniatsih (2011). When there are more than two authors, use the first author’s name followed by et al. (written in italics). When several references are put in the same parentheses, it should be typed from the oldest year (Rochaddi and Zainuri, 2005; Pringgenies and Yusuf, 2008; Munasik and Trianto, 2010; Suwartimah et al., 2011). If the references have the same year, they should be listed alphabetically. If the references have the same author(s) and the same year, they should be listed by giving a lowercase a, b, c, etc. after the year of publication.

The reference list should follow these styles:

TABLES

Tables should be prepared in word (.doc file). The legend of the table should be brief with enough information needed. It should be self-explain so that its understandable without extensive reference to the text. Each column in a table must have a heading, and abbreviations, when necessary, should be defined in the legend. Use no vertical lines, but onle three horizontal line ie. under the title, under the box heads, and at the bottom. Give standard deviation to every mean value. Numbers and legend of the table should be written in 9 point Arial font. Data presented in tables must not be repeated in figures.

FIGURES

Maximum width of figures should not exceeded 100 mm. Figures or photographs should be in very good quality (at least 300 dpi) and ready to print. In the case of figures containing multiple components (for example Figure 1A, 1B, 1C, etc.) should be mounted together. Each number should be put on the upper-right corner of the page. Black and white photographs should be clear and contrast enough to provide neccessary information to the readers. Figures and photographs can be printed in color, but there is an additional cost to the author. Color quotes will be provided after acceptance of the manuscript. Numbers and legend are written in 9 point Arial font. Measurement scale should be given to photographs and arrows should be given to point certain objects. Images should be prepared in JPG format. Clear credit should be given to the photographer. Statistical graphs should give standard deviation for mean value. Data presented in figures must not be repeated in tables.
