Abstract (12 pt bold for the title; 10 pt regular for the abstract content)

A concise and factual abstract is required. It should present the problem statement, method, key findings, and a brief conclusion in a single paragraph and one‑column format. References should be avoided; however, if essential, cite the author(s) and year(s). Non‑standard or uncommon abbreviations should also be avoided unless necessary, in which case they must be defined at first mention. The abstract should be written in 10‑pt font and contain 150–200 words. A 1.15 line spacing must be used.

Keywords: (10 pt bold for the title; 10 pt regular for the keyword content)

Immediately after the abstract, list up to six specific keywords separated by semicolons (;), using American English and avoiding common terms, plural words, or multi‑word phrases. Only abbreviations that are widely accepted in the field should be used. These keywords are used to categorize and index the article. (e.g., Correlation; meteorological factors; PM2.5; precursor NOx).

General Rules (Title 12 pt bold)

Jurnal Presipitasi publishes original research, case studies, and review articles in the environmental field. Submitted manuscripts must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration elsewhere.

Original research articles present full reports of research data and typically include the Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion sections. Depending on journal conventions, they may be labeled as Original Research Article.

Case study articles describe specific instances of noteworthy phenomena. Their purpose is to inform researchers about the possibility or emergence of particular events or conditions. Although commonly used in medicine, case studies are also relevant in environmental research when documenting unique or emerging issues.

Review articles provide comprehensive summaries of research on a specific topic and offer perspectives on the current state of the field and future directions. They are often written by experts invited by the editorial team. Reviews are widely read and frequently cited, typically referencing a substantial number of primary research articles.

All manuscripts submitted to Jurnal Presipitasi are subject to a management/processing fee. Articles undergo a peer‑review process, and publication decisions are made by the Editor-in-Chief during the Editor’s Board Session, based on recommendations from peer reviewers.

The article title must be brief, clear, and specific, indicating the exact problem addressed without allowing multiple interpretations. It should be written entirely in capital letters and formatted symmetrically. Titles must not contain uncommon or non‑standard abbreviations. Begin with the main idea of the article, followed by any necessary clarification.

The title, author’s name (without academic degrees), and author’s affiliation must be left‑aligned on the first page. The spacing between the title and the author’s name is one line, and the spacing between the author’s affiliation and the abstract is also one line. Keywords must appear below the abstract in each language version, arranged in alphabetical order, separated by semicolons, and limited to a maximum of six specific terms.

The Corresponding Author must be marked with an asterisk (*), as shown in the example. At the bottom of the left column on the first page (below the abstract), the Corresponding Author must provide their email address. All communication regarding revisions and final decisions will be sent exclusively to this email.

If there is more than one author, list the names separated by commas and use superscript numbers (1, 2, etc.) to indicate their respective affiliations. If an author’s name consists of two words, the first name must not be abbreviated. If an author has only one name, write it exactly as it appears; however, in the online submission system, the metadata must contain the name written twice (repeated) to meet system requirements (Camdali & Tunc, 2006; Fridman, 2008).

Manuscripts that comply with the writing instructions for Jurnal Presipitasi (in MS Word format and following the article template) must be submitted online through the Online Submission System on the Jurnal Presipitasi E‑Journal portal

(http://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/presipitasi/about/submissions), after registering as an Author in the Register section. If you experience difficulties during submission, please contact presipitasi@live.undip.ac.id.

Section headings in the main content (Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion, and Conclusions) must be numbered sequentially using Arabic numerals starting from 1. Headings should be written in bold, in title case, left‑aligned, and without underlining. Sub‑headings should be written in bold, in sentence case, left‑aligned, and use second‑level numbering.

Manuscripts must be written in English and may not exceed 15 pages, including figures, tables, and references. Manuscripts must follow the article template and be prepared in camera‑ready format. Articles must use A4 paper size (210 × 297 mm) with 25.4 mm margins on all sides. The manuscript must be written in Constantia, 10‑pt font (except for the article title, author’s name, section headings, and abstract title), with 1.15 line spacing, in a one‑column format (except for the title, author information, and abstract). The spacing between columns is 10 mm.

The manuscript word count must be 4,500–8,000 words, including references. A minimum of 20 references is required. New paragraphs must begin 12.5 mm from the left margin, with no extra spacing between paragraphs. All numbers must be written in Arabic numerals, except when they appear at the beginning of a sentence.

Tables and figures must appear in the text after they are first mentioned. Each figure must have a Figure Caption placed below it and numbered using Arabic numerals. Each table must have a Table Caption placed above it and numbered similarly. All images must be of sufficient quality to print clearly (appropriate font size, resolution, and line thickness). Figures, tables, diagrams, and schemes should be placed within the column width or, if too large, centered on the page. Tables must not contain vertical lines; horizontal lines may be used sparingly.

Article Structure

1. Introduction: 

   The Introduction must include, in order: a general background, a review of previous literature (state of the art) as the basis for establishing the article’s scientific contribution, a statement of scientific novelty, and the research problem or hypothesis. The purpose of the article must be stated at the end of the Introduction. In scientific articles, literature should not be reviewed as in a research report; instead, it should be presented concisely to demonstrate the novelty of the work.

2. Methods: 

   The Methods section describes the procedures used to conduct the research, including analytical methods. Only the main materials should be listed, along with their brand and purity (e.g., H₂SO₄ (Merck, 99%)). Only main equipment should be listed, along with the brand (e.g., electric furnace (Thermo Fisher); supporting equipment does not need to be specified. The main equipment setup should be presented with figure captions. Figure captions are part of the figure title and should not appear inside the image. This section must clearly explain the methods used to complete the research. SI units must be used throughout; commas (,) must be replaced with dots (.) for decimal notation. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units for reference.

3. Result and Discussion
   Heading level 2
   Heading level 3
   The Results and Discussion section contains the research findings and scientific discussion. Write scientific findings obtained from the results of research that has been conducted but must be supported by adequate data. The scientific findings referred to here are not research data obtained. These scientific findings must be explained scientifically, including the following:

1. What scientific findings were obtained? 
• ................................................................ 
• …………………………………………………………..
2. Why does that happen?
3. Why are the variable trends like that?
   All of these questions must be explained scientifically, not only descriptively, if necessary, supported by adequate basic scientific phenomena. In addition, it should be explained also the comparison with the results of other researchers who are almost the same topic. The results and findings must answer the research hypotheses in the introduction. Each equation is written in the middle of the column and given a number in brackets placed at the end of the right margin. Equations must be written using the Equation Editor in MS Word or Open Office (Primack, 1983). For bullet and numbered list level 1, use identation with left 0.5 cm and right -0.11 cm. Bullet and numbered level 2 are indented with left 1.25 cm and right -0.11 cm. Level 1 heading should be typed in bold font with a font size of 12 pt. While on healing level 2, the text should be typed in bold font with a font size of 10 pt. At level 3, headings should be typed in italics and font size of 10 pt.

4. Conclusions
   The conclusions describe the answers to the hypotheses and/or research objectives, or scientific findings obtained. The conclusion does not repeat the results and discussion but rather summarizes the findings as expected in the objectives or hypotheses. If necessary, at the end of the conclusion, things that will be done related to further ideas from the research can also be written.
   
   Acknowledgement
   Acknowledgments are especially addressed to the research funders or donors. Acknowledgments can also be conveyed to those who helped carry out the research. Please write the acknowledgement without a number.

   CRedit Author Statement
   Authors must include a responsibility statement in their manuscripts, even for review-type articles, detailing each contributor's role. The required level of detail may differ: in some disciplines, contributions are distinct and easily outlined, while in others, collaboration occurs across all stages of the process.
   
   References
   Every time you take data or cite statements from other libraries, the writer is obliged to write the source of the reference. All that is referred to in the text must be registered in the Bibliography section and vice versa, everything written in the Bibliography must be referred to in the text (Wang et al., 2011). All references referred to in the article text must be registered in the bibliography section. The bibliography must contain references from primary sources (scientific journals and a minimum of 80% of the total bibliography) published in the last 10 (ten) years. Each article contains at least 10 (ten) references. Bibliographies should be written using reference management applications such as Mendeley, End Note, or Zotero. However, the author must keep checking the bibliography generated independently because the reference management application often has formatting errors. The writing format used in Jurnal Presipitasi is in accordance with the Elsevier Harvard 2 Citation Style format. Writing a bibliography using a reference management application needs to be checked one by one to ensure quality sentences.
   
   Reference style
   All citations in the text should refer to:

• Single author: the author's name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the year of publication;
• Two authors: both authors' names and the year of publication
• Ten or more authors: first author's name followed by 'et al.' and the year of publication.
• Citations may be made directly (or parenthetically). Groups of references can be listed either first alphabetically, chronologically, or vice versa. Examples: 'as demonstrated (Allan, 2000a, 2000b, 1999; Allan and Jones, 1999)…. Or, as demonstrated (Jones, 1999; Allan, 2000)… Kramer et al. (2010) have recently shown …
• List: References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by
• the letters 'a', 'b', 'c', etc., placed after the year of publication.
