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.

• 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 must be written in bold, in Title Case, left aligned, and without underlining.
• Subheadings must be written in bold, in sentence case, left aligned, and use second-level numbering.
• Heading Level 2 and Heading Level 3 must be written in bold, 10 pt font, left aligned, and use sequential numbering (e.g., 1.1 for Level 2 and 1.1.1 for Level 3)
• For Level 1 bullet points and numbered lists, use an indentation of 0.5 cm from the left margin and −0.11 cm from the right margin. For Level 2 bullet points and numbered lists, use an indentation of 1.25 cm from the left margin and −0.11 cm from the right margin.
• Spacing between sections in the article. Section 1 and subsection 1.1 should not have spacing. However, spacing should be provided between subsection 1.1 and subsection 1.2.

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

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.

 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.

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.

Table and Figures

Tables and figures must be presented clearly and placed in the manuscript immediately after they are first mentioned in the text. Each table and figure must be properly numbered and accompanied by a caption. Figure captions must be placed below the figure, while table captions must be placed above the table. Captions must be written in sentence case, with only the first letter of the first word capitalized (except for proper nouns), and abbreviations are not permitted in captions. All visual elements must be clear, readable, and suitable for high-quality printing.

• Figures and tables must be numbered sequentially using Arabic numerals (e.g., Figure 1, Table 1).
• All images must have adequate resolution, appropriate font size, and sufficient line thickness to ensure clarity.
• Figures, tables, diagrams, and schemes must fit within the column width; if they exceed the column width, they must be centered on the page.
• Tables must not contain vertical lines; horizontal lines may be used sparingly and only when necessary.
• Images may be uploaded as separate files during submission.
• The maximum combined number of tables and figures is 10. Additional materials must be submitted as supplementary files.

Equations

All equations must be written using the Equation Editor feature in Microsoft Word or OpenOffice to ensure consistency, clarity, and proper formatting throughout the manuscript. Equations should not be inserted as images or manually formatted text. Each equation must be clearly presented, properly aligned, and numbered sequentially using Arabic numerals in parentheses, placed at the right margin.

Equations must be referenced in the text using their corresponding numbers (e.g., Equation (1)). Symbols and variables used in the equations must be clearly defined in the text immediately before or after the equation appears. Mathematical notation should be consistent throughout the manuscript, and appropriate spacing must be applied to ensure readability.

All variables and symbols used in an equation must be clearly described in the text following the equation. The description should be written in sentence form explaining the meaning of each term, rather than presented as a list using the equals sign (=).

Example:

In Eq. (2), BF represents the burning frequency measured on a daily basis, while r refers to the distance or radius associated with the observation area. The value 90 indicates the maximum number of days used as the reference for burning frequency. If respondents reported no burning activity in a specific area, the value of BF was considered to be 90.

Not recommended format:

BF = burning frequency

r = radius

90 = maximum burning day
