Author Guidelines

Article Types

At present, Jurnal Wasian accepts only one type of manuscript: the Original Research Article. Other article types (such as review articles, short communications, or case reports) are not accepted at this time.

Original Research Article. An Original Research Article reports the complete results of original, previously unpublished research that makes a clear scientific contribution to forestry and related fields. It must follow the IMRaD structure (Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion). The main text should not exceed 8,000 words (excluding the abstract, references, tables, and figure captions). Detailed formatting instructions for each section are provided on the journal's Guidelines page.

Authors are invited to make a submission to this journal. All submissions will be assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of this journal. Those considered to be a good fit will be sent for peer review before determining whether they will be accepted or rejected.

Before making a submission, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included with the submission, such as photos, documents and datasets. All authors identified on the submission must consent to be identified as an author. Where appropriate, research should be approved by an appropriate ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the study's country.

An editor may desk reject a submission if it does not meet minimum standards of quality. Before submitting, please ensure that the study design and research argument are structured and articulated properly. The title should be concise and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper. When you're satisfied that your submission meets this standard, please follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.

Letter of Acceptance (LoA). Once a manuscript has been accepted, authors may request an official Letter of Acceptance from the editorial office at forestry.dep@unismuh.ac.id.

Before you submit
Please confirm that your manuscript complies with all of the following items. Some formatting items apply only to full-length manuscripts; short-form types (Perspectives, Notes from the Field and Book Reviews) follow the specific requirements in the Author Guidelines. Submissions that do not adhere to these guidelines may be returned to the author.

Original work. The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
File format. The submission file is in Microsoft Word document file format.
Reference links. Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
Author Guidelines. The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines, found in About the Journal.
Blind review. If submitting to a peer-reviewed section, the instructions in Ensuring a Blind Review have been followed.
Abstract, length & keywords. The abstract, word count and keywords meet the requirements for the chosen article type, as set out in the Author Guidelines. Book Reviews do not require an abstract.

For full-length manuscripts (Original Research and Review Articles) prepared with the standard template:

Template & page setup. The manuscript follows the article template (camera-ready) on A4 (210 × 297 mm), with a 4 cm left margin and 3 cm right, top and bottom margins.
Font & spacing. Verdana 12 pt, double-spaced, single-column (except the article title, author names and abstract).
Layout of text. Italics are used rather than underlining (except with URLs); all illustrations, figures and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, not at the end.
Tables & figures. Tables and figures are placed after the paragraph that first refers to them. Each figure has a caption below it and each table a caption above it, numbered in Arabic numerals with titles in Indonesian and English.
Figure quality. Figures are printed clearly (font size, resolution and line weight). Tables contain no vertical lines; horizontal lines are used only where essential.
