    maximum 5 words with the first word is the most important word. Keyword 1, Keyword 2, Keyword 3, Keyword 4, Keyword 5.
  • Introduction
    Manuscripts written in English are typed with Microsoft Word for Windows on A4 size paper with right, left, top and bottom margins 30, 20, 30 and 25 mm respectively. The text is typed with the new romance font time, the distance between lines is 1 space, consisting of 2 columns, with a maximum of 8 spaces including images, tables and attachments.
    The introductory section contains a brief ex-planation of the background and importance of the research problem, the current scientific status which is accompanied by a review of the latest references (lit-erature of the last 5 years), hypothesis and research objectives accompanied by a novelty statement from this study. The reference numbers are written in se-quence in square brackets, for example [1], or [2-5], or [1, 3].
  • Theory (if any)
  • Experimental Method
    Materials and Instruments
    Includes an explanation of the material used in the study by stating the brand or origin of the material obtained, written in sentence form. For example, sodium chloride, pro analyst (Sigma-Aldrich), battery waste obtained from the Z plant.
    The equipment used in this paper mentioned the brand and type and its function in this experiment. For example Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) Perkin Elmer Jade for thermal analysis, JEOL JEM 1400 Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) for microstructure analysis.
    Method and Procedure
    Method and Procedure is in the form of sentences that describe the steps of the research conducted.
  • Results and Discussion
    Discussion is carried out by referring to the objectives/hypotheses presented in INTRODUCTION and comparing with the results that already exist in the reference. At the end of the discussion, further research can be submitted.
    Tables are numbered and must be referred sequentially according to the contents of the article. Each table must be accompanied by a title and if there is a measurement result, the unit must also be written in the title section. Tables are made without vertical dividing lines.
    All images given numbers must be referenced in articles in sequence.

Images in the form of bitmaps must have a resolution of more than 300 dpi, unless there is a resolution limit for scientific reasons. Labels/captions are given in separate parts of the image.
    Graphs are given names and units on the axis. For example, Power (watts), Flow (amperage), Magnetization (emu / g), Coercivity, H (T). The writing of chemical equations and or mathematical agreements is carried out by the Microsoft Equation program and is numbered with Arabic numbers according to the discussion flow. Abbreviations must be completed at the beginning of loading in the article.
  • Conclusion
    Conclusions are written in paragraph forms without numbering or indenting.

    Use mendeley for creating list of references.

4. Adequacy of data and discussion

Manuscripts must include data with provisions including:

  • The amount of data presented can be considered sufficient.
  • Data is presented in graph/table form and has been given sufficient information
  • Data presented has been accompanied by discussion

Procedure for Submission

Authors are requested to submit their papers electronically by using online submission via an Online Journal System (OJS). The authors should be registered as an author (click here to register) and login by using username and password (click here to login). The authors are requested to submit text, tables, and graphics in electronic form to this system. Authors who cannot provide an electronic version or have other circumstances that prevent online submissions must contact the Editor before submitting to discuss alternative options; email: jusami[at]brin.go.id. Publishers and Editors regret that they cannot consider submissions if the author does not follow this procedure.

The authors must refer to Jusami's papers for writing format and style (Please download Jusami's template and use as the template for initial manuscript submission). When submitting the manuscript, the author is required to attach a cover letter (already included in the template or can be downloaded separately here) at the step of uploading the supplementary files. The authors are also required to provide high-resolution images and graphics in the manuscript or can attach them as supplementary files. The author must understand OJS editorial and publishing process. The process can be seen in the figure below.

Type of Articles

Jurnal Sains Materi Indonesia (Indonesian Journal of Materials Science, JUSAMI) is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes significant and important research from all materials science and engineering areas. There are two types of articles, namely:

Research articles should be comprehensive reports of original research that have not been published. The topics discussed are research and development results in materials science and engineering, technological innovations, and applications in the industry based on materials such as polymers, ceramics, composites, metals, noble metals, metal alloys, oxides, or carbon, which are related to mechanical, magnetic, physical, optical, dielectric or electronic properties (superconductivity, semi-conductivity, superionic conductivity, etc.) with discussion including synthesis, modification and development of methods; testing and characterization; simulation and modeling; nuclear engineering and its applications in materials science, etc.

Review Articles is a general survey of the research topic and aims to provide a reliable and unbiased account of the current understanding of the topic. The article can also be called a literature review presented in the material science subject area. The article number is restricted in each publication.
