Manuscript structure
The submitted article shoould follows the manuscript structures in order as follows:
1. Title
The title is an opportunity to attract the reader’s attention. Remember that readers are the potential authors who will cite your article. Identify the main issue of the paper. Begin with the subject of the paper. The title should be accurate, unambiguous, specific and informative. It should be written clearly and concisely describing the contents of the research. Avoid abbreviations and formula where possible.
2. Author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s)
A manuscript has the main author and co-authors with a full name of the author and co-authors (no abbreviation), includes an address (es) and email addresses clearly. Each address should be preceded by a numerical superscript corresponding to the same superscript after the name of the author concerned. Give an asterisk (*) in the contact person for correspondence.
3. Abstract
A concise and factual abstract is required. Each paper should be provided with an abstract of about 150-250 words. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. The abstract must be integrated and independent which is consist of introduction and purpose, methods, results, conclusion, and suggestion. However, the abstract should be written as a single paragraph without these headers. For this reason, References should be avoided. Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself. The abstract must be written using 150 until 250 words which have no reference and accompanied keywords.

Therefore the keywords should represent the content and highlight of your article. Use only those abbreviations that are firmly established in the field. e.g. DNA.
5. Introduction
The Introduction section should explain the background to the study, the aims, a summary of the existing literature, the reason why the study was necessary, and the novelty.
6. Experimental methods
The experimental methods consists of materials and methods. This section should have the meaning of the state of the art of science and technology, the sophistication of viewpoints and approaches, the potential acquisition of novelties, new to science, and completeness of work, not only repeating previous research of the same type, not mutating methods and objects.
The methods section should include:
a. Specify the time and place of study in the first section
b. The aim, design, and setting of the study
c. The characteristics of participants or description of material
d. A clear description of all processes and methodologies employed. Generic names should generally be used. When proprietary brands are used in research, include the brand names in parentheses
e. The type of statistical analysis used, including a power calculation if appropriate
f. Studies involving human participants, data or tissue or animals must include statement of ethics approval and consent
Review papers should be critical analysis and integration of recent advances in an important area of research in chemical sciences which can stimulate further research, provide a new approach or new knowledge. Review papers should be high quality and written by recognized experts. Material and methods should give reproducible experiment to the readers.
7. Results and Discussion
Result and discussion must be written in the same part. They should be presented continuously start from the main result to the supporting results and equipped with a discussion. This section must show the acuity of the analysis and synthesis carried out critically including a description of the findings of the work that discusses incisive, its relation to previous concepts or theories, compares them critically with the work of others, and corroborates or corrects to the previous findings. Unit of measurement used should follow the prevailing international system. All figures and tables should be active and editable by an editor. The discussion should explore the significance of the results of the work. Please highlight differences between your results or findings and the previous publications by other researchers.
8. Conclusion
Conclusions should only answer the objectives of the research. The conclusion should be explained clearly. Withdrawal of conclusions based on new findings, which are stated accurately and deeply. New findings can be in the form of theories, postulates, formulas, rules, methods, models, and prototypes. Conclusions must be supported by sufficient research data.
Suggestion placed after conclusion contains a recommendation on the research done or an input that can be used directly by the consumer. Conclusions and suggestions should be written less than 100 words and should be written in a paragraph.
9. ReferencesThe ratio of primary references to other references must be >80% in order to improve the quality of thoughts and ideas that were used as a writing framework. The primary reference is the result of direct research, including articles in scientific journals, proceedings, dissertations, theses, monographs, books and others. Reference must be up to date with the proportion >80% is the last 10 years. Classical works can be referred but not to compare the discussion or not to prove originality. Avoid too much reference to self-citation. The citation and references should follow Harvard style proposed here.

- Two authors: both authors‟ names and the year of publication;
- Three or more authors: first author’s name followed by ‘et al.’ and the year of publication.
Examples: “as demonstrated (Allan and Jones, 1999). Kramer et al. (2010) have recently shown ....”
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). References must use a reference management tool such as Mendeley/Zotero/Endnote following Harvard style. References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. The references should follow Harvard style. The examples of references writing are:
