Author Guidelines

These guidelines outline the precise requirements for preparing manuscripts for submission to the Jurnal Suaka Insan Mengabdi (JSIM). Authors must read and adhere to these instructions closely to facilitate a smooth editorial and review process.

 

General Formatting & Submission

Manuscripts submitted to JSIM must be prepared using the provided template, and uploaded as Microsoft Word (.docx) files. The main body of the manuscript must be written in proper Bahasa Indonesia. The general text throughout the main body sections should use Times New Roman, 12pt font with 1.15 line spacing. Primary section headings (PENDAHULUAN, METODE PELAKSANAAN, HASIL DAN PEMBAHASAN, KESIMPULAN) must be formatted in Times New Roman, 12pt, Bold, and UPPERCASE.

 

Title, Author Information, and Affiliations

The manuscript should begin with the Indonesian title, formatted in Times New Roman 14pt, bold, centered, single-spaced, and not exceeding 16 words. Directly below this, the English title must be written in Times New Roman 12pt, italic, centered, single-spaced, and also not exceeding 16 words. The full names of all authors (without academic titles) should follow the English title, using Times New Roman 10pt, bold, and single spacing, with superscript numbers linking each author to their respective affiliation. Finally, list the affiliations, including department, faculty, institution, city, and country, formatted in Times New Roman 8pt with single spacing.

The manuscript must include two abstracts, neither of which may contain citations or acronyms. The English abstract must be written under the heading ABSTRACT (TNR, 10pt, Bold, Uppercase) as a single paragraph formatted in Times New Roman 9pt, italic, justified, single-spaced, and maximum 200 words. It should concisely state the problem, the purpose of the activity/service, the methods used, the principal findings, and the main conclusions.

Main Body Structure

PENDAHULUAN (Introduction)

The Introduction section must establish the context and background by focusing on the condition of the partner or target group. This includes detailing relevant health-related regional issues or potential, supported by concrete data such as pre-test results or health incidence rates. Authors must provide a clear profile and analysis of the target group's specific problems, justifying the priority of these issues using relevant theories from books and findings from previous research published in journal articles. Finally, this section must clearly articulate the proposed solution offered to the partner or group and state the specific, measurable objectives of the activity.

METODE PELAKSANAAN (Implementation Method)

This section must detail the specific methods applied during the community service implementation. Authors are required to justify the choice of these methods by referencing theoretical underpinnings or previous studies. Furthermore, the methodology must clearly outline the distinct, step-by-step stages involved in the execution of the activity.

HASIL DAN PEMBAHASAN (Results and Discussion)

The Results and Discussion section first presents the data obtained from the activity, which may include quantitative data from questionnaires, qualitative data from observations, or descriptions of observed changes. This data may be presented using text, tables, diagrams, charts, or photographs. Following the presentation of results, the discussion must analyze the findings in the context of addressing the identified problems. Authors must relate their results back to relevant theories or previous academic research and critically discuss the extent to which the activity's initial objectives were met.

KESIMPULAN (Conclusion)

The Conclusion section must provide a concise summary of the activity and its key outcomes, directly reflecting on the achievement of the objectives stated in the introduction. In addition, authors should provide practical suggestions or recommendations for the future sustainability of the program or related future actions.

Acknowledgment (Optional)

If applicable, authors may include an Acknowledgment section to recognize significant contributions from individuals or organizations not listed as authors, such as funding agencies, institutions providing facilities, or individuals offering specific support. This section must clearly state who provided support and the specific nature of their contribution.

Daftar Pustaka (References)

The reference list must be placed under the heading Daftar Pustaka (Times New Roman, 12pt, Bold, Capitalize Each Word) and formatted using Times New Roman 11pt font with 1.15 line spacing. JSIM strictly requires all citations and references to adhere to the APA (American Psychological Association) Style, 6th Edition. Every source cited in the text must appear in the reference list, and every entry in the reference list must be cited in the text. To ensure accuracy and formatting compliance, the use of reference management software (such as Mendeley, Zotero, or the built-in Microsoft Word tool) is mandatory.
