Author Guidelines

Language and Format

All manuscripts should be written in standard English. Authors whose manuscripts may require language editing to eliminate grammatical or spelling errors are encouraged to use professional English language editing services before submission. Manuscripts must be written free from bias, stereotypes, slang, and cultural assumptions, using gender-neutral language and passive voice construction (e.g., "a study was conducted" rather than "we conducted a study").

PROCA UNJA accepts free-format submissions for initial manuscript review. During initial submission, strict formatting requirements are not enforced, but all manuscripts must contain the required sections: Author Information, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions, References, and Tables and Figures with captions (if applicable). Formatting requirements will vary based on submission type (original research paper, review article, short communication, case study, poster presentation, or technical report). When a manuscript reaches the revision stage, authors will be requested to format the manuscript according to the publication guidelines.

Structure of the Manuscript

The full-text manuscript must be double-spaced and formatted on A4 paper with a 2.54 cm (1 inch) margin on all sides. Please do not use page numbers, headers, or footers within the manuscript. We encourage authors to write full-text manuscripts in no more than 5,000 words, excluding the abstract, tables/figures, and references. All references should be formatted using Mendeley.  Please note that this template is only intended for full-text submission to the conference. The template used in the targeted journals for the final publication may differ from this.

The headings of the article sections must be as follows: introduction, methods, results, discussion, conclusions, acknowledgments (if any), conflict of interest, and references. The headings must be written in UPPERCASE format.  The first subheadings must be written in Title Case format (Georgia, Bold, 11 pt). The second subheadings must be written in sentence case format (Georgia, Italic, 11 pt).

Abstract

The abstract should be written using Georgia font, size 11 pt, not italicized, right justified, and one paragraph-unstructured with single spacing, completed with the English title written in bold at the beginning of the English abstract. It should be approximately 100–250 words under the following headings: Background, Objective, Methods, Results, and Conclusions.

Background: This section explains the problem that is the background. Objective: The objectives of this study were as follows. Methods: This section describes the research design, participants and how the population was selected, including the inclusion and exclusion criteria, instruments used, and data analysis.
