Author Guidelines
Manuscripts that could be considered to be accepted in Majalah Farmaseutik include research articles, surveys, literature closely related to the field of pharmacy, pharmaceutical technology, industrial pharmacy, pharmaceutical physics, biopharmaceutics, hospital pharmacy, clinical pharmacy, social pharmacy, engineering, and community pharmacy. Submit your manuscript through our Online Submission link present in the Sidebar or click here.
Manuscripts published in Pharmaseutik Magazine have been selected and approved by members of the Editorial Board. Whether your manuscript has been published elsewhere, state the name of the publisher and where it was published. Check using the Mendely reference application or other reference applications. The scientific truth of a manuscript submitted to Majalah Farmaseutik is entirely the responsibility of the author.
Write your manuscript in either Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) or English, and follow our systematics:
1. Title
Present title both in Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) and English. If manuscript is entirely written in English, title in Bahasa Indonesia is not mandatory.
2. Author names and affiliations
Where the family name may be ambiguous (e.g., a double name), please indicate this clearly. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
3. Corresponding author
Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that phone numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address. Contact details must be kept up to date by the corresponding author.
4. Abstract
A concise and factual abstract is required and must be written in English, the maximum length is 200 words for Research and Review articles, and 100 words for Short Communication. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the methods used, the principal results and major conclusions. Please try to keep each sentence as specific as possible, and avoid such general statements as "The management implications of the results are discussed". An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoideda, but if essential, they must be cited in full, without reference to the reference list. Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.
5. Keywords
Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 4 keywords. Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.
6. Introduction
Include background of the research, literature review, and research objectives
7. Methodology
Include materials, utilized instruments, and the workflow of the research
8. Result and Discussion
Results should be clear and concise. The discussion should explore the significance of the results of the work. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.
If appropriate, Results can be written in a separate section from Discussion. This especially if the Discussion is extensive and includes all the Results of the study.
9. Conclusion
The main conclusions of the study should be presented in a short Conclusions section which stands alone.
10. Acknowledgement (if any)
Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article before the references and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those individuals who provided help during the research (e.g., providing language help, writing assistance or proofreading the article, etc.).
11. References
Majalah Farmaseutik follows the APA Referencing Style commonly used in the sciences and social sciences. The APA Referencing Style for this type of citation includes the author names, publication year, article title, journal title, volume number, and page range. All citations in the text, figures, and tables must be included in the reference list and vice-versa. As much as 80% of the reference in the reference list should include articles that have been published within the last 10 (ten) years and must be original research articles. We require Authors to use reference managing tools such as Mendeley Reference Manager, etc., for accuracy, consistency, and efficiency for the research workflow.
The in-text citation rule is as follows: works by a single author, include surname followed by the year; works by two authors, include both surnames followed by the year; for works by more than two authors, include only the surname of the first author followed by et al., followed by the year. If you are quoting directly the page number should be included, if given. If you are paraphrasing, the page number is not required. If the author's name is not given, then use the first word or words of the title.
