AUTHOR GUIDELINES

Journal of Basic Medical Veterinary (JBMV) is a journal that contains topics across veterinary basic medical sciences by the Department of Basic Medical Veterinary of Veterinary Medicine Universitas Airlangga published periodically two times a year (June and December). JBMV received manuscripts in the form of original research articles, review articles, and case reports in Indonesian and English. Manuscripts received must be original, current, and have never been published or are planned to be published in other scientific journals.

Manuscripts must be submitted online through the Open Journal System (OJS) in Word format. The entire text is typed in Times New Roman 12pt double-spaced, using line numbers. The title is written with a Sentence case capitalization (bold, 14pt, centered). The full length of the manuscripts is a maximum of 14 pages of A4 paper with a top margin of 2.2 cm, other margins of 2 cm, and consecutive page numbers. Italicize only for species names or terms that have not been standardized as Indonesian. Define abbreviations upon the first appearance in the text. Do not use non-standard abbreviations unless they appear at least three times in the text. Keep abbreviations to a minimum. Avoid unnecessary duplication of text.

ORIGINAL ARTICLES

The first page contains full names of all authors without titles and initials (bold, centered), followed by the name and complete address of the respective institution(marked with numeric superscripts) and e-mail of corresponding authors (marked with *superscript), approval of the ethical commission, and acknowledgments if applicable.

The second page forward contains the type of article (ORIGINAL ARTICLE, REVIEW ARTICLE, or CASE REPORT), title, abstract, and keywords in English and Indonesian, followed by an introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, conclusions, and references

Title should be concise but informative, as far as possible, in no more than 12 words.

Abstract written in Indonesian and English, do not exceed 250 words, containing elements of background, material and methods, results, and conclusions.

Keywords maximum of 6 (six) words or phrases, written after the abstract in each language, alphabetically ordered. As far as possible, avoid using keywords from the title.

Introduction should be brief, containing elements of background, problems, objectives, and reference sources that support it.

Research materials (materials and equipment) do not need to be mentioned separately, but rather integrated into the method used, complete with the brand and catalog number if applicable. Do not include common supplies, such as test tubes, pipette tips, beakers, etc., or standard laboratory equipment. The name and address of the laboratories need not be mentioned.

Method must be concise but sufficiently detailed (with reference or modification), so other researchers can repeat the research.

Results are displayed in a concise but clear narrative with/without tables or figures.

Tables are made without vertical lines (use only lines at the top and bottom of the table as well as for separating heading from the main table), with the table title placed before the table, numbered in Arabic numerals (Table X), and have to be referred in the text. The description of the table is placed after the table; it must be concise but clear enough so that the table separately can be understood without referring to the text. The table, along with the title and description, are placed after the References.

Figures presented are only those that support the findings of the study and not statements of data from tables in the form of figures. When resulting data in the form of a figure is more informative, interesting, or significant, presentation of data in table form is not required. Figure title is placed after the figure, numbered in Arabic numerals (Figure Y), and has to be referred to in the text. The description of the figure is placed under the title of the figure; it must be concise but clear enough so that the figure separately can be understood without referring to the text. Image (in JPEG format) is sent in a separate file. The title and description of the figure are placed after the References.

Discussion contains the explanation of what is found related to the importance of your study and how it may be able to answer the research question, comparison of results (internally, between research data, and externally, compared with findings from other studies), and cause-effect analysis.

Conclusion does not only repeat the results of the study but summarises the findings into a narrative that impacts on the development of science and/or practitioners in the field of veterinary reproduction.

Approval of the Ethical Commission has to be stated (number and institution) if the manuscript is constructed based on research using live animals.

Acknowledgments are delivered to the research funders (state the name, number, and recipient name of the grant, if applicable) and to those who have helped carry out the research.

References are using Harvard Style and sorted alphabetically based on the author's last name. The titles of journals should be abbreviated according to the style used by each journal. We recommend 80% journal references, books and other sources 20% of the total references. Recent references are at least the last 5 years for journals and the last 10 years for books.

CASE REPORTS

JBMV received novel, important, and impactful case reports with topics included in the scope of this journal. Case reports should provide a significant learning point for other veterinarians or scientists. All reports are peer-reviewed by colleagues. The manuscript arrangement is the same as for the original articles, with Abstract (in English and Indonesian, maximum of 250 words), Introduction, and References as the core sections. The number of references is unlimited, with ten of them from the last ten years, and three of them from the last five years.
