Author Guidelines

Media Kedokteran Hewan (MKH) is a journal that contains scientific articles on veterinary medicine and animal husbandry biotechnology published by Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Airlangga University 3 times per year on January, May and September. Media Kedokteran Hewan (MKH) 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 being 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 Book Antiqua 11pt double spaced. The title is written with a Title case (bold, 14pt, align center). The full length of the manuscripts is a maximum of 12 pages of HVS paper. Italicize only for species names or terms that have not been standardized as Indonesian. Define abbreviations upon 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. The manuscripts are arranged according to Media Kedokteran Hewan (MKH) format in the following order:

1. Original Research

The first page contains titles in English, followed by 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).

The second page forward contain ABSTRACT in English, followed by INTRODUCTION, MATERIALS AND METHODS, RESULTS, DISCUSSION, CONCLUSIONS, APPROVAL OF ETHICAL COMMISSION, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and REFERENCES.

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

Abstract written in English, do not exceed 200 words, containing elements of background, material and methods, results and conclusions.

Keywords maximum of 5 (five) words or phrases, written after the abstract in each languages, 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.

Research materials (materials and equipment) do not need to be mentioned separately, but rather integrated in 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.

Method must be concise but sufficiently detailed (with reference or modification) so research can be repeated by other researchers.

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 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(s) are placed on separate pages after the References.

Figures presented are only those that support the findings of the study, and not restatement of data from tables in the form of figures. When resulted data in the form of 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 have to be referred 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 separate file. The figure(s) are placed on separate pages after the References.

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

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

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