Writing systematics are as follows:

Title

Title titles are made short, dense, and informative. The title should display the most important result of the research.

Abstract

See the abstract section above.

Introduction

Provide an overview of the background of the study, identification of problems, and statements of purpose and hypotheses that will be tested in this study. The introduction should include data related to problems that develop relatives from similar studies.

Method

The researcher's method is expected to provide a detailed description of:

1. Research designs, as well as the population under investigation or the experimental model used.
2. Operational definitions of external variables (results) and instruments used.
3. Methods for estimation and measurement of exposure variables / independent / exposure
4. The classification and categorization of variables from the value class of the variable used.
5. Sensitivity analysis, if any.
6. All stages of statistical analysis and software used.

Result

1. Explanation results are made clear and concise without providing interpretation and extrapolation of the results being reported.
2. Researchers don’t need to provide explanations on the methods at the beginning of the results.
3. The entire results of the analysis and experiments were reported in the manuscript including the results of the analysis of Sensitivity and secondary analysis.
4. Reported results are not limited to significant statistic-only results or results selected to support research hypotheses.
5. It is worth mentioning clearly the number of observations in each analysis, as well as information on missing data, how to handle and analysis.

Discussion

1. Researchers are expected to provide reviews and other information needed to put the research findings into the context of the population being observed.
2. Researchers used the complete and balanced sources of the library including studies inconsistent with hypotheses, results and conclusions from current studies.
3. Researchers convey honestly related to the weakness of the research.
4. No need to re-mention the methods or results at the beginning of the discussion

• Animal experiments

In a manuscript describing experiments in live animals, including (1) A complete description of any anaesthesia and surgical procedures used, and (2) evidence that all measures may be taken to avoid animal suffering at any stage of the experiment. In experiments involving the use of muscle pelgold, explain the precautions performed to ensure adequate anaesthesia.
