Author Guidelines

Introduction

Before submitting an article to Riset Geologi dan Pertambangan, please keep in mind that the manuscript has not been published previously and is not considered for publication elsewhere. If an article is accepted for publication in our journal, it will not be published elsewhere. The submitted article should be original and contain previously unpublished data, interpretations, or syntheses. However, the invited review article will also be considered.

To ensure a fast and effective review process, it is best to suggest experts who are active in your specific field, have published recently (within the last 3 years), and are independent of your institution and co-authors. Provide three or four names, complete with their emails, in the comment for the editor column during submissions.

Preparation

The authors are responsible for the content and format of the manuscript. To ensure the publication process becomes much simpler and faster, we ask authors to format the manuscript following the template.

Download the manuscript template here. Manuscripts should be between 10-15 pages (including references, tables, and figures). The file should be saved in the native format of the word processor used. 

--------------------------------------------------

Article structure

 

• Title Concise and informative. Avoid abbreviations and formulas where possible.

• Author names and affiliations. Please clearly indicate the given name(s) and family name(s) of each author. Present the authors' affiliation addresses 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, the e-mail address of each author.

• Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. 

• Present/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address' (or 'Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.

Abstract 
A concise and factual abstract is required (maximum 250 words). The abstract should briefly state the purpose of the research, the principal results, and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided. Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself if essential.

Introduction
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.

Methods

Results and Discussion
Discussions should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.

Conclusions

Acknowledgements 
List here those individuals who provided help during the research (e.g., providing language help, writing assistance or proofreading the article, etc.). Acknowledge comments and suggestions from reviewers and editor.

References

----------------------------------------------

Citation in text 
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list but may be mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the reference list, they should follow the standard reference style of the journal and should include a substitution of the publication date with either 'Unpublished results' or 'Personal communication.' Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication.

Web references 
As a minimum, the full URL should be given and the date when the reference was last accessed. Any further information, if known (DOI, author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading if desired or included in the reference list.

Reference management software

There are several Citation Style Language, such as Mendeley (http://www.mendeley.com/features/reference-manager), EndNote (http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp) and Reference Manager (http://refman.com/support/rmstyles.asp). Using plug-ins to word processing packages available from the above sites, authors only need to select the appropriate journal template when preparing their articles. The list of references and citations to these will be formatted according to the journal style as described in this Guide.

For more information about the Citation Style Language, visit http://citationstyles.org.

Reference style

Riset Geologi dan Pertambangan follows Earth and Planetary Science Letters (Elsevier) guidelines for its citation and reference style. The style is available in any reference management software.

Text: All citations in the text should refer to:

  1. Single author: the author's name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the year of publication;
