1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

A manuscript may report research results, a literature study, an idea, an application of theory, or a critical analysis of current technological developments within the scope of SATESI.
The manuscript must be original, must not have been published before, and must not be under consideration by another journal. Authors are fully responsible for the content of their manuscript.
The manuscript is written in good, standard, and consistent Indonesian or English.
The manuscript file is a Microsoft Word file (.docx) prepared with the official SATESI template. Section numbering is generated automatically by the template and should not be typed manually.
All authors have read and approved the manuscript and the order of author names. The criteria for authorship are explained on the Authorship & Contributorship page.
A manuscript that does not follow these guidelines may be returned to the authors for correction before it is processed further.

2. HOW TO SUBMIT A MANUSCRIPT

Manuscripts are submitted online through the SATESI OJS system. Authors need an account.

Create an account on the Register page, or log in on the Login page if you already have one.
Start a new submission from the Submissions page, then read and accept the submission checklist.
Upload the manuscript file (.docx), prepared with the official template, together with the completed Letter of Originality.
Complete the metadata: title, abstract, keywords, and the names, affiliations, and email addresses of all authors. Designate one corresponding author.
Submit the manuscript and follow its status through your account. All correspondence with the editors is conducted through the system.

SATESI uses double blind peer review. The names and affiliations of the authors are separated from the manuscript that is passed on to reviewers. Please make sure that the text of the manuscript, the acknowledgements, and the file properties do not contain information that could reveal the identity of the authors. A full explanation is available on the Peer Review Process page.

5. REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH PART

5.1 Title

The title must be clear, direct, brief, and informative, and must represent the content of the article. It has a maximum of 12 words, is written in Indonesian or English in Times New Roman 15 pt, is not bold, and only the first letter of each word is capitalised.

5.2 Authors and affiliations

Author names are written clearly, without academic degrees or job titles.
Affiliations are written in the order of study program, faculty, institution, city, and country. Use superscript numbers to link each author to the affiliation.
The email addresses of all authors are shown. If the corresponding author is not the first author, add the symbol * after the email address of the corresponding author.

5.3 Abstract and Abstrak

The manuscript includes abstracts in two languages: an Abstract in English and an Abstrak in Indonesian. Each abstract has 100 to 250 words and is written as one paragraph. Use the Abstract Fill style for the English abstract and the Abstrak Isi style for the Indonesian abstract. The abstract should state the background or problem, objective, method, main results, and conclusion, and should be understandable without reading the full manuscript.

5.4 Keywords and Kata Kunci

Provide 3 to 5 keywords separated by commas, in the same language as the abstract.

5.5 Introduction

The introduction answers four questions: the background, a brief review of related research, the reason this study was carried out, and the research question or objective. The state of the art, the research gap analysis, and the novelty must be visible in this section. Avoid general literature reviews and general definitions.

5.6 Research method

Describe the research method and techniques concisely but accurately, including details such as size, volume, replication, and working technique. A new method must be explained in detail so that other researchers can reproduce the study. An established method can be explained by citing the relevant references. Avoid writing well known scientific concepts and definitions.

5.7 Results and discussion

Results. Present the results in a logical order so that they form one story. This part contains facts or data and does not discuss the results. Tables and figures may be used, but the same data should not be described repeatedly in a figure, a table, and the text.
Discussion. The discussion explains the basis, relationships, and generalisations shown by the results, and answers the research question. Doubtful results must be presented objectively.
Subheadings. Use subheadings to make the explanation clearer. Each subsection contains more than one paragraph.

5.8 Conclusion

The conclusion must not contain references. It states the facts obtained and answers the problem or objective of the study, without turning into a discussion again. State the possible applications, implications, and appropriate speculation. If necessary, give suggestions for further research. Write the conclusion as sentences in paragraph form, not as a numbered list.

5.9 Acknowledgements

This part is optional. Name the funders and those who provided facilities or other help for the study.

6. EQUATIONS

Write equations clearly using the equation feature of Microsoft Word. Number every equation on the right side, for example (1), and refer to it in the text. Every variable in an equation must be explained in a sentence directly after the equation.

Example: “where F is the fundamental resonance frequency (MHz), ΔM is the total mass of absorbed gas molecules, and A is the electrode area (cm²).”

7. TABLES

Number tables in the order of presentation (Table 1, Table 2, and so on). Every table must be cited and referred to in the text.
Place the table title above the table, centered, without bold and without colour, for example “Table 1. Data categories”.
Use Times New Roman 9 pt for table titles and 8 pt for table content.
Do not use vertical lines in tables.
Prepare tables as editable text, not as pictures or screenshots.

8. FIGURES

Number figures in the order of presentation (Figure 1, Figure 2, and so on). Every figure must be cited and referred to in the text.
Place the figure title below the figure, centered, in Times New Roman 9 pt, for example “Figure 1. System context diagram”.
State the source of the figure on the line below the figure title, for example “Figure source: the authors” or the reference of the source.
Use clear figures that remain legible at print size. Avoid blurred images and labels that become unreadable when reduced.

9. CITATIONS AND REFERENCES

Style. Use the IEEE format. In text citations are numbers in square brackets, for example [1], [2,3], or [4–6], ordered by their first appearance in the manuscript.
Number and recency. Use at least 10 primary and recent references, published within the last 5 years.
Consistency. Everything in the reference list must be cited in the manuscript, and every citation must have an entry in the reference list.
DOI. Every reference includes a DOI link (reference linking) where available, preferably in the form https://doi.org/...
Font. The reference list is written in Times New Roman 8 pt.
Tools. Mendeley or Zotero is recommended. Authors remain responsible for checking the numbering and the completeness of the bibliographic data.
