WRITING FORMAT

Dear Author,

We have two options for the publication of presented papers in the ISBEST 2024

1. ISBEST Proceeding (e-ISSN, non indexed)
2. EUDL Proceeding (Indexed on DOAJ, Scopus/WOS)
3. Our partnered journals

By default, all presented papers can be published in ISBEST Proceeding, with no additional cost. For the EUDL Proceeding, there will be additional screening to adhere and meet the standard for publication in EUDL Proceeding and there will be additional publishing fee of Rp2.500.000 / USD250. You are free to choose where you want to publish your paper on the Google Form when you register in the first place.

Please follow these simple instructions when preparing your final manuscript. This will not only help to publish your manuscript faster. These instructions are also essential to get your manuscripts indexed e.g. by Google Scholar or other abstracting and indexing services. Their own guidelines and our own experience have shown that following the rules described below are important.

GENERAL

• Use the template provided.
• Use a spell-checker and proofread your manuscript before submitting.
• Text similarity should be below 15%, the author may check similarity through a plagiarism checker.
• Abstract length is between 150–250 words.
• Paper length is between 2000–4000 words on A4 paper, including tables, figures, and a bibliography.
• Complete paper format: Title, Author, Institution, E-mail Address, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology (if any), Results & Discussion, Conclusion, Author’s Contribution, Acknowledgement (optional), Reference.

FRONTMATTER

• Title
• Check that the manuscript title is in upper lower case, following IEEE Style:

Capitalize the first letter of each word including nouns, verbs (including linking verbs), adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, and all words of four letters or more; other words including short (i.e., three letters or fewer) conjunctions, short prepositions such as “for”, “and”, “or” are lower case.

Correct example: Texturization of Monocrystalline Silicon Wafers

Wrong example: TEXTURIZATION OF MONOCRYSTALLINE SILICONE WAFERS

• Correct any spelling errors
• If there is a subtitle, place it below the title but in a smaller font size
• Authors and Affiliations
• Enter all authors’ first name and surname and follow the “first name last name” format without any punctuation
• If the author has no last name, then repeat the first name e.g. “Abyasa” => “Abyasa Abyasa”

Note: Unfortunately, Google Scholar does not properly index publications with authors without a last name.

• Mark the corresponding author by adding an asterisk (“*”) after their name
• Provide an email address for the corresponding author (mandatory)
• Provide the affiliations for all authors with department name, [division], institution/affiliated university, city, country

Example: Sport Cancer Laboratory EA4670, Luminy Campus, Aix-Marseille University, Marseille, France.

• Add the affiliation identifier (e.g. 1,2,3) in superscript to the matching author and affiliation in the correct order
• Abstract
• Provide a complete and correct abstract summarizing your work. Abstracts are mandatory. If you cite literature in the abstract, always refer to it explicitly and write out the whole citation (e.g. Surname, Initials (year), Article Title, Journal title/Book title, Volume Number (Issue Number), Page range)

• Separate the keywords with a comma (“,”)
• Please provide 4 to 6 keywords which can be used for indexing purposes.
