Author Guidelines
1 Journal Scope
Journal of Applied and Engineering Chemistry (JAEC) is an international journal covering all aspects of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and Applied Chemistry. The journal publishes original research papers, short communications and review articles. The paper published in this journal implies that the work described has not been, and will not be published elsewhere. The submitted manuscripts are classified into three categories: original paper which presents original works in detail, notes and/or short communications which present novel and/or valuable information and reviews which present a general survey of specialized subject in chemistry and chemical engineering.
2 Briefs overview for manuscript preparation
Â
All manuscripts should be written in English or Indonesian except the abstract must be written in English. It suggested to be typed with full justification; singled spaced for abstract, references, figure captions, and tables; double spaced for text, in Arial 11, using no more than 20 pages for original papers, 10 pages for notes and/or short communication and 50 pages for reviews. Left and right margins should be 3.0 cm length.
The title should be typed in Arial 12 bold. The names of the authors and addresses at which the research was done, including postal code, should appear under the title. Use Arabic number typed as superscript to link authors to their addresses and asterisk to indicate the author(s) to whom correspondence should be addressed. Main headings (Abstract, Introduction, Experimental Method, Results and Discussion, Conclusions) are typed in bold and capital italics. Type all headings aligned left and lower case except the first letter of the first word or any proper name.
The abstract should contain no more than 200 words followed by 3-5 keywords. All references should be prepared according to the following style. Article in Journal: Author 1; Author 2; Author 3; etc., Journal Abbreviation, Year, Volume (Number), Inclusive Pagination Barrer. Chapter in a Book: Author 1; Author 2; Author 3; etc., Chapter Title. In Book Title, Edition Number; Editor 1, Editor 2, etc., Eds.; Series Information (if any); Publisher: Place of Publication, Year; Volume Number, Pagination. Whole Book: Author 1; Author 2; Author 3; etc., Book Title; Series Information (if any); Publisher: Place of Publication, Year; Volume Number, Pagination. Text references to the literature must be numbers in square brackets. Journals titles should be abbreviated according to the Chemical Abstract Service Source Index (CASSI).
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Article structure
3.1 Subdivision numbered sections
Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering). Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to 'the text'. Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its own separate line.
3.1 Essential title page information
• Title. Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formula where possible.
• Author names and affiliations. Where the family name may be ambiguous (e.g., a double name), please indicate this clearly. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) 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, including the country name and, if available, 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. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address. Contact details must be kept up to date by the corresponding author.
• 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.
3.2 Abstract
An abstract of at most 250 words is required. The abstract should state briefly the purpose and method of the research, the principal results, and major conclusions. Immediately after the abstract, provide of 3-5 keywords, using American spelling and avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.
3.3 Introduction
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
3.4 Material and methods
Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described.
3.5 Results and discussion
Results should be clear and concise. This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.
3.6 Conclusions
The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusions section, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section.
3.7 Acknowledgements
Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article before the references and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those individuals who provided help during the research.

3.8 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 can be included in the reference list.
Reference style
• Text: Indicate references by number(s) in square brackets in line with the text. The actual authors can be referred to, but the reference number(s) must always be given. Example: "..... as demonstrated [3,6]. Barnaby and Jones [8] obtained a different result ...."
• List: Number the references (numbers in square brackets) in the list in the order in which they appear in the text. Examples:
Reference to a journal publication:
- Caruso, R. A.; Susha, A.; Caruso, F., Chem. Mater., 2001, 13, 400–409.
Reference to a chapter in an edited book:
- Almlof, J.; Gropen, O., Relativistic Effects in Chemistry. In Reviews in Computational Chemistry; Lipkowitz, K. B., Boyd, D. B., Eds.; VCH: New York, 1996; Vol. 8, pp 206–210.
Reference to a book:
- Le Couteur, P.; Burreson, J., Napoleon’s Buttons: How 17 Molecules Changed History; Jeremy P. Tarcher/Putnam: New York, 2003; pp 32–47.
