GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: Manuscript sent has never been published and is not in the process of evaluation for other publications; it has been agreed upon by the joint authors, if any, that the same party is responsible for the text. The issuer will not be responsible for claims or requests for compensation for matters relating to the text.

SCOPE: This journal contains reviews of published research results related to theories, evaluations of other research results, and/or policy provisions, which are intended for policymakers as material for decision-making. The problem is discussed comprehensively, and the aim is to provide information about economics, business, and entrepreneurship.


ARTICLE PREPARATION

LANGUAGES: This journal contains articles in good English. Use terms to follow the Language Development Guidelines and Centers.

ARTICLE FORMS: Manuscripts are arranged in the following order: title of the paper, author's name and address, abstract in English (max. 160 words) and keywords, introduction, literature review, research methods, results and discussion, conclusions (and suggestions), and references.

ARTICLE TITLE: The title must be concise, factual, and informative, accurately reflecting the contents of the manuscript. The title cannot be more than 15 words. AUTHOR'S NAME: The author's name and the name of the institution (institution) where the author works, along with email and affiliation, are listed under the heading. If the author is more than one person, then writing their name follows the code of ethics of writing. If deemed necessary, the title of the manuscript can be accompanied by subtitles to reinforce the purpose of the writing.

*Changes to Authorship:

This policy concerns the addition, deletion, or rearrangement of author names in the authorship of accepted manuscripts:

Before the accepted manuscript is published in an online issue: Requests to add or remove an author, or to rearrange the author names, must be sent to the Journal Manager from the corresponding author of the accepted manuscript and must include: (a) the reason the name should be added or removed, or the author names rearranged and (b) written confirmation (e-mail) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of adding or removing authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed. The Journal Manager will forward requests that the corresponding author does not send to the corresponding author, who must follow the procedure described above. Note that:

(1) Journal Managers will inform the Journal Editors of any such requests and

(2) Publication of the accepted manuscript in an online issue is suspended until authorship has been agreed.

After the accepted manuscript is published in an online issue, any requests to add, delete, or rearrange author names in an article published online will follow the same policies noted above and result in a corrigendum.

ABSTRACT: Abstract is a summary of the most important elements of the text, written in one paragraph of no more than 160 words. The abstract must be able to describe the problem, the purpose of the research, the data and method, the results and discussion, and the conclusion concisely. Avoid abbreviations and references in the abstract.

KEYWORDS: A minimum of six to eight keywords consisting of one word or a combination of words that indicate the main subjects in the text.

INTRODUCTION: Contains background of the problem being solved, issues related to the problem being solved, and reviews research that has been done previously by other researchers relevant to the research conducted. In this section, the author explicitly explains the state of the art, gap analysis, and research purpose.

LITERATURE REVIEW: The literature review section is concise, and only theory is used as the basis for research.

METHODS: Include analysis, architecture, methods used to solve problems, and implementation.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The discussion is written to interpret and describe the significance of your findings in light of what was already known about the issues being investigated and to explain any new understanding or insights about the problem after you have considered the findings. It should connect to the introduction by way of the research questions or hypotheses you posed and the literature you reviewed, but it does not simply repeat or rearrange the introduction; this section should always explain how your study has moved the reader's understanding of the research problem forward from where you left them at the end of the introduction.

CONCLUSION: The conclusion is intended to answer the research problems or purposes. It helps the readers understand why your research should matter to them after they have finished reading the paper. It is not just a summary of the main topics covered or a re-statement of your research problem, but a synthesis of key points and, if applicable, where you recommend new areas for future research. The conclusion is written in paragraph form.

MEASUREMENT UNIT: Unit of measurement in text and graphics uses the metric system, for example in units of microns, mm, cm, km, for length; cm3, liters for volume; and g, kg, tons for weight. Use of pikul units, quintals, etc. to be avoided.

TABLE: Tables should be given a brief but clear title with sufficient notes, including the source, in such a way that each table is able to explain the information presented independently. Each table is numbered sequentially and reviewed in the text.

FIGURE AND GRAPHICS: Images and graphics are made with lines thick enough to allow shrinkage in the printing process. All symbols and abbreviations in pictures and graphics must be explained. As in the table, the light on the graph must be sufficient to be presented independently. Images and graphics must be reviewed in the text. Black and white or color photos should be of good quality.

REFERENCES:  REKAYASA: Jurnal Ilmiah Fakultas Teknik Universitas Lampung (RJITS) uses APA citation style.  

The minimum requirement of the number of references is between 30-60 references, and 40-80 % taken from reputable National/International journals. It is preferable to have an academic journal as the references published in the last 5-10 years except for main references of particular theories. It is suggested that reference software like Mendeley, Zotero, or EndNote be applied.
