Journal Medical Research and Helath Innovation developed with an online management system via OJS (Open Journal System). The article registration and submission processes are carried out online.

Articles may be written in either English or Indonesian, using proper and grammatically correct language. Submissions may present original research findings, theoretical studies (state of the art), or analyses and problem-solving approaches relevant to various aspects of medical research and health innovation.

Authors must ensure that the submitted article has never been published in any other publication media and is not being submitted simultaneously to another journal. Authors must also ensure that their work is free from plagiarism, falsification, and fabrication. To prevent such misconduct, the editorial team conducts a similarity check for every submitted manuscript.

Writing Requirements

Articles must be written on A4-sized paper (210 x 297 mm). The article should follow this structure: Introduction, Methodology, Discussion, Conclusion, and References. The submitted article should not include a foreword or a table of contents.

Manuscript Title

The manuscript title should reflect the core content of the paper. It should emphasize the phenomenon (object) being studied rather than the method or project activity. The title must be informative, specific, effective, and contain a maximum of 12 (twelve) words.

The author's full name should be written below the title without academic degrees, followed by the author's email address. The institutional affiliation should be provided as a footnote.

Abstract

The abstract is a concise and brief summary of the research. It should not contain citations, mathematical formulas, or uncommon abbreviations. Abstracts must be written in both Indonesian and English. They should include the background, objectives, methods, results, and conclusions of the research, written in a single paragraph of approximately 250 words each in Indonesian and English. A good abstract presents the novelty of the paper, such as a new method, a better method, a new problem, or new knowledge.

Keywords

At the end of the abstract, three to five keywords should be listed. Each keyword should not exceed five words. Keywords should specifically reflect the content of the article and are useful for helping users find the article during searches.

Introduction

The introduction focuses on the urgency of the problem being addressed. The first paragraph should explain the problem in general terms and why it needs to be resolved, supported by relevant sources or citations. The second paragraph should discuss the problem more specifically, identifying the research object and providing evidence that the issue truly exists.

Authors may also present previous research that attempted to solve the problem, citing the sources and methods used along with the results. The introduction should clearly state the problem to be addressed and solved. A well-defined problem formulation will guide the following sections and avoid off-topic discussion.

Methodology

This section explains the method used to solve the problem.

Discussion

This section allows the author to elaborate on the research findings and discuss them in depth.

Conclusion

The conclusion provides answers to the problem stated in the introduction. It is not a summary of the article. The conclusion should not include formulas, images, or tables. A good conclusion presents factual findings from the research.

Figures and Tables

Figures and tables must be placed within the text and provided with captions, not as appendices. Captions for figures should be placed below the figure, while captions for tables should be placed above the table. Both figure and table captions should be numbered sequentially. Figures must be clear enough to be printed even when scaled down to 50%.

Figures should not have borders. For colored images or graphs, they will appear in grayscale in the print edition. Tables should not use vertical lines and should contain three main horizontal lines: two for the column headers and one closing line for the last row.

Citations

References must follow the Turabian style, presented in footnotes. Footnotes should use 10 pt font size, single spacing, and have a first-line indent of 1.25 cm. Authors are required to use the Mendeley application for citation and reference management. The use of Mendeley ensures consistency in citation style and simplifies the reference list preparation.

References

The reference list must include all sources cited in the article. References must also be entered in the metadata section during article submission. With the use of Mendeley, authors are assisted in organizing their references efficiently.
