Author Guidelines

1. Introduction

Scripts must be prepared properly by the author and corrected to minimize content or typographical errors. Scripts are arranged in a one-column format and avoid using numbering on their parts. The letter used is Cambria size 11.5 for all parts. All paragraphs are arranged in a justified format. Between paragraphs do not give blank lines. Avoid presenting one paragraph containing only one sentence.

Considering the scope of architectural research journals, the authors need to prepare the script carefully. For this reason, it should be concerned to the parts on the title, the first sentence in the abstract, the first paragraph in the introduction, the objectives, problems, discussion and conclusions of each must be closely related to the architectural aspects.

The minimum number of pages is 10 pages and is presented without any other subtitles. The introduction should be prepared densely by showing the "state of the art" of the contents of the text. The introduction contains the background of the problem including information from the results of pre-existing research, problem formulation and research objectives. This section must be supported by a primary reference study (journal) to provide information on the newest script. The number of primary references (journals) and current references (with the last 10 years) is required around 80% to all references used.

The introduction does not contain a subsection of literature reviews specifically. If there is a calculation section, it is included as part of the method. The formulation of the problem should be written in narrative form, not with a list of problem statements. The presentation form uses news sentences, not with interrogative sentences. The goal is written in narrative form into paragraphs and not using numbering lists. Goals can be summarized in to be more informative in one sentence according to Syam (2005).

2. Writing the Title, Name and Address of the Author

The distance of the lines between the title and the author's name is 2 spaces, while the distance between the author's affiliate address and the abstract's title is 1 space. Keywords must be written below the abstract text for each language, arranged alphabetically and separated by semicolons with 3-5 word words. For articles written in Indonesian, write the title in English at the beginning of the English abstract text (see example above).

The author in charge or Correspondence Author or corresponding Author must be marked with an asterisk followed by a comma "1)" as in the example above. At the bottom of the left column, the first page / abstract must be written signing the Author's in charge or correspondence author or Corresponding Author and also written the e-mail address (see example). Communication about article revisions and final decisions will only be communicated via email to the correspondence author.

If there is more than one author, write the names of the authors separated by commas (,). If the author's name consists of two words, the first word of the author (first name) should not be abbreviated. If the author's name consists of only one word, write the real name in one word, however in the online version (HTML) it will be written in two words that contain the same name (repeated) for indexing metadata (Camdali & Tunc, 2006; Fridman, 2008).

If there are suggestions, they are included as part of the discussion or can also be part of the conclusion. Conclusions are made in paragraph form and do not use numbered lists. The introductory sentence in the conclusion is omitted. The conclusions section can also be added to the author's recognition towards his research findings, the recent research, the advantages and disadvantages of the research, and recommendations for further research.
