Author Guidelines

Arsip Keilmuan Gizi (AKG) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to sharing research and information in the fields of nutrition and food science, published by Sarana Ilmu Indonesia (Salnesia).

SCOPE

1. Data-Based Articles

Original research articles (commonly known as "original contributions", "original articles", "original works", or "research papers") are data-driven manuscripts presenting qualitative or quantitative research findings derived from primary or secondary data. This category includes meta-analysis articles.

Composition of Original Research Articles:

  • Title

  • Author Information, including institutional affiliation and corresponding author's email address.

  • Abstract in both Indonesian and English.

  • Introduction, detailing the factual and theoretical background, objectives, scope, or hypotheses of the article.

  • Materials/Subjects and Methods, describing in sufficient detail the subjects and research methods used for interventions (for experimental or quasi-experimental designs), data collection, processing, and analysis.

  • Results, presenting the outcomes of the research based on the analytical procedures conducted. Narrative descriptions may be supported by tables, diagrams, and figures (photos or sketches).

  • Discussion, providing a systematic, step-by-step analysis of the research results to address and explain the "how" and "why" behind the findings. The results should be discussed using existing theories, previous research findings, relevant internal data, and logical reasoning. The discussion section must end with conclusions and implications, without standalone recommendations (academic recommendations should be integrated into the implications). DO NOT merge the Discussion section with the Results section.

  • Acknowledgments (if applicable).

  • References.

  • Appendices, containing essential supplementary material beyond the tables, diagrams, and figures presented in the Results section.

2. Theory-Based Review Articles and Conceptual Syntheses

Systematic literature reviews address a specific topic within the health sciences based on existing literature. This category includes classic literature reviews and critical appraisals.

Format of Review Articles:

  • Introduction, detailing the factual and theoretical background as well as the objectives or intent of the article.

  • Main Body, divided into subheadings according to the structure/composition of the article. Each subtopic should be discussed by comparing theoretical sources and empirical research findings (rather than merely compiling the contents of cited reference subtopics).

  • Conclusion.

  • References.

  • Appendices, containing essential materials beyond tables, diagrams, and figures suitable for case report sections.
