INSTRUCTIONS FOR WRITING

The manuscript can be written in Bahasa Indonesia or English, but English is preferable to make the paper readable for international audiences. The manuscript is typewritten using the Microsoft Word application with the Word Document file type (*.docx) on A4-sized paper (210 mm x 297 mm), with margins of 20 mm on the top, 20 mm on the bottom, 25 mm on the left, and 15 mm on the right. Outside of the references, there must be 8–12 pages; an attempt is made to maintain an even page.

The paper may be in the form of a research study (research article) or a literature review (review article).

Writing systematics for:

A. Research Article, consisting of:

• Abstract must be written in English with good and correct grammar. The abstract contents should fully describe the essence of the paper systematically and contain "a problem statement or background of the study, research objectives, approach or methods, results, and conclusions”. In addition, the author should explain the implications of the results in the field of civil engineering or general science. The length of the abstract should be between 150 and 250 words.
• Keywords are written under the Abstract, arranged alphabetically, and consist of 3 to 5 words.
• 1. INTRODUCTION contains the background of the study, problem statement, literature review, research objectives, and scope. The literature review should include a gap analysis and theoretical concepts written in "state of the art" on the topic discussed in the manuscript.
• 2. METHOD contains the materials and equipment used and how to carry out research.
• 3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION describes the results obtained along with their discussion, which are clearly and comprehensively explained. They can be presented in the form of tables and figures. Research results should provide a concise and precise description of the experimental results, their interpretation, and the experimental conclusions that can be drawn. The author should discuss the research results, including how these results are interpreted from the point of view of previous studies and the hypotheses that were worked out.
• 4. CONCLUSION, conclude the results of the research obtained. Research findings and contributions to the civil engineering field and science in general should also be highlighted.
• REFERENCES contain libraries or bibliographies referred to in the paper.

B. Review Article, consisting of:

• Abstract must be written in English and contain the problems studied, the way they are implemented, the results, and conclusions.
• Keywords are written under the Abstract, arranged alphabetically, and consist of 3 to 5 words.
• 1. INTRODUCTION contains the background of the study, the problem statement, the research objectives, and the scope.
• 2. LITERATURE REVIEW contains a review of recent literature that supports the study of the topics discussed. If the review is a systematic literature review (SLR), the author must describe the method used for that analysis.
• 3. DISCUSSION contains an analysis of the results in the review by explaining their findings, advantages, and strengths.
• 4. CONCLUSION, conclude the results of the study obtained. Future studies that are needed should be highlighted.
• REFERENCES contain libraries or bibliographies referred to in the paper.

The bibliography is arranged by sequence number starting from [1], where it is cited for the first time in the paper. The number of references used should be a minimum of 20 sources (primarily journal articles, conference papers, books, and academic theses) and a maximum of the last 10 years (recent literature). Citations and bibliographies are written according to the IEEE style format. The editor encourages the author to use a standard reference management application such as Mendeley, Zotero, etc., for writing consistency. Examples of writing citations of reference in a sentence are as follows:

1) Fletcher et al. [1] mention that flexibility ....
2) The Green-Ampt method [2] calculates the infiltration rate ....
3) The low-impact development practice has been adopted in several countries and is known by different terminologies [3], [4].
