ARTICLE WRITING GUIDELINES
This guideline provides explanations to assist authors in preparing papers for publication in Potensi: Jurnal Sipil Politeknik, so that there is consistency in writing between papers. This guideline provides guidance on layout, style, illustrations, references, and serves as a model for authors to emulate. Without following these specifications, papers that do not meet the established standards will not be published.
A. GENERAL GUIDELINES
Manuscripts must be in Indonesian or English and presented on A4 paper (210 mm x 297 mm) written in 1 (one) COLUMN format with margins of 2.5 cm from the top and bottom, and 1.5 cm from the left and right.
B. TECHNICAL GUIDELINES
Title
The full title of the manuscript must be written in the middle of the first page. This is followed by an abstract written as ABSTRACT, then keywords written in no more than six words. The text must be typed with single spacing, using the same font as that used in the text (Times New Roman, 10 point). Paragraphs must be separated by single spacing. Each manuscript must not exceed ten (10) pages including illustrations, tables, and references. The paper must be submitted as a word document.
Abstract
The abstract of the paper conveys the importance of the publication/research conducted in a concise and logical manner. The abstract is a synopsis of the original study that discusses the research problem, information and methods used to address the problem, results, discussion, and conclusions. The number of words in the abstract should not exceed 200 words. References must be made in the manuscript and there are no reference citations in the abstract.
Keywords
Keywords contain synopsis and references (max. 6 words).
1. INTRODUCTION
The introduction should contain the background of the research, related research that has existed, the expectations to be achieved from the writing, the scientific benefits and novelty of the writing and the purpose of writing and research methods. Generally the introduction is not too extensive, around 2 pages of single spacing;
2. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The results and discussion is written clearly and concisely containing the findings of the research results, differences between the results or findings of the research and previous writings from other researchers; The discussion contains a description and analysis of the research results. The results and discussion can be combined appropriately or can use small subtitles according to the needs of the discussion.
2.1 Sub-Sections and Sub-sections
Sections and subsections should be numbered and titled as follows 1, 2, etc. and 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1, etc. Capital letters should be used for section titles. For subsections, the first letter of each word should be capitalized followed by lower case letters.
2.1.1 Identifications
Please avoid using headers, footers or page numbers in the submitted paper. These will be added to the final publication in the journal by the Committee.
2.2 Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even after they are defined in the Abstract. Abbreviations such as IEEE, SI, MKS, CGS, AC, DC, and RMS do not need to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title unless it is unavoidable.
3. Table and Figure
Numbering should be given to figures and tables. For example, Figure 1, Figure 2, etc. Figure numbers and titles should be placed below the figures, and table numbers and titles should be placed at the top of the table. The first letter of the title should be placed in the center of the page between the left and right margins. Tables, illustrations and corresponding text should be placed on the same page as much as possible. If not, they can be placed directly on the next page.

4. EQUATIONS
When numbering equations, place the appropriate number in parentheses and position the number to the right of the text field. Equations should be typed and not copied and pasted.
Example:
Z = c0 + c1 X1 + c2 X2 + c3 X3 + c4 X4 (1)
5. Citations and References
The citation number is written sequentially in square brackets [1]. The sentence read is followed by brackets [2]. Look only for the reference number, as in [3]. Do not use Ref. [3] or reference [3] except at the beginning of a sentence. In general, references are written using IEEE style.
Please note that references at the end of this document are the expected referencing style. Give all authors' names, do not use "et.al." unless there are six or more authors. Use a space after the author's initials. Unpublished papers, even if submitted for publication, should be referred to as "unpublished" [4]. Papers accepted for publication should be referred to as "in press" [5].
Capitalize only the first sentence of the paper title, except for proper nouns and element symbols. For papers published in translated journals, please give the English citation first, followed by the original foreign language citation [6].
6. DISCUSSION
Use zeros before the decimal point: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm3,” not “cc.” Indicate sample dimensions as “0.1 cm x 0.2 cm,” not “0.1 x 0.2 cm.” The abbreviation for “second” is “s,” not “sec.” When expressing multiple values, write “7 to 9” or “7-9”, not “7~9”. Spell out the unit when it appears in the text “…. a few henries,” not “…. a few H”.
7. CONCLUSIONS
Finally, you are responsible for the language of the paper, the editor will not check it. Do a spelling and grammar check. This is already available in Word software. Since Indonesian is your native language, there MUST be no problems, so checks and rechecks need to be done.
Prefixes such as "non," "sub," "mikro," "multi," and "ultra" are not independent words, they must be joined to the words they modify, usually without a hyphen.
