  • Abstract & Keywords: Written in both Indonesian and English (150–250 words each). Concisely state background, objective, methodology, main results, and conclusion. Include 3 to 5 specific terms (e.g., slope stability, geotechnics, geochemistry, coal).
  • Introduction: Contains the research background, literature review / state of the art, research novelty, and research objectives.
  • Methods: Clearly describes the study location (coordinates/location map), equipment, sampling techniques, laboratory procedures, and geological/mining data analysis methods.
  • Results and Discussion: Presents research findings (tables, graphs, mapping data) accompanied by an in-depth analysis and interpretation. Compare results with previous relevant studies.
  • Conclusion: Directly addresses the research objectives in a clear and concise manner. Recommendations for future research or technical applications may be included.
  • Acknowledgements (Optional): Expresses gratitude to funding agencies (grants), laboratory facility providers, or field assistance personnel.
  • References: Primary references should preferably be published within the last 10 years (at least 80% from peer-reviewed journals with ISSN).

3. Technical Requirements & Citations

Tables, Figures & Maps

Geological and location maps must include a bar scale, north arrow, clear legend, and coordinates. Images must have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi (.JPG/.PNG).

Tables should use an open format (horizontal lines only at top, bottom, and under headers). Titles placed above. All figures and tables must be explicitly cited in the main text (e.g., Figure 1 or Table 2).

Formulas & Referencing Style

Use the International System of Units (SI) (m, m/s, MPa, t/h). Mathematical equations and geotechnical/blasting formulas must be written using Equation Editor and numbered sequentially on the right margin.

Authors are strongly encouraged to use reference management tools such as Mendeley or Zotero, adhering to IEEE or APA Style 7th Edition.
