General Guidelines Journal of Process Engineering publishes scientific articles on topics relevant to the fields of Economics, Business, and Management, including research results, simulations, and the development of fundamental concepts. Articles proposed for publication in the Journal of Process Engineering must be unpublished in other scientific journals. Articles can be written in Indonesian or English, using proper written language. Articles should be written as manuscripts in MS Word, with A4 page size (210 x 297 mm) with a left margin of 25 cm, a top margin of 30 cm, a right margin of 20 cm, and a bottom margin of 20 cm. Articles should be written in single-column format with a text layout as simple as possible.

All text in the manuscript should be written in 12-point Times New Roman font and double-spaced. Special Instructions The manuscript begins with the Title, Author's Name, Author's Address, Abstract, and Keywords, followed by the main body, which consists of the Introduction, Research Method (Model Development), Results and Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgments, List of References (if any), Bibliography, and Appendices (Figures and Tables). In manuscript writing, figures and tables are not presented together with the text in the main body, but rather in the Appendices, each with a sequential number and title. The figure number and title are listed below the figure, while the table number and title are listed above the table. Please ensure that the quality and size of the images presented are large enough to produce good print quality (one page per image). Please leave the images unframed. This will facilitate editing and formatting of the article later.
1. Title, Author's Name, Author's Address, Corresponding Author, The article title should be concise but informative. It is recommended to avoid abbreviations and unfamiliar formulas. b. The names of all authors are listed below the article title in full, but without titles. A superscript letter should be used at the end of each name to identify the author's address. The responsible author should also be identified. c. The author's address should be listed below all authors' names, beginning with a superscript letter corresponding to each author's name. d. The correspondence address should be listed in a footnote on the page containing the author's name. The address should include a complete and clear postal address, along with email, telephone, and fax addresses.
2. Abstract and Keywords a. The abstract should be written concisely; Contains the purpose/objectives, results, and conclusions to be highlighted.

Directly below the abstract, write six appropriate keywords, separated by a comma (,). c. The abstract and keywords should be written in two languages, namely Indonesian and English.
3. Introduction, The introduction provides the background of the research/paper, a brief literature review explaining the state of the art of research, and the purpose of the research/paper.
4. Research Method (Model Development), This section presents the materials used in the research. The research methods used should be presented in sufficient detail to ensure that the results obtained are reproducible. If the submitted manuscript is a model development, a description of the proposed model and how it was evaluated/used should be provided.
5. Results and Discussion, This section presents the research results (model development) obtained systematically and constructively, accompanied by a comprehensive discussion that supports the research objectives and strengthens the conclusions. Although some research results are presented in tables or figures, these tables or figures are not inserted within the text but are attached in the appendix. The text only mentions the number and/or name of the table or figure discussed.
6. Conclusion, This section summarizes the main conclusions from the results obtained.
7. List of Notations, The list of notations is written in alphabetical order. Latin (Greek) notations are listed before alphabetical notations.
8.

The bibliography can be written directly in the text or enclosed in parentheses ( ). If there are multiple bibliography sources, they are listed alphabetically, followed by year of publication. Example: "... as revealed in previous research (Allan, 1996a, 1996b, 1999; Allan and Jones, 1995). Kramer et al. (2000) recently stated that..." b. References in the Bibliography The bibliography is arranged alphabetically by author's last name and date (if necessary). If there are multiple references by the same author for different years, they should be indexed with the letters "a," "b," "c," etc., after the year of publication. Examples: • References in scientific magazines/journals/proceedings: Capek, P., Hejtmanek, V., Solcova, O., Klusacek, K., and Schneider, P., 1997. Gas transport in porous media under dynamic conditions, Catalysis Today 38, 31-38. • References in books: Strunk Jr., W., White, E.B., 1979. The Elements of Style, third ed. Macmillan, New York. • References that are part of a book with editors: Mettam, G.R., Adams, L.B., 1999. How to prepare an electronic version of your article, in: Jones, B.S., Smith, R.Z. (Eds.), Introduction to the Electronic Age. E-Publishing Inc., New York, pp. 281-304.
