Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.

Author Guidelines

Authors should kindly note that submission implies that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere except as a brief abstract in the proceedings of a scientific meeting or symposium.

Once the submission materials have been prepared in accordance with the Author Guidelines, new submissions should be made via the Research Exchange submission portal https://e-journals2.unmul.ac.id/index.php/jipt/about/submissions

ORCID iDs
Tropical Fisheries Science requires the submitting author (only) to provide an ORCID iD when submitting their manuscript. Authors will only need to provide an ORCID iD during submission once. For future submissions, their ORCID iD will appear as part of their author details. Once registered with ORCID, researchers will be able to manage the privacy settings of their individual ORCID Record data, ensuring them complete control over how their information is used, in line with ORCID’s Privacy Policy. 

 

TYPES OF SUBMISSION

Nusantara Tropical Fisheries Science accepts three types of manuscript: Research Articles, Reviews, and Opinion. All three types of manuscript follow the same process of peer review. 

Research Articles report empirical research and follows the format outlined below in Preparing the Submission. 

Review articles present reviews of areas of research of interest to the readership and falling within the scope of all aquatic biotas related to fisheries. They may be invited or submitted. Preference will be given to Reviews that cover either new and emerging topics, or areas of research that have not been recently reviewed. Review articles should not present a catalogue of research on a topic. Instead, they should synthesize existing research, present novel insights, provide evidence-based generalisations about existing knowledge and identify or propose new directions for the research area. Provided that they meet the requirements, reviews written by postgraduate research students and their supervisors are welcome. Review articles will have a Summary, Introduction and Methods section (explaining how literature was sought for review) and otherwise be structured using subheadings. Word limits for Review articles are the same as those for Research Articles.

Opinion articles are shorter communications with a narrower focus than Reviews, yet they should still be well founded on evidence from recent literature. They should present novel ideas, a distinctive viewpoint and/or conceptual advances related to recent research. They should not usually present new results. Provided that they meet these requirements, Opinion articles written by postgraduate research students together with more senior researchers are welcome. Opinion articles may also be submitted in pairs where each article presents one side of a debated topic. Opinion articles that present a critique or response to a recent article published in Freshwater Biology, following peer review and acceptance, will be held back while the authors of the original paper are invited to write a response within a fixed timeframe. If contributed, the latter will also be peer reviewed, and then the two articles will be published together in the same journal issue. Opinion articles will have a Summary and Introduction and otherwise be structured using subheadings. They have a maximum word limit of 4000 words (not including figures, tables or references).
