AIMS. The aim of this publication is to present articles that address agricultural and food policy issues through responsive, predictive, or anticipatory policy analyses, accompanied by original, relevant, contextual, and concrete solutions.

SCOPE. The scope of the manuscripts includes socio-economic aspects and agricultural development policy (covering food crops, horticulture, plantation crops, and livestock) and food systems. Topics may include the management of natural and human resources, infrastructure, innovation, agribusiness, food security, sustainability, and other relevant issues.

MANUSCRIPTS. Manuscripts may be based on primary research/studies or in-depth reviews of various aspects and challenges in agricultural and food development. The editorial board only accepts original manuscripts that have not been previously published or are not currently under consideration elsewhere.

CONTENT OF THE MANUSCRIPT. Manuscripts must follow academic writing conventions, with the following structure:

1. TITLE. The title must be specific, concise, informative, and reflect the core content of the paper, not exceeding 15 words. It should not begin with terms such as “research,” “analysis,” or “study,” unless these are central to the topic. A subtitle may be included to clarify the manuscript’s focus, but the total word count must still not exceed 15 words. The title should be written in both Indonesian and American English.
2. AUTHOR NAME(S). Author names should be listed without academic degrees, followed by institutional affiliations (more than one may be listed), and the corresponding author's email address. For multiple authors, names and affiliations should follow academic authorship ethics and conventions.
3. ABSTRACT. The abstract should be written in both English and Indonesian, each in a single paragraph, single-spaced, without citations or footnotes. It must include the main issue, research/study objectives, methodology, key findings, conclusions, and policy implications. The abstract must be concise and not exceed 250 words.
4. KEYWORDS. Keywords should reflect the essential concepts of the manuscript, support indexing, and aid in searchability. They should align with descriptors listed in AGROVOC or other relevant references on socio-economic and agricultural policy terminology. A minimum of three and a maximum of five keywords should be provided.
5. INTRODUCTION. The introduction should present the policy background and current context of the topic, problem formulation, a review of relevant studies (state of the art), research gap, novelty, and the objectives of the research/study.
6. METHODOLOGY. For primary research manuscripts, this section should describe the analytical framework (optional), scope, study area, study period or time span of the analysis, types of data (primary and/or secondary), data collection methods, and analytical techniques. Subsections may be used to organize the methodology clearly. For review papers, the methodology section should include the scope of discussion, data sources, and the review method (with or without subsections).
7. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. This section presents the analytical and synthetic findings relevant to the manuscript’s objectives, along with discussions on alternative policy recommendations. For clarity and coherence, subsections are recommended.
8. CONCLUSIONS AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS. Conclusions and policy implications should be drawn from the results and discussion, addressing the objectives and offering original, relevant, contextual, and concrete policy recommendations. For clarity, the conclusions and policy implications should be presented in separate paragraphs.
9. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS (OPTIONAL). This section is used to acknowledge institutions or individuals who contributed to or supported the funding, implementation, and writing of the study or manuscript.
10. REFERENCES. For primary research manuscripts, at least 10 references must be cited. For review articles, a minimum of 25 references is required, with at least 80% being primary sources (especially peer-reviewed international journals or nationally accredited academic journals). References should preferably be from the last ten years. Self-citations should not exceed 30% of the total references.

FORMAT.  The manuscript should be typed on A4-size paper (21.0 × 29.7 cm) with single spacing. The top margin should be 3 cm, and the left, right, and bottom margins should each be 2.5 cm. The main text should be written in Arial font, size 10, while the Abstract and References should use Arial, size 9. The manuscript must be prepared using Microsoft Word. Tables and graphs should be created using Microsoft Excel, while images should be in editable JPEG or TIFF format. The length of the manuscript should be between 12 and 20 pages. Authors are encouraged to use the Analisis Kebijakan Pertanian manuscript template, which can be downloaded here.

LANGUAGE.  Manuscripts may be written in either standard Indonesian or English, using an academic writing style. For manuscripts written in Indonesian, the use of foreign terms should be minimized and should follow the Pedoman Umum Ejaan Bahasa Indonesia (PUEBI) and the Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (KBBI).

TABLE. Table formatting must include the title, content, location, year, and data source (for secondary data). Tables should be concise and informative, serving as a tool to enhance the presentation of information or analytical results. The table and its title should be aligned justified. Data sources (for secondary data) should be placed at the bottom left of the table. Separators should be horizontal lines only.

IMAGES AND GRAPHS. Images should be printed in bold lines to allow for reduction to 50–60% of their original size. Images are not to serve as complements to tables—choose whichever format is most relevant. Titles for images and graphs should be placed below the figures, without overlapping or interfering with the content. Both the image and its title should be aligned to the left margin of the manuscript. The image source should be placed directly below the image and above the title.

UNITS OF MEASUREMENT

The usage of measurement units in the text, graphs, and figures must follow the International System of Units (SI), such as cm, kg, km, ha, t, and so on. Specifically, the abbreviation for liter is written as L (uppercase) to avoid confusion with the number 1. Decimal numbers are separated by a comma (,) in manuscripts written in Indonesian, whereas in English manuscripts, a period (.) is used. Thousands are separated by a period (.) in Indonesian manuscripts and by a comma (,) in English manuscripts.

CITATION STYLE

The citation style used in the manuscript follows the Taylor & Francis – Council of Science Editors (author-year) format, which includes the author’s (family/last) name and the year of publication. Examples: Pasandaran (2019); Suryana and Agustian (2018).

If there are more than two authors, only the first author’s last name is written, followed by et al., e.g., Erwidodo et al. (2022); Ilham et al. (2023).

List them chronologically when citing multiple sources together, e.g., (Suryana et al. 2020; Saliem et al. 2021).

If citing multiple works by the same author from different years, separate the years with a comma, e.g., (Chalil 2019, 2020).

Add a letter after the year for two or more sources by the same author and the same year in both the in-text citation and reference list, e.g., (Syahyuti 2019a, 2019b).

If two authors have the same last name and publication year, include the first initial and separate the names with a semicolon, e.g., (Sudaryanto B 2019; Sudaryanto T 2020).

Using reference management software such as Mendeley, Zotero, or EndNote is recommended to avoid errors in citation and bibliography formatting.

REFERENCE LIST FORMAT

All sources cited in the text must appear in the reference list, and vice versa. The reference list should be arranged alphabetically by the author's (family/last) name.

All author and editor names must be written in full—do not use et al. in the reference list, except when there are more than 10 authors/editors, in which case list the first 10 names followed by et al.

For manuscripts written in English, the titles of sources written in Indonesian should be followed by their English translation in square brackets [ ].

Here are some examples of reference list entries following the Taylor & Francis – Council of Science Editors (author-year) style:
