UGM Digital Press publishes full conference proceedings; therefore, publication proposals can only be submitted by conference organizers and authors cannot directly submit their articles. Conference organizers must undergo the process of requesting a quote which can be found on the publish tab on the top right of this website. The aim of quote requesting process is to document proceeding submission that is later curated on our database. It is also to assess proceedings by conference organizers before publication to see if all requirements are fulfilled. The series of entry dedicated on our quote request page will allow us to devise mapping for a vast majority of field of studies that can motivate other conference organizers to submit and assist us in enriching proceeding reports that can significantly impact the community. Therefore, it is of great importance by expecting conference organizers to accurately and truthfully supply all information through the quote and be in a constant correspondence with our team.

This guidelines serves as a complementary for a general information to assist publication on the UGM Digital Press alongside the template.
It should be noted that relevance to subject areas plays an important role for a publication. Therefore, conference organizers and authors must carefully consider this matter before submission. Neglecting other aspects of a successful publication such as validity of research, fair distribution of credential in special case that involves multiple authors, verification to prevent plagiarism and the like will make acceptance to be unlikely. If there is a suspicion in plagiarism through the use of software by UGM Digital Press administrator, the editors will ask for a clarification to the corresponding author and possibly to the conference organizers.

It will likely result in distraction from the science being discussed in a manuscript and a delay in publication.

They may receive a variety of manuscript such as clinical trial report, original research article, book review and the like. In that case, this is based on the merit set by the conference organizers.
The manuscript must consist of these aspects:
The title should be stated briefly, specific and properly spelled in accordance to the designated spelling system. It should explicitly reflect the content of the manuscript.

The abstract should be written in around 200-300 words in a single paragraph without repeating the title under the abstract heading. It should include a brief summary of the whole manuscript which starts from the background of study, relevant methods that are applied, the results of research and conclusion. The abstract must have strong relevance that represent the whole content of the article. Provide at least three up to five keywords in which they are written in lowercase.
The introduction should have a concise yet relevant to the whole research in which it is reflected in a brief explanation of research highlights and its future importance should there be an actual application of the research. Other important aspects that should also be included is any controversial or thought-provoking hypothesis in which it can resonate well with the highlights of the research. The purpose and the background of the studies must be explicitly mentioned and expressed in a coherent and elaborate manner. Please avoid using frequent jargons. If necessary, provide the meaning at the beginning of usage.
The methods may vary depending on the relevance of field of study that suits the UGM Digital Press series. In several field of studies, methods can be extensively elaborated.

It might also depending on the preference of a certain conference organizer that issued a specific author guidelines and emphasizing in methods. Generally, methods should include a set of strategic planning from the beginning of a research that is intended as a guideline for researchers in the field, the process of conducting the research and the role of each researchers in the field, the devices or tools that are utilized in obtaining the data as well as their property status, whether they are being lent or owned by the researchers or a specific institutions. In some cases, a detailed utilization of software, preferably that has institutional license must be included as well.
The outcome of the research is explicitly described with critical opinion and interpretation from the researchers and experts involved. If necessary, comparison of result from other researches in similar field is provided as well. In this section, more elaborate results and discussions in the form of data analysis are provided with field documentation such as photos or software-generated images, tables, figures, or statistics. Please refer to the templates for more detail on providing suitable supplementary materials that appear on the manuscript.
The conclusion should reflect and faithful to the process of conducting research from the initial stage that lead to the acquisition of new knowledge resulted from the research.
