INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
 
TREUBIA is a peer-reviewed, scientific zoological journal with focus on biosystematic aspects of terrestrial and aquatic fauna in the Indo-Australian region. TREUBIA is published twice a year and accepts manuscripts within the scope of the journal. It is accessible online at http://e-journal.biologi.lipi.go.id/index.php/treubia.
The missions of TREUBIA are to: (1) promote sciences and disseminate information in animal systematics and on the biodiversity of the region; (2) participate in the effort of educating public through good quality of scientific media and available professional researchers; (3) establish linkages among zoologists particularly in the field of systematics.
TREUBIA accepts manuscripts based on original research, taxonomic review or short communication. The manuscript should not be offered for prior or simultaneous publication elsewhere. It must be written in English and should use the American English spelling. Manuscripts should be prepared double-spaced in Microsoft Word, using Times New Roman font 12, A4 paper size. Template is available through e-journal. An electronic file of the manuscript along with a formal cover letter indicating the importance, stating its originality and its approval by all co-authors should be submitted to the editors of TREUBIA through http://e-journal.biologi.lipi.go.id/index.php/treubia or through e-mail address: treubia@gmail.com.
Concise writing is recommended. All numbers under 10 and any number forming the first word of a sentence must be spelled out, except in the Materials and Methods section of taxonomic papers. Year should be completely written. Names of genera and species should be in italic type. It is recommended to use metric measurements in abbreviation (for examples: kg, cm, ml). Please consult and refer to a recent issue of TREUBIA for an acceptable format. Please note that starting in 2018, we adopt Mendeley reference management application, with Harvard referencing style.

Title section. This includes the title of the paper (all capitalized), authors full name, authors institution and address (all with first letters capitalized), and e-mail address of the corresponding author. The title should be short, informative and without abbreviation.
Abstract. Except for short communications, articles should be accompanied by an abstract. The abstract consists of no more than 250 words in one paragraph which should clearly state the essence of the paper, with no references cited.
Keywords. Following the abstract, list up to 5 keywords, all typed in lowercase except a proper noun, separated by commas, presented in alphabetical order.
Introduction. The introduction must briefly justify the research and give the objectives. References related to the justification of the research should be cited in the introduction but extensive and elaborate discussion of relevant literature should be addressed in the Discussion section. References are to be cited in the text by the author’s surname and year of publication. When citing multiple sources, place them in chronological order, for example: (Glaubrecht, 1999, 2006; Glaubrecht et al., 2009; Maaβ & Glaubrecht, 2012). For two authors, both names should be cited. For three authors or more, only the first author is given followed by et al.
