Author Guidelines

TITLE: should be concise, informative, and less than 20 words. (Bookman Old Style 18pt Bold Less than 20 Words).

AUTHORS NAME AND AFFILIATION: Write Author(s) names without a title and professional positions such as Prof, Dr, Production Manager, etc. Do not abbreviate your last/family name. Always give your First and Last names. Write clear affiliation of all Authors. Please indicate Corresponding Author (include email address) by adding an asterisk (*) in superscript behind the name. Department/Program/Unit, Institution/Organization Name, City, Postal Code, Country. If there are more than two authors, please use numerical superscripts (3, 4, 5, etc.) as shown in the example. If authors share the same affiliation, listing it once for all is sufficient. Providing an email address for each author is mandatory. To update your ORCiD, right-click on the ORCiD logo and select 'Edit Link'. If you do not have an ORCiD yet, we highly recommend creating one (adding an ORCiD is strongly encouraged). 

ABSTRACT AND KEYWORDS: An abstract should stand alone, which means that no citation in the abstract. Consider it the advertisement for your article. The abstract should tell the prospective reader what you did and highlight the key findings. Avoid using technical jargon and uncommon abbreviations. You must be accurate, brief, clear, and specific. Use words that reflect the precise meaning. The abstract should be precise and honest. Please follow the word limitations (150‐250 words). Keywords are the labels of your manuscript and are critical to correct indexing and searching. Therefore the keywords should represent the content and highlight of your article. Use only those abbreviations that are firmly established in the field. Each keyword written in English, 5-7 words or/and phrases, separated by comma.

INTRODUCTION: The introduction should begin by concisely and clearly explaining the research background, problem formulation, theoretical framework, and research objectives, written in standard Indonesian. Subsequent paragraphs typically detail the literature review, including citations (footnotes) that present the state-of-the-art developments in the field relevant to the research topic. The final paragraph usually provides a description of the intended research objectives or goals to be achieved.

METHODS: This section should provide a detailed and clear description of the research location and timeline. It must specify the research method used (qualitative, quantitative, experiment, or mixed-methods), along with details regarding data collection and analysis techniques. If a pre-established method is employed, the appropriate references must be cited. For review articles, the specific methodology must be clearly stated. This includes types such as Systematic Review, Critical Review, Meta-analysis, Scoping Review, Integrative Review, Rapid Review, or Narrative Review. Additionally, the data collection process should be detailed, including search keywords, the time range of sources, the search databases or applications used, and the types of referenced journals (e.g., reputable indexed journals, national journals, etc.). A minimum of 10 articles must be used as references if the topic has been extensively researched previously.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: This section presents research results through detailed discussions, data, and statistical analysis. These findings should be discussed by comparing them with previous studies on similar topics to identify consistencies or discrepancies. Provide clear and comprehensive scientific reasoning for these results to establish the research's position. It is recommended to merge the Results and Discussion into a single section to avoid redundancy or ambiguity. The results obtained based on the methods used are stated. Avoid raw data and double presentation (e.g., tables and graphs). Every mean value of the data was given a standard deviation. All the data in the results should be presented in tables or graphs, although some results may be given solely in the text. A discussion can be made by comparing the results/data reported with previously published research results. The results were interpreted rather than repeated. The similarities, differences, and uniqueness of the findings should be highlighted.

CONCLUSION: The conclusion is described briefly and refers to the main points of discussion and the ability to articulate the main findings, answering the objectives to be achieved. It should be written as one paragraph, not a pointer.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS:  An acknowledgment section is mandatory only if the research was supported (funding, facilities, and personnel) by relevant institutions or agencies, research sponsors, or individuals directly involved in the study's execution. Expressions of gratitude should be concise and not excessive. (This section is optional and may be included or removed as necessary)."
