Author Guidelines
The article is single-spaced in Indonesian or English, with one 5000-12.000 words column. All the authors' names are in the article, and the metadata is on the Open Journal System (OJS) website. (If the author's name is incomplete, the article will be rejected, and an author may submit a new submission.) The author must fill out the author's profile on the OJS website that consists of the author's First, Middle, and Last Names (If the author only uses one name, fill the first name and last name with the same name), Gender, Initial, Username, Password, Affiliation (University/or Institution), E-mail, Mailing Address (complete address of affiliation: street name, city, province and zip code), Country and Bio Statement (Department or Faculty).
The article must be structured in the following order: Title, Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, acknowledgments, and references.
TITLE: The title must briefly describe the contents of the research article and attract academic readers. The title consists of 8-12 words, not including a definite article (the) and an indefinite article (a, an). Use phrases, not sentences.
ABSTRACT: The abstract summarises the article, comprising research objectives, research methods, results and discussion, and conclusion. Implications or recommendations can be added to the abstract. The abstract must be written in 200-400 words. The abstract must not contain lengthy background information and have no reference to figures, tables, equations, or any bibliographical reference, either coming within or from another article. The language of the abstract must be clear and concise. It is a stand-alone summary in one paragraph.
KEYWORDS: Keywords consist of important/ specific words or phrases in the title and abstract. But, it can also come from the article. 3-5 keywords from one article can be used with a semicolon (;). It could be stated as a word or a compound word.
INTRODUCTION: The introduction must create a good impression so the reader can view the rest of the paper. It is necessary to state what will be encountered and define the importance of the study. The introduction shows what is already known from former studies, provides a literature review, and states the research question. To understand what is already known from the previous study, the introduction must discuss the relevant journal article (with citation) and summarise the current understanding of the problem. In addition, the introduction also points out the gaps and importance of the research that has been done.
METHODS: The methods explain clearly how the author carried out the research. The technique must describe the research design clearly, the replicable research procedures, and how to summarize and analyze the data.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS: The results and discussion sections are separate with a Results subheading and a Discussion subheading. The results section objectively presents the main results of the research, which consist of text data sets, tables, and figures. The research results begin with text, presenting the main findings by referring to data from tables and figures. Tables should be organized according to a template, with no screen printing, specific numerical values, and comparison and contrast values. Statistics should be precise (provide original files as additional files in the article submission) and highlight trends, patterns, and relationships. The results section should show how the authors ensured the validity and reliability of the data.
The discussion section is written after the Results subheading. The discussion section shows how the authors interpret the results section based on what is already known and explains new insights as you consider your results. The discussion should connect with the introduction to show how your research contributes to knowledge and society.
CONCLUSIONS: The conclusions section shows the answer or clarification of the research questions and opportunities for future research
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: The authors could acknowledge any sources of funding that supported the research and may acknowledge the outside reviewers of their drafts
REFERENCES: The reference must consist of 80% from relevant and recent primary sources (such as a journal article or conference from the last five years). The reference must be written in APA using reference manager software (Mendeley).
