  • e) Abstract; Abstract should be in one paragraph between 150 sd 200 words with 1 space and written in two languages namely English with Keywords and Indonesia with Kata Kunci consisting of three to five words. The 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. The abstract should succinctly describe your entire paper. It comprises of the purposes of the research, method, and the findings of the research. Keywords are the labels of your manuscript and 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 word/phrase in keyword should be separated by a semicolon (;), not a comma (,).
  • f) Introduction; The purpose of an introduction is to justify the reasons for writing about your topic. Your goal in this section is to introduce the topic to the reader, provide an overview of previous research on the topic, and identify your own hypothesis, research, or study. If you introduce and define key words in your abstract, you need to introduce and define them in this section with Times New Arabic Font, 12 pt, and 1,5 space. All the subheadings in this section should be in Bold, Times New Arabic Font, 12pt, and 1,5 space. The first letter of each word in subheading should be in capital.

From INTRODUCTION to CONCLUSION it should be 6000 – 7000 words or 18/25 pages. First Sub heading: Times New Arabic, 12, Bold, italic, justify, sentence case. Second sub heading : Times New Arabic, 12, italic, justify, sentence case
  • g) Methodology; This section explains the rationale for the application of specific procedures or techniques used to identify, select, and analyze information applied to understand the research problem/project, thereby, allow the readers to critically evaluate your project’s/study's overall validity and reliability.

  • h) Discussions; The discussion is written to interpret and describe the significance of your findings in light of what was already known about the issues being investigated, and to explain any new understanding or insights about the problem after you have taken the findings into consideration. It should connect to the introduction by way of the research questions or hypotheses you posed and the literature you reviewed, but it does not simply repeat or rearrange the introduction; this section should always explain how your study has moved the reader's understanding of the research problem forward from where you left them at the end of the introduction. The research findings in the form of research data are further discussed or critically interpreted with particular relevant theoretical approach. Data can also be supported with the presentation of tables, images, etc. Captions for table is written above it with sequenced numbering so that it can be easily referred to, though not put under the pointing sentence/ paragraph. Line (border) to the table is made minimalist by eliminating the vertical lines and leaving horizontal lines deemed necessary. Captions for images are placed below the picture, also with providing sequenced numbering. One page only accommodates a table or an image with a maximum of two-thirds the size of the page (size adjusted as efficiently as possible). see article template
  • i)Conclusions; The conclusion is intended to help the readers understand why your research should matter to them after they have finished reading the paper. It is not just a summary of the main topics covered or a re-statement of your research problem, but a synthesis of key points and, if applicable, where you recommend new areas for future research. All the subheadings in this section should be in Times New Arabic Font, 12 pt, and 1,5 space. The first letter of each word in subheading should be capital.
