Authors Guideline

Manuscripts must be typed in Microsoft Word using Times New Roman, 11 pt, single spacing, on A4 paper. The page margins should follow the official journal template. Component headings should be bold, left-aligned, and consistently formatted. Subsections should be integrated naturally into the manuscript structure and should not be excessively fragmented.

1. Title

The title should be concise, informative, and no longer than 15 words for an English-language manuscript. It should be written in Times New Roman, 14 pt, and should accurately reflect the content of the study.

2. Author Information

Write each author’s full name without academic or professional titles. Include the study program or department, institutional affiliation, and email address. Clearly identify the corresponding author and provide a valid email address.

3. Abstract and Keywords

The abstract should be clear, concise, and descriptive. It should briefly present the research problem, objective, method, principal results, and conclusion or significance of the findings. Abstracts must be provided in English and Bahasa Indonesia, preferably not exceeding 250 words each. Use Times New Roman, 10 pt, single spacing. Provide 3–5 keywords separated by semicolons.

4. Introduction

The introduction should explain the background and urgency of the research, identify the central problem, synthesize relevant recent literature, describe existing solutions or methods, identify limitations or unresolved issues in previous studies, and clearly establish the research gap and novelty. The objectives of the study should be stated at the end of the section. Avoid an excessively detailed literature review or discussion of results.

5. Methods

The methods section should provide sufficient detail for readers to understand and, where appropriate, reproduce the study. Describe the research approach and design, setting, population and sample or informants, variables or research focus, instruments or materials, data-collection procedures, and data-analysis techniques. Previously published methods should be cited, and only relevant modifications should be described.

6. Results and Discussion

Present the results clearly, concisely, and in accordance with the scope of the study. Tables, figures, graphs, or charts may be used where necessary and must be numbered, titled, and discussed in the text. The discussion should interpret the findings rather than repeat the results. It should explain:

What: How do the results address the research questions or objectives?
Why: What scientific interpretation explains each major finding?
What else: How do the findings compare with previous national and international studies?

The discussion must clearly demonstrate the contribution, novelty, implications, and limitations of the study.

7. Conclusion and Recommendations

The conclusion should directly answer the research objectives and summarize the principal contribution of the study without repeating the abstract or merely listing the results. Explain how the findings advance current knowledge, identify relevant theoretical or practical implications, and provide appropriate recommendations or directions for future research.

8. References

The manuscript should include at least 20 relevant references. Priority should be given to primary sources and reputable national and international journal articles. At least 80% of the references should have been published within the last five years, where appropriate to the subject. Include DOI or stable URL information whenever available. All sources cited in the text must appear in the reference list, and all references listed must be cited in the manuscript. Use APA 7th edition consistently and manage references with Mendeley, Zotero, or EndNote.

Tables and figures must be numbered consecutively, provided with concise titles or captions, and referred to in the manuscript. Ensure that all visual materials are readable, relevant, and of sufficient quality for publication. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material.
