The abstract must not contain citations, formulas, tables, and pictures. The number of words in the abstract is between 150 to 250 words, and written in one paragraph, font Book Antiqua 10pt, 1sp.

Keywords should reflect the content of the article to make it easier for readers to find the article. Keywords are not abbreviated and should use the terms that are the main issue of the entire manuscript. Keywords may consist of three to five words, written in Book Antiqua, 10pt.

Introduction

The introduction should contain the general information about the topic, the problem definition, gap analysis in the literature, problem solution, study motivation, aims and objectives, research questions, and significance and advantages of the research. Tables and figures are suggested to be avoided in the introduction. The introduction was presented succinctly. 

Methods

The method of the quantitative research must contain experimental setup, data collection, data analysis, statistical testing if any, assumption, and remit of the experiment; while the qualitative research must cover the setting of the research, including place, number and criteria of respondents, sampling technique, data collecting procedures, validating procedures, coding, interpreting, and representing the data or data analysis technique. Writing a formula must follow the international standards of notation and symbols, which is followed by the reference if it is cited from others

Results and Discussion

Results and discussion can at least include ”what?” which conveys results or findings from research and should be synchronized with the research questions, “why?” which answers the cause-effect relationship and should be supported by a theoretical framework.  There is a link between the results obtained and the basic concepts; “what else?” compare the results of your research with other research, suggested to provide implications for research results both theoretical and applied.

Results and discussion are written in a single unit. The author is not justified to separate the results and discussion, especially in the form of a new chapter. Results and discussion are sharply analyzed and interpreted one by one of the findings enriched with the relevant references from primary sources. The results presented in this section are net results. Data analysis processes such as statistical calculations and hypothesis testing processes are no need to be presented. Only the results of the analysis and the results of hypothesis testing need to be reported. Data should be represented accordingly using suitable tables, pictures, and graphs. All data presented should be supplemented with clear captions.

Conclusions include a summary of findings and future research recommendation. Conclusions emphasize the novelty of the discovery or development carried out, written briefly, concisely, and clearly. Future research exploration may be suggested for further research to be developed by other researchers and can be conveyed briefly and clearly in a new paragraph of the conclusion.

Acknowledgments (Optional)

Acknowledgments contain appreciation given by the author to those who have been contributed significantly to the research, both in the form of financial support, licensing, consultants, and assisting in data collection and analysis.

References

References are written in accordance with the citations in the article, a minimum of 20 references with more than 80% of primary sources from journals or proceedings published within the last 10 years. Font Book Antiqua, size 11pt, with line spacing 1sp, spacing after 3pt.
