In general, journal articles will contain three to seven figures and tables. The same data should not be presented in both tables and figures. The research results are discussed to answer the formulated problems, objectives, and research hypotheses. It is recommended that the discussion focus on why and how the research findings occurred, as well as expanding on where the research findings can be applied.
i. Acknowledgements
Contributors who are not listed as authors should be acknowledged, and their specific contributions should be described. All sources of funding for this work should be acknowledged, including research funders and grant numbers (if applicable) for each source of funding.
j. Conclusion

k. References
The manuscript was written using standard citation applications (Mendeley/Endnote/Zotero). The APA 7th edition style (American Psychological Association 7th style) must be used. When citing articles written by two authors, both authors must be mentioned.

(personal communication); Indriyanti DR 2014, unpublished data). In the reference list, references must be arranged in alphabetical order. References in articles must number at least 15, with 80% being recent national and international scientific journal articles.
