Author Guideline

Title of the Article

The article title should not exceed 14 words. It must be written in Times New Roman, font size 16, bold, justified, and in Capitalize Each Word format.

Author’s Name

The full name of the author(s) should be written without abbreviations, academic titles, or positions. Below the name, write the full affiliation of the author(s) and include the email address of the corresponding author.

Abstract

The abstract provides a concise overview of the entire article, consisting of five key components: (1) research problem and objectives, (2) research methods, (3) results, (4) discussion, and (5) conclusion. The abstract must be written in a single paragraph, without footnotes or references, single-spaced, with a maximum of 300 words in both Bahasa Indonesia and English, accompanied by keywords.

Keywords

Provide 3–5 unique words or phrases that are relevant and represent the article.

Introduction

The introduction should describe the background of the research problem, highlight related issues, and present the State of the Art (a concise review of relevant literature or previous studies, 1–2 paragraphs) to justify the novelty, significance, contribution, or originality of the article. References to journal articles from the last 10 years are required. Do not explicitly state “the purpose of this article is…” in the introduction. Sub-headings should not be used. The length of the introduction should not exceed 2 pages, single-spaced, Times New Roman 12.

Method

This section should include the type and approach of research, setting and time, research subjects, data/information collection techniques, and data analysis methods. The length should be 1–1.5 pages, single-spaced, Times New Roman 12.

Results

Present the data or information obtained and analyze them according to the research objectives. If the article involves experiments, the results should preferably be displayed in the form of graphs or tables. Captions for figures, graphs, or charts must be written in Times New Roman size 11, centered, and placed below the figure, while table captions must be placed above the table. Each table or figure must be numbered sequentially (e.g., “Table 1. Frequency Distribution...”), without referring to chapter numbers. All content in tables/figures must be clear and readable. Figures and tables must be cited in the text before being presented (avoid terms such as “below,” “above,” or “as follows”). Tables should use only horizontal lines at the header and bottom, avoiding unnecessary grid lines.

Equations must also be numbered. The description of symbols in equations should be presented in paragraph form, not as itemized lists. For example: “P denotes pressure (atm), m denotes mass (g), …”

Discussion

The discussion may include sub-headings according to the issues being addressed. Sub-headings must be written in bold. This section should provide a summary of findings, compare them with theories and current literature, and include reflection, implications, and recommendations for future research.

Conclusion

The conclusion should clearly indicate the results obtained, highlighting both strengths and limitations. It must synthesize the alignment between the research problem, objectives, and findings. The conclusion should adequately answer the research objectives. Implications or suggestions may be added (optional). Conclusions should be written in paragraph form, not as itemized lists.

References

The references must follow the APA 7th edition style (American Psychological Association). The use of a reference manager (e.g., Mendeley or Zotero) is highly recommended. At least 80% of the cited works should come from publications within the last 5 years.
