The Guidelines for the Manuscript 

  1. The identity of papers requires: title, full name(s) of the author(s), affiliation (Institution, Country), e-mail, abstract (200 words, at least it includes: purpose, method, results of research, conclusion, impact), and keywords (3-5 words). The contents of the papers consist of an Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, and References.
  2. INTRODUCTION  states the article's purpose and presents an adequate background. The introduction should include the study's urgency, supporting evidence from previous studies, a gap analysis, a review of the current state of research, novelty, and the research objectives. Gap analysis means the gap found in earlier studies, while the status of the study is the position of prior research, whether it is correcting, debating, or supporting. They are written in one chapter without subtitles.
  3. METHODS. The method section describes the steps taken to conduct the research or study. Therefore, it is necessary to show in detail to the reader why the method used is reliable and valid in presenting research findings. The research methods section should be able to explain the research methods used, including how the procedures are implemented, an explanation of the tools, materials, media, or instruments used, an explanation of the research design, population, and sample (research targets), data collection techniques, instrument development, and the technique of data analysis. Writing subtitles in the method section should be included in the paragraph rather than using bullets or numbering. For qualitative research such as classroom action research, case studies, etc., it is necessary to add the presence of researchers, research subjects, and informants who helped, along with ways to explore research data, location, and duration of research, as well as a description of checking the validity of research results.
  4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. The study results presented are important data collected in the field (test results, questionnaires, interviews, documents, etc.). Tables, figures, or graphs can supplement research results to clarify the study's results. Avoid presenting similar data in separate tables. Tables, figures, and graphics must be commented on or discussed. All tables, figures, and graphics must be centered and numbered consecutively. For qualitative research, the results section presents detailed subtopics directly related to the research focus and categories. The discussion in the article aims to (1) answer the problem formulation and research questions, (2) show how the findings were obtained, (3) interpret research findings, (4) link research findings to established knowledge structures, and (5) bring up new theories or modifications of existing theories. This part of the discussion should contain the benefits of the research results, not the repetition of results. The analysis must address the stated gap. The study's results must be explicitly concluded by answering the problem formulation and research questions. Interpretation of findings is carried out using logic and existing theories. In the field, findings are integrated with the results of previous studies or existing theories. For this purpose, there must be a reference. When new theories are introduced, old theories can be confirmed or rejected, and some may need to be modified.
  5. CONCLUSION. The research conclusions are presented briefly, narratively, and conceptually, describing the research findings and their impact. Avoid using numbering and symbols (bullets and numbering). 
  6. REFERENCES. All references cited and written/quoted in the text are from primary sources (80% taken from national and international reputable scientific journals, 20% from other supporting sources). 

The Guidelines for Citations and References

  1. All the data or quotes in the article taken from the other author's articles should be attached to the reference sources.
  2. When writing citations and references, use citation management tools such as Mendeley, RefWorks, or Zotero (preferred), following the Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition (notes and bibliography).
  3. All references must be taken from the primary sources: journal articles from national and international reputable scientific journals indexed by SCOPUS, Web of Science, and Science and Technology Index (SINTA)/conference papers/thesis/dissertation, with at least 80% of the references used.
  4. The number of references is at least 20. References used should be published in the last ten years.
  5. Wikipedia, personal blogs, and non-scientific websites cannot be used as references.
