Author Guidelines

To assist authors, it is recommended to download and use the formatted template file as the writing format, so that authors only need to fill in the content.

INTRODUCTION

The introduction section contains an explanation of the scope, review of previous literature (state of the art, literature review), a statement of scientific novelty, and the research problem along with the objective of the scientific article. The first sentence of each new paragraph should be indented. References should be cited by including the source (e.g., Hidayat, 2019). If using citation software such as Mendeley, use the APA citation style.


METHOD

The method section includes a detailed explanation of the procedures, instruments, and analytical techniques used to address the research problem. For literature review articles, the section following the introduction is Problem Analysis, which contains an objective description of how the problem is addressed.


RESULTS

For scientific research articles, the section after the method is Results, which presents an objective explanation of the findings related to the research questions along with a scientific discussion. This section should include research data and findings, explained scientifically by addressing what, why, and how, supported by relevant scientific phenomena and comparisons with other research results.

For literature review articles, the Results section presents solutions or ideas addressing the problem, offering contributions or future insights, along with a scientific discussion.


CONCLUSION

The conclusion provides answers to the issues raised in the introduction. In research-based articles, the conclusion is a summary or answer to the research questions, based on the findings presented concisely. It is written in paragraph form.

In literature review articles, the conclusion is formulated based on the analysis of the problem-solving process and is also presented in paragraph form. The final part of the conclusion should mention the implications and further development of the findings.


REFERENCES

All citations mentioned in the text must be included in the reference list, and all items in the reference list must be cited in the text (citation-reference consistency). The reference list should primarily consist of primary sources such as journal articles, conference proceedings, dissertations, theses, and research-based books. At least 80% of the total references must be primary sources.

It is recommended that references used are published within the last ten (10) years, with at least 80% of the total references meeting this criterion. Older references (over 10 years) may be used when discussing the historical background or development of the topic. Excessive self-citation may reduce the scholarly value of the article.

The reference list should be arranged alphabetically using the American Psychological Association (APA) 7th edition citation style and managed using reference management software such as Mendeley.
