Author Guidelines

Manuscripts may be research articles or review articles and must be submitted in Microsoft Word format. Manuscripts may be written in Indonesian or English and must adhere to standard formatting. Manuscripts should be typed on A4 paper using a single-column layout.

1. Title

• Length & Conciseness: The title must be direct, informative, and limited to 12–15 words in English (or 14–18 words in Indonesian).
• Keywords in Title: Incorporate main research variables, target domain, or key concepts directly into the title to optimize Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and indexing visibility.
• Capitalization & Formatting: Use Title Case formatting (capitalize the first letter of major words). Avoid non-standard acronyms, abbreviations, chemical formulas, or technical jargon.

2. Abstract & Keywords

Abstract Requirements

• Word Limit & Structure: Written as a single, self-contained paragraph of  250 words.
• Core Components: Must include four primary elements: (1) Background/Objective, (2) Research Method, (3) Key Results/Findings, and (4) Practical/Theoretical Implications.
• Language & Tense: Written in clear English using past tense for methods and results, and present tense for general background and conclusions.
• Exclusions: Do not include literature citations, mathematical equations, figures, tables, or undefined acronyms in the abstract.

Keywords

• Quantity & Selection: Provide 3 to 5 relevant words or phrases, arranged alphabetically and separated by semicolons.
• Indexing Specificity: Select terms that reflect the discipline, methodology, and core focus area to improve discoverability in scientific databases like Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.

3. Introduction

• Background & Context: Provide a clear overview of the research landscape and state-of-the-art literature relevant to the research topic.
• Research Gap: Identify the current limitations, contradictions, or missing elements in existing scholarly literature that this research addresses.
• Novelty & Contribution: Explicitly state the novel aspect, unique approach, or distinctive theoretical/practical contribution of the manuscript.
• Research Objective: End the introduction with a clear, unambiguous statement of the research objective or target research questions.

4. Research Method

• Methodological Clarity: Provide sufficient detail so that other researchers can replicate the experiment or research workflow precisely.
• Essential Elements: Clearly detail: (1) Research design/approach, (2) Population, sampling techniques, or dataset sources, (3) Data collection instruments and tools, and (4) Data analysis procedures and statistical models.
• Established vs. Novel Methods: Briefly cite standard methods with references; describe novel or significantly modified protocols in detail.

5. Results and Discussion

Results

• Data Presentation: Present empirical findings logically using well-formatted tables and clear figures. Avoid duplicating data across text, tables, and charts.
• Objective Reporting: Describe statistical outputs, trends, and key data points objectively without qualitative speculation.

Discussion

• Synthesis & Interpretation: Interpret the results in depth rather than merely restating the statistical figures.
• Comparison with Literature: Compare findings directly with prior research cited in the Introduction to highlight consistent patterns or discrepancies.
• Theoretical & Practical Implications: Explain why the findings occurred and discuss their broader scientific, managerial, or practical implications.
• Research Limitations: Acknowledge methodological or scope constraints transparently.
• Table and Picture : Tables and figures must be cited in the text. Tables must be prepared in Excel format and submitted in a file separate from the text. Tables must be numbered sequentially. Table titles should be concise yet comprehensive, with the first word capitalized.

6. Conclusion

• Direct Answers: Provide a concise summary that directly answers the research objectives established in the Introduction.
• Synthesis over Summary: Do not simply copy-paste sentences from the Results and Discussion section. Synthesize key takeaways.
• Limitations & Future Work: State major study limitations and offer concrete recommendations for future research directions.

7. Acknowledgments

• Funding & Grants: Explicitly mention grant agency names, grant numbers, and project codes supporting the study.
• Individual Contributions: Acknowledge technical assistants, institutional support, data providers, or advisors who contributed to the manuscript but do not meet authorship criteria.
• Artificial Intellegence (AI) Usage Statement : A statement from the author is required if AI assistance was used in writing the manuscript. The policy regarding AI usage can be found in the “Journal Information” section.
