You have to use Satwika template to prepare your article. Satwika accepts research manuscripts which have not been published and are not currently in the process of scientific publication elsewhere. The manuscript texts are written in English or bahasa Indonesia. The main text of a manuscript must be submitted as a Word document (.doc) or Rich Text Format (.rtf). Journal templates can be downloaded at the journal website. 

The manuscript well-typed in a single column on A4 size paper, use 12 pt of Times New Roman. The manuscript contains an original work and has potentially contributed to the highly scientific advancement. Minimum number of words is 5000. 

The manuscript should contain the following section in order:

a. Title

The title should describe the main content of article, be informative, concise, be accurate, unambiguous, specific, not too wordy (12-14 words only), does not contain formulas, and infrequently-used abbreviations. This is your opportunity to attract the reader’s attention. Remember that readers are the potential authors who will cite your article. Identify the main issue of the paper.

b.   The author  name

A full name without academic degrees and titles, written in capital letters. Manuscript written by groups needs to supplemented by complete contact details use 11 pt of Cambria.

c.   Name of affiliation for each author

The author name should be accompanied by complete affiliation address and corresponding email use use 10 pt of Cambria.

d.   Abstract

Abstract, which comprised of approximately 250 words, provides a brief description of research problems, aims, the method used,  results, and conclusion. 3 to 5 keywords must be written to describe the research scope observed as well as the main terms undergirding the research. These keywords can be single and/or combined words. Cambria, Font size 10, single line spacing, 0 pt after spacing. Key words: Written in Bahasa Indonesia and English, written alphabetically.

e.   Introduction

The introduction must be written in single line spacing. The introduction comprises of: (1) background, 2) novelty, 3) literature review, 4) research gap, 5) research aims/purposes, 6) research contribution.

This section is written for a maximum of 20% of the total article section. All referenced sources must be listed in the bibliography.

According to Armagan (2014), the introduction section comprises the first portion of the manuscript, and it should be written using the simple present tense. Additionally, abbreviations and explanations are included in this section. The main goal of the introduction is to convey basic information to the readers without obligating them to investigate previous publications and to provide clues as to the results of the present study (references should be selected from the updated publication with a higher impact factor, traceable, and prestigious source books). To do this, the subject of the article should be thoroughly reviewed, and the aim of the study should be clearly stated immediately after discussing the basic references.

This template format was made in MS Word (.doc) which then been saved in Rich Text Format (.rtf) and can be downloaded in http://ejournal.umm.ac.id/index.php/JICC. It enables the authors to prepare their manuscripts which meet the Satwika conditions properly.

f.    Methods

The method section should be brief, clear, concise, and pithy. The method contains an explanation of (a) the type of research, (b) the research approach, (c) data and data sources, (d) data collection techniques, and (e) data analysis techniques. Specifics (if any) can be explained in the section on this method. This section is written a maximum of 10% of the body of the article.

The specification and type of tools and materials must be written in case the researches have been conducted by using them.

The qualitative research, such as ethnography, case studies, and so forth, need to mention the researcher attendance, research subject, and participated informants, as well as the methods used to explore the data, research location, research duration, and the description of research results validation.

It is suggested that the authors avoid organizing the article content into the smaller parts than the second subheading in this section. However, in the case of unavoidable factors, the writing style must follow the “Results and Discussion” section.

g.   Results and Discussion

To make it easier for reader, the results and discussion are not separated in writing. Results and discussion must answer the problem and research objectives. Results and discussion subtitles are presented separately. The discussion is the part that has the largest portion in the body of the article, at least 60% of the entire article.

The results section contains the data analysis exposure. The author can describe the results of the research that have been adjusted to the objectives or problems being studied, and are based on the procedures described in the method section. Results can be presented in the form of tables of numbers, graphs, verbal descriptions, characteristics, statistical analysis, hypothesis testing that has been adjusted to the characteristics of the study. Tables, graphics, or pictures shouldn't be too long, too big, or too many. Authors should use variations in the presentation of tables, graphs, or verbal descriptions. The tables and graphs presented should be referenced in the text. The way of writing the table is shown in Table 1. The table does not contain vertical lines (upright). The font size for table and figure entries may be reduced.

The discussion section is the most important point of the whole study. The discussion is given a portion of 60% of the total writing. The discussion is intended to interpret the research results according to the theory used and not just explain the findings. The discussion must be enriched by referring to relevant research results that have been published in scientific journals. In addition, the discussion should show the novelty and significant findings of the research carried out. The discussion can be presented in subsections and subsections according to the objectives and problems systematically. To facilitate understanding, the parts that must be present in the results and discussion include:

1. Present the findings
2. Comparing findings with previous research
3. Comparing results and theories
4. Answer what / how are the objectives outlined in the introduction?

h.   Conclusion

Conclusions must answer the problem, research objectives and contain recommendations or research implications. A conclusion is not a summary or a rewrite of the discussion section.

i.    Acknowledgement 

This section can be written in case there are certain parties need to be acknowledged, such as research sponsors. The acknowledgement must be written in brief and clear. In addition, avoid the hyperbole acknowledgment.

j.    References

Citation and referencing must be written based on APA style 6^th Edition which is organized by using Mendeley as referencing software latest version. To improve the quality of articles, we inform you that each submitted paper at least 25 articles reference from primary resources.

Citing an article written by two authors, both of authors  should be mentioned, however, for three and more authors only the first author is mentioned followed by et al., for example:  Andalas and Prihatini (2018) and Eggy et al. (2018).  A series of references should be presented in ascending alphabetical order (Andalas et al., 2011; Kitiarsa et al., 2014; Sulistyorini, 2017). Different publications with  the same author(s) and year will be presented separately, as follows  2015a, 2015b.   References of  unpublished data and personal communication should not appear in the list but should be cited in the text only (e.g., Iswatiningsih 2014, pers. com. (personal communication);  Susetyarini  2014, unpublished data). In the reference list, the references should be listed in an alphabetical order. Names of journals should be abbreviated. Always use the standard abbreviation of a journal's name according to the ISSN List of Title Word Abbreviations (www.issn.org/2-22661-LTWA-online.php). More or less 80% references  for  literature reviews should  be  the recent (up to date)  journals published in the last 10 years,  but the rest of  20% references  can be  cited from  research reports and or articles.
