Main Article

Manuscripts submitted to this journal should have the followimg main headings:

1. Introduction

Articles written with a maximum of 20 pages and should be written a maximum of 25 percent of the number of pages and must be written in single line spacing, Cambria 12. The introduction comprises of: (1) research problem; (2) insight and problem solve planning; (3) summary of theoretical studies and the results of the present study (state of the art), related to the observed problems (gap analysis), and (4) research aims.

2. Methods

This section explains how the research was carried out. The method should be written a maximum of 15 percent of the total number of pages of the article. The main materials must be written here: (1) research design; (2) population and sample (research objectives); (3) data collection techniques (4) and data analysis techniques.

If there is a mathematical equation it must be numbered in ordinary brackets and must be referred to in writing. Mathematical equations are numbered with numbers inside the open-close parenthesis in the right-aligned position. The equation is written jutting into the right hand side. Writing equations should use the equation menu, it is not recommended that the equation be in the form of a scan or screenshoot.

3. Results and Discussion

The author needs to report the results in sufficient detail so that the reader can see which statistical analysis was conducted and why, and later to justify their conclusions.

Reporting results: The author may assume that the reader has a working knowledge of basic statistics

The discussion of article aims to: (1) answer the problems and research questions; (2) show the ways the findings obtained; (3) interpret the findings; (4) relate the finding results to the settled-knowledge structure; (5) bring up new theories or modify the exist theories.

The following components should be covered in discussion: How do your results relate to the original question or objectives outlined in the Introduction section (what/how)? Do you provide interpretation scientifically for each of your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results consistent with what other investigators have reported (what else)? Or are there any differences?

Research results must be clearly concluded in answering the research questions. Interpretting the findings should be done by using logics and present theories. The findings in form of facts found in the research fields are integrated to previous researches or present theories. This must be supported by reliable references. In case the researchers bring a new theories, the old theories can be confirmed or rejected, or modify the old theories.

Results and discussions should be written a maximum of 50 percent of the total number of pages of the article. The contents of the discussion are not allowed to use bullet and numbering but are arranged in the form of paragraphs.

4. Conclusion

The conclusions are not a summary of the results of the study and emphasize important findings. Align with the statement of research objectives, there is no need for a number or bullet system. Make generalizations carefully, but also note the limitations of the findings.

5.  References

Literature / reference sources are libraries published in the last 10 years and consist of at least 15 sources of reference, of which 80% are primary sources (research in journals). Also, the authors should avoid excessively referencing their work (self-citation). Citation and referencing must be written based on APA style 7th Edition which is organized by using Mendeley software latest version (See Mendeley).

References are referenced from international reputable databases (we prefer). These databases include Sciencedirect (https://www.sciencedirect.com/), Springer link (https://link.springer.com/), Taylor and Francis (https://tandfonline.com/), Sage Publishing ( https://journals.sagepub.com/) etc.

Citation Guidelines

A basic format to list the reference documents as follows:

1. The reference list is arranged in alphabetical order by the authors’ last names
2. If there is more than one work by the same author, order them by publication date, oldest to newest
3. If there is no author, the title moves to that position and the entry is alphabetized by the first significant word, excluding words such as “A” or “The.” If the title is long, it may be shortened when citing in the text.
4. The first line of the reference list entry is left-hand justified, while all subsequent lines are consistently indented.
5. Use “&” instead of “and” when listing multiple authors of a source.
6. Capitalize only the first word of the title and the subtitle, if there is one, plus any proper names – i. e. only those words that would normally be capitalized.
7. Italicize the title of the book, the title of the journal/serial and the title of the web document.
8. For any non-English articles, please write down the translation of the article in brackets [ ] after the original article’s title. Note that the original article should be written in italics.

Do not create separate lists for each type of information source
