ABSTRACT

An abstract is a brief summary of the entire article that includes five main components. First, the abstract should begin with a brief background describing the research problem in one sentence. Second, the research objectives should be clearly stated in one sentence. Third, the research method is briefly explained, including the type of research, research design, subjects or respondents involved, data collection techniques, and data analysis techniques. Fourth, the research results are presented briefly and concisely, describing the main findings of the research. Fifth, if possible, the abstract should include recommendations related to the research findings. The abstract should be written in one concise and clear paragraph, with a maximum length of 300 words, to provide a complete and easy-to-understand overview of the article to be read further. Typeface is Cambria 10pt and 1 space.

Keywords: Citation, Scientific Articles, Systematics (At least 3 keywords according to research)

 

INTRODUCTION

The Introduction should articulate the urgency of the research topic and the problem being investigated. It should also highlight the existing gaps or limitations in previous research and present the novelty or unique contribution of the current study.

To support these arguments, authors are required to include sufficient citations from relevant references, including both prior research and established theories. The references used must be from credible sources such as academic journals, books, or scholarly publications. Additionally, the research objectives must be clearly and systematically stated so that readers can understand the study's main focus and its potential contribution to the advancement of knowledge in the field. Appropriate citations are crucial for reinforcing the research's urgency and providing a clear context for the issues being discussed.

 

METHODS OF RESEARCH

In this section, you must provide a detailed explanation of the type and design of the study, including the rationale for choosing them. Clearly describe the research design, such as experimental, descriptive, correlational, or case study, and justify your selection.

Next, you need to identify the participants or subjects involved in the study, including their characteristics. This is crucial for understanding who the data sources are and how they were selected. The data collection techniques should also be described in detail, specifying whether you used interviews, observations, questionnaires, tests, or documentation, and explaining why these methods were appropriate for your research context.

Finally, you must explain the data analysis techniques used to process the collected data, such as statistical analysis, thematic analysis, or other methods suitable for your study type. This description of your methods must be clear and well-structured, allowing readers to understand the research process and evaluate the validity and reliability of your findings.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The Results and Discussion sections should be combined.

This section presents the findings of the study, aligning them with the stated research objectives. The results must be presented clearly, using tables, graphs, figures, or diagrams where necessary. For research and development (R&D) studies, an image of the final product should be included, especially content related to the research title. The discussion then interprets these results by comparing the findings with previous research or relevant theories. You should explain the implications of your findings for both theory and practice and mention the limitations of the study, such as constraints in the sample or methodology. Finally, based on the results and identified limitations, provide recommendations for future research.

The journal's table format is designed for a clear and professional appearance, featuring open tables with a 10pt Cambria font and single spacing. Each table must have a title placed above it. For figures or graphs, the title or caption should be placed below the image. Both tables and figures serve as supporting data and must be explicitly mentioned or referenced in the text to ensure their relevance to the discussion. This layout is intended to maintain visual consistency and help readers easily understand the presented data.

CONCLUSIONS

The Conclusion should be a single paragraph that clearly and concisely summarizes the core of the research. First, restate the research objective in a single, succinct sentence. Second, briefly and concisely present the main results or findings, highlighting the study's contribution to the problem being investigated. Third, mention the research limitations, such as constraints in the sample, methodology, or variables that may have influenced the results. Finally, provide recommendations for future research, whether for theoretical development, methodological improvements, or other aspects that warrant further investigation. The conclusion should provide a clear overview of the study's contribution and the direction for future research.

REFERENCES

For citing sources, it's recommended to use a reference management application like Mendeley with the APA 7th edition citation style.  Use a full-note system (no ibid). It is highly recommended that each reference include a direct and accessible link, such as a DOI (Digital Object Identifier), URL, or other permanent link.

When citing a two-author article, both authors should be cited, but for three or more authors, only the first author should be cited, followed by et al.

The bibliography should list relevant and recent sources used in the research. Make sure that every reference listed in the article is also listed in the bibliography.
