Manuscript Preparation Guidelines
Manuscript structure
1. Title. The title should be short, clear, and informative but no more than 15 words. The title should be appropriate to the issue being discussed. The title should not contain any uncommon abbreviations. The main idea should be written first and followed by its explanation;

2. Author's name and institution. The author's name should be accompanied by the author's institution and email address, without academic titles or positions;

3. Abstract. The abstract is written in Indonesian and English. The abstract is made in one paragraph and consists of background, objectives, research methods, results, and conclusions;

4. Keywords. Include three to five keywords that are relevant and specific to the article but general enough in the discipline under study; use lowercase except for names (3-5 words/phrases);

5. Introduction. This section contains sufficient background and a brief literature survey to note existing solutions/methods, to indicate which are the best of the previous studies, to indicate the main limitations of the previous studies, to indicate what you hope to achieve (to overcome the limitations of the previous studies), and to indicate the scientific merit or novelty of the paper. Avoid a detailed literature survey or summary of results. In the end, the author should state the purpose of the article;

6. Methods. Methods contain a description of the research approach, research subjects, research materials and instruments, data collection, and analysis techniques. This section should inform the reader about the type and methods used by the author. In this section, avoid quoting definitions directly from books or other sources;

7. Results and Discussion. Results should be clear and concise. Results should summarise the (scientific) findings rather than provide the data in great detail. Please highlight the differences between your results or findings and previous publications by other researchers. The discussion should explore the significance of the results, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citation and discussion of published literature. The discussion is the most important part of your article. Make the discussion relevant to the results, but do not repeat the results. Often, the discussion should begin with a summary of the main scientific findings (not the experimental results). The following components should be included in the discussion: How do your results relate to the original question or objective outlined in the Introduction (what)? Do you provide a scientific interpretation for each result or finding you present (why)? Are your results consistent with what other researchers have reported (what else)? Or are there any differences? This section may be supplemented with tables, figures, graphs, or schematics. All tables, figures, graphs, or schemes should be centred, numbered consecutively (Table 1, Table 2, etc.), named, and presented above the table. Related text should mention the table, figure, graph or scheme. This section uses Palatino Linotype font size 12 pt with 1.5 cm spacing. While the writing of tables/figures/graphs/schemes uses 11 pt Palatino Linotype font with single spacing;

8. Conclusion. The conclusion should answer the research objectives and research findings. This section should be written briefly, clearly, and concisely based on the research findings and discussion presented in paragraph form (not numbers). The conclusion should not just repeat the results and discussion or the abstract. You should also suggest future research and point out current research;

9. Acknowledgements (if applicable). In this section, you can mention any support not covered in the author contributions or funding section. This can include administrative and technical support or in-kind donations (for example, materials used for experiments);

10. References. The literature in "References" contains only those sources referred to or included in the article. Writing techniques should use reference management applications such as Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, Reference Manager, and the like to avoid typing errors and duplication of references by selecting Chicago Manual of Style 17th Edition type (full note). All reference sources must provide 80% of relevant journal articles, proceedings, or research results published within the last five years.
