Author Guidelines

Manuscript Preparation

Authors are required to prepare their manuscript in accordance with the following guidelines before submission. Manuscripts that do not comply with these requirements may be returned without review.

Language

Regardless of the language chosen, authors are strongly encouraged to have their manuscript carefully proofread for grammar, clarity, and consistency prior to submission. Authors writing in a non-native language are advised to seek assistance from a proficient speaker or a professional language editing service.

Manuscripts must be submitted in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) format. PDF files are not accepted for initial submission. Authors are required to use the official manuscript template provided by the journal, which is available for download on the journal website in both English and Indonesian versions.

Manuscript Structure

A complete manuscript should include the following sections in order:

  2. Abstract — Structured abstract of 150–250 words, covering: Background, Objective, Method, Results, and Conclusion.
  3. Keywords — 4 to 6 keywords, separated by semicolons.
  4. Introduction — Background, state-of-the-art review (including relevant prior studies, foundational theories, and conceptual frameworks), research gap, and objectives. The state-of-the-art review must be integrated within this section and must not be presented as a separate section.
  5. Method — Research design, data collection, and analysis procedures.
  6. Results — Findings presented clearly with tables or figures as appropriate.

  10. References — Formatted according to APA 7th Edition.

Note: The state-of-the-art review, theoretical foundations, and conceptual frameworks must be integrated within the Introduction section. A separate section for related work, background theory, literature review, or theoretical framework is not permitted.
