Author Guidelines

INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS

1. Title: The title should be concise, specific, keyword-rich, and contextually clear (use Times New Roman font size 12 and bold)

2. Author Information: The name is written in Times New Roman font size 12 and bolded; if it is more marked, it should be 1, 2, 3, etc, then marked by the corresponding author.

3. Affiliation Information: Affiliates are written without abbreviation and not bold, continued by the state, and are marked with numbers 1, 2, 3, etc., if there is more than one affiliate.

4. Email Information: Writing email addresses in the order of the author's name and not in bold

5. Abstract: Abstract in English, written in one paragraph (150-250 words), includes background, objectives, research methods, findings, and conclusions. If relevant, the abstract can also mention research limitations, practical implications, and social implications.

6. Keywords: Keywords should consist of 3 to 5 words that best reflect the concepts of the paper. They should be separated by semicolons.

7. introduction: The introduction presents the fundamental assumptions as to why the research topic and title need to be addressed. It begins with a general background, followed by presenting data or theories either per sentence or paragraph. Then, it moves on to a more specific discussion, providing relevant data or theories in line with the specific discussion. Following this, the introduction highlights the uniqueness and urgency of the topic, explaining why it should be explored. This section fills the gap by offering a new method, which can be viewed from various perspectives: theoretical, empirical, field conditions, and methodological (Anggraeni & Abdulatif, 2021). This section usincludes the motivation behind conducting the research or writing on the topic, often framed as the research objective, such as "to understand," "to provide recommendations," "to evaluate," etc. References (relevant literature or previous studies) should be included in this section, particularly in relation to justifying the urgency of the research, identifying research problems, exploring alternative solutions, and selecting the chosen solution. Then, the novelty  of your research compared to other studies. The writing of the introduction can be done by citing sources within the text, where the author's name, publication year, and page number of the source are clearly indicated. For example: "The study found that more than 70% of students were unable to recognize authentic problems (Amaliyah & Rahmat, 2021)." The research problems, objectives, and significance are written in narrative form within paragraphs, without the need for special subheadings. Similarly, operational definitions (if necessary) should also be written narratively.

8. Research methods: This section outlines the type and approach of the research, research location, and provides details on the research subjects (for qualitative research) as well as the population and sample (for experimental and quantitative research). It also includes the research procedures (for experimental and quantitative research), research instruments, data collection techniques, data analysis techniques, and data validity techniques, all of which must be described clearly. The formulas used need to be clearly explained in quatitative research.

9. Results and Discussion: Results and Discussion is the core section of the scientific article, where the analysis combines or compares the research data with relevant theories or previous studies. In this section, the author must interpret the data clearly and thoroughly, demonstrating how the findings contribute to the understanding or advancement of knowledge in the field under investigation. The author should also identify the implications of these findings and discuss any differences or consistencies between their results and those of other published studies. Writing the results and discussion should be well-structured, logically flowing, and supportive of the research objectives set earlier (Aripin, 2021). When writing a scientific article, it is crucial to follow established formatting guidelines, including a total length of 5,000–6,000 words, using Times New Roman font size 12 with 1.15 cm line spacing, and A4 paper size with 2.5 cm margins on all sides (Ma’ruf et al., 2024). All foreign words or terms should be written in italic to indicate they are not in the primary language of the article. Furthermore, references included in the article should consist of 80% from published journal articles, with the remaining 20% sourced from books, adhering to specific guidelines regarding publication dates. Citations within the text should follow the appropriate style, such as including the author's last name and the year of publication, and the formatting of tables and figures must adhere to the prescribed layout to ensure consistency and clarity in data presentation.

10. Conclusion: The conclusion is the final part of a scientific paper, with the following guidelines: it should not repeat the main theory; it should summarise the research results or writing with the condition that it does not rewrite the discussion that has already been presented, but instead recounts the process and results in a different language. The conclusion should also be supported by relevant studies reinforcing the statements. Also, I would like to include the implications at the end of the conclusion.

11. Literature:

References should be written in alphabetical order, with the following guidelines: 75% of the sources should be from the last 5 years, and 25% from the last 10 years. References should be written in the American Psychological Association 7th edition style (it is recommended to use citation tools such as Mendeley, Zotero, EndNote, etc.)
