1. Paper Title

When composing a piece of writing, it is vital to engage your reader right from the beginning. Remember that your intended audience is likely to consist of fellow professionals who may cite your work. To achieve this objective, it is essential to establish the primary issue that your article tackles, starting with the topic. Your headline must be accurate, clear, concise, and comprehensive, without resorting to rarely used abbreviations. The paper's title should be in 16 pt bold Calisto MT, justified, and centred. The title should have 12 pt spacing before and 3 pt spacing after.

2. Authors Name and Affiliations

When providing author information, please refrain from using titles and professional positions such as Prof, Dr, Production Manager, etc. Your last/family name should not be abbreviated, and your first and last names should always be included. Clearly state the affiliation of all authors (or name of the university), address, and country. To indicate the Corresponding Author (and their email address), please add an asterisk (*) in superscript behind their name. The bracketed number behind the name indicates the first, second, third author, etc.

Author names should be displayed in 12 pt Calisto MT bold, with 0 pt of space before and 10 pt after. Author addresses should be superscripted with numerals and centred over both columns of the manuscript. Author affiliations should be in 12 pt Calisto MT italics. Author emails should be in 12 pt Calisto MT. The body of the text should begin 2 lines (20 points) below the last address.

3. Abstract and Keywords

When crafting your abstract, it's important to remember that it should be able to stand alone and serve as an enticing advertisement for your article. Avoid technical jargon and uncommon abbreviations, and aim to be accurate, brief, clear, and specific in your language. It's also helpful to provide two abstracts, one in Indonesian and one in English, if possible. Keywords are equally important, as they serve as labels for your manuscript and aid in accurate indexing and searching. Use established abbreviations and separate each word or phrase with a semicolon, not a comma. Your keywords should accurately represent the content and highlights of your article. The abstract should be in one paragraph, 11 pt Times New Roman, italic, and justified. Abstract is in 100-300 words which is followed by 3-5 keywords separated by semicolon (; ).

4. Introduction

It is recommended that authors state their objectives at the end of the introduction section. Prior to this, a brief background and literature survey should be provided to showcase existing solutions, identify limitations of previous research, and demonstrate the scientific merit or novelty of the paper. While avoiding a detailed literature survey or summary of results, the introduction to conclusion should be a minimum of 5000 words. The main body of the text is written in 12 pt Times New Roman, justify.

5.Methods

It is important to provide clear and detailed methods or modes of critique that others can easily follow and replicate. If the method or mode of critique has already been published, you can simply reference it and only describe any necessary modifications. Explain also the signification of the method or mode of critique to the topic discussed. Avoid repeating details of established methods.

6. Results and Discussion

To effectively communicate significant findings, your results should be presented clearly and concisely. Rather than providing extensive data, the focus should be on summarizing key findings and highlighting any differences from previous research. The discussion section should explore the significance of the results and provide qualitative cultural interpretation, rather than simply repeating them. Consider combining the Results and Discussion sections for a streamlined approach. Start with a summary of the main findings before delving into how they relate to the original research question and objectives outlined in the Introduction. Scientific interpretation for each result should be provided, and any consistency or differences with previous research should be addressed. Overall, the discussion section is your opportunity to sell your data and its interpretation, and present its importance in the scientific community.

7. Conclusions

Effective conclusions are essential to research, as they should directly address the research objectives and demonstrate how the work contributes to the current state of knowledge in the field. Without clear and concise conclusions, reviewers and readers alike may struggle to assess the value of the research and its suitability for publication in a journal. It is important to avoid repeating the abstract or merely listing experimental results, and instead provide a strong rationale for the study or critique, as well as potential applications and opportunities for future research. Additionally, it is beneficial to suggest future experiments and highlight any ongoing research in the field.

8. Acknowledgment

When acknowledging the contributors to your research, it is important to recognize the funding supporters who provided financial assistance. In addition, it is also crucial to acknowledge the individuals who have assisted you in your study, including advisors, proofreaders, typists, and suppliers who have contributed materials. These supporters played a vital role in the success of your research, and their contributions should be acknowledged accordingly.

9. References

Citations and references are written according to the American Psychological Association (APA) 7th edition style. 

Cite the main scientific publications on which your work is based. Cite only items that you have read. Do not inflate the manuscript with too many references. Avoid excessive self‐citations. Avoid excessive citations of publications from the same region. Check each reference against the source (author's name, volume, issue, year, DOI Number). Please use Reference Manager Applications like EndNote, Mendeley, Zotero, etc. Use other published articles in the same journal as models.

All publications cited in the text should be included as a list of references. References are sequentially numbered as they appear in the text. Reference numbers are indicated in square brackets. Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list but may be mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the reference list they should follow the standard reference style of the journal and should include a substitution of the publication date with either “Unpublished results” or “Personal communication”. The citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication.

As a minimum, the full URL should be given and the date when the reference was last accessed. Any further information, if known (DOI, author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list.

Please ensure that the words 'this issue' are added to any references in the list (and any citations in the text) to other articles in the same Special Issue.

This journal has standard templates available in key reference management packages EndNote (http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp), Reference Manager (http://refman.com/support/rmstyles.asp), or Mendeley (http://www.mendeley.com). Using plug-ins to word processing packages, authors only need to select the appropriate journal template when preparing their article and the list of references and citations to these will be formatted according to the journal style, which is described below.

Recommendations for references are:

• Include ALL authors. et al., for multiple authors is not acceptable.
• When referencing in the body of text, use 12pt Times Roman in square brackets [1].
• Types of references are as follows:
• For a Book, see [1]
• For a Journal Article, see [2]
• For a Magazine Article, see [4]
• For a Proceedings Paper, see [5]
• For a Technical Report, see [6]
• For a Dissertation or Thesis, see [7]
• For an Internet Reference, see [8]

When preparing your reference list, the following should be avoided:

• References not cited in the text.
• Excessively referencing your own work.
• Insufficiently referencing the work of others.

It is also preferable when Authors give DOI number of each reference list in bracket [3], but it is optional for Authors. References list must be written consistently, whether the journal titles are written in short or in long format. For short title of journals, please follow the standard here:
