Title consists of:

  1. Title: no more than 16 words. Author(s) name: is fully writen without any title. Institution: is completely stated, including the study program and the institution name. Corresponding author : email address
  2. Abstract; The abstract should succinctly present the research background, objectives, methods, conclusions, and implications. The English abstract must be an accurate translation of the Indonesian abstract. Keywords should follow the abstract in both languages and describe the scope of the study and key terms relevant to the research. Keywords may be single or compound words, typically numbering 3–5, and facilitate the computerization and indexing of the research title and abstract. Keywords: Keyword1; Keyword2; Keyword3; Keyword4; Keyword5
  3. INTRODUCTION:  The content of the introduction must include: firstly, a presentation of the main research or study topics; secondly, a review of the latest literature, citing relevant research from the past ten years that aligns with the subject of the article; thirdly, an identification of gaps in the existing research, inconsistencies, or controversies within the current literature; fourthly, a clear statement of the problem, the purpose of the research or study, its context, and the unit of analysis employed; and finally, an outline of the structure of the article.
  4. METHOD;This section should describe the research or study's steps in detail, justifying the method's reliability and validity in yielding credible findings. The methods section should explain the research procedures, tools, materials, media or instruments used, research design, population and sample (or research targets), data collection techniques, instrument development, and data analysis methods. Headings within the methods should be incorporated into paragraphs rather than presented as bullet points or numbered lists. For qualitative research, such as classroom action research or case studies, include information on the researcher’s presence, subjects, informants, data collection methods, research location and duration, and strategies for verifying findings.

  5. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

    Result 

    The main provisions for presenting research or study findings include the following: findings should be presented concisely, with sufficient detail to support the conclusions. Tables or figures may be utilised, but information should not be duplicated. A narrative must accompany each table or figure to help readers understand its content. Each research finding or study should be interpreted appropriately, adhering to standard spelling conventions. Processes such as statistical calculations or hypothesis testing are not required; only the results of these analyses and tests should be reported. Authors are encouraged to use tables or graphs to visually represent the results, complemented by narratives or comments referencing previous research published in reputable scientific journals, both internationally and nationally. Figures and tables must be centred consistently on the page, with tables numbered and titled at the top, and figures at the bottom. Each table or figure must be cited or explained thoroughly, ensuring that the explanation does not merely repeat the content within the table or figure.

    Discussion

    The discussion section aims to address the problem formulation and research questions, explain the process through which the findings were obtained, interpret the findings comprehensively, link the research findings to established knowledge structures, and propose new theories or modifications to existing ones by comparing the results with previous studies published in reputable journals. When discussing the problem formulation or research questions, the study's conclusions must explicitly connect to prior research. The interpretation of findings should employ empirical reasoning supported by existing theories or earlier research published in recognised journals, both international and national. Findings derived from real-world observations should be integrated with or linked to prior studies or established theoretical frameworks. To ensure academic rigour, authors are required to reference reputable journals, including those indexed in Scopus, Web of Science, Sinta, DOAJ, ProQuest, Dimensions, EBSCO, Copernicus, and Garuda Dikti. 

  6. CONCLUSION;  The conclusion comprises two paragraphs. The first paragraph summarises the research findings, aligning them with the research questions and objectives outlined earlier. If there are multiple conclusions, they should be presented in a numbered format within the paragraph rather than as bullet points. The second paragraph addresses the potential applications of the research findings and offers suggestions for future research directions. 

  7. REFERENCES; References should contain at least 25 references from scientific journal which recently 5-10 years.  The reference list should consist of at least 80% primary sources derived from national and international research articles, with a maximum similarity index of 30% as measured by Turnitin. A higher proportion of primary references enhances the article's quality; however, excessive self-citation may negatively impact the evaluation. Where possible, references should include articles from previous issues of the same journal. The bibliography must follow APA style, listing only the sources directly cited in the article and arranged alphabetically.

    Authors are required to use citation management tools such as Zotero, EndNote, or Mendeley to ensure that references and bibliographies adhere to the journal's formatting guidelines

     It is suggested the use of a reference manager, MENDELEY and ZOTERO
