The manuscript is well-typed in a single column on A4 size paper, using Arial Narrow. The manuscript contains an original work and has potentially contributed to the highly scientific advancement.

The manuscript should contain the following sections in order:

Title

The title should describe the main content of the article. The title of the article should be clear, specific, and informative. Stating the abbreviation and setting of the research is not recommended. This is your opportunity to attract the reader’s attention. Remember that readers are the potential authors who will cite your article. 

The author's name

It is suggested that the article be written collaboratively by two or more authors without stating the academic or non-academic title of the authors. Add code numbers 1,2,3 etc. at the end of the author's name if the author is from a different department or university

Name of affiliation for each author

Institution and E-mails of the authors should be stated. Authors 1,2,3 etc. must write the Study Program, Institution / University, City, and Country. The author must write an email to all of the authors. Add code a,b,c, etc at the end of each author's email

Abstract

The abstract should cover the background of the research, the objective of the research, research methods (type of research,  research plan, research population and sample, research instruments, research data collection techniques, and research data analysis techniques), research findings, and conclusion (10 pt with single space).

Key words:Your keywords should be specific and not exceed five words. A semicolon separates each keyword please write alphabetically

Introduction

Your introduction should include the following elements. (1) state of the art; (2) research gap/gap analysis; and (3) research objectives. State of the art explains the background of the research which is supported by recent conceptual references in the last 10 years. It is recommended to have as many references as possible in order to support the idea. The research gap/gap analysis should determine the importance and the novelty of the present research compared to the previous ones. The research objective should be developed based on the result of observation or previous research and the research gap. 5-10 well-structured sentences support each paragraph and these should be written in Arial Narrow with 12 pt and 1.15 pt

Research Methods

The research methods should be put into detail by considering the research instrument used to collect and analyze the data. The research design must be written in paragraphs, not in bullet points or sub-titles. The research methods should include (1) type of research, (2) research plan, (3) research population and sample, (4) research instruments, (5) research data collection techniques, and (6) research data analysis techniques. 5-10 well-structured sentences support each paragraph and these should be written in Arial Narrow with 12 pt and 1.15 pt.

Finding and Discussion

The findings of the research should be presented precisely. Tables and figures should be clear and proportional and not captured from other media. Each table and figure should be well-described before they are elaborated on in the paragraphs. The excerpt can be seen in the following (see Table 1 and Figure 1). Table and figure should not be used to explain the same information.

In the Discussion section, instead of repeating the aforementioned theories, authors are encouraged to put their arguments by comparing and contrasting the findings with some relevant previous research findings. The strengths and limitations of the research should be acknowledged in the discussion. 5-10 well-structured sentences support each paragraph and these should be written in Arial Narrow with 12 pt and 1.15 pt.

Conclusion

In this section, put your conclusion in well-structured paragraphs containing 5-10 sentences per paragraph. The conclusion should be written in paragraphs, not in bullet points, and should address the research objectives and positive recommendations for science and society. The conclusion of the research should be postulated conceptually and oriented to research findings in a specific manner that is supported by the data of the research. 5-10 well-structured sentences support each paragraph and these should be written in Arial Narrow with 12 pt and 1.15 pt.

Acknowledgement 

In this section, the author can state their gratitude toward some parties that have provided financial support (if there is any). 5-10 well-structured sentences support each paragraph and these should be written in Arial Narrow with 12 pt and 1.15 pt.

The references should be written using Mendeley with APA Style 7th Edition so that there would not be any references that are not written. Do not forget to include the DOI (if there is any) or URL of the article. Each reference is written in Arial Narrow with 12 pt and 1 pt.
