4. Abstract

This section is written in English with italicized font. An abstract is a brief summary of the entire article that includes five main components. First, the abstract should begin with a brief background describing the research problem in one sentence. Second, the research objectives should be clearly stated in one sentence. Third, the research method is briefly explained, including the type of research, research design, subjects or respondents involved, data collection techniques, and data analysis techniques. Fourth, the research results are presented briefly and concisely, describing the main findings of the research. Fifth, if possible, the abstract should include recommendations related to the research findings. The abstract should be written in one concise and clear paragraph, with a maximum length of 300 words, to provide a complete and easy-to-understand overview of the article to be read further. Typeface is Cambria 10pt and 1 space.

5. Keywords

6. Introduction

This section should explain the urgency of the research topic and the problem being studied, highlight the gap or deficiencies in prior research, and present the novelty offered by this study. To support arguments, authors must include sufficient citations from prior studies and relevant theories related to the research topic. References should come from reputable sources such as journals, books, or other academically credible publications. Additionally, the research objectives must be explained clearly and systematically so that readers can grasp the primary focus of the study and its contribution to advancing knowledge in the field. Accurate citations can strengthen the research's urgency and provide a clearer context for the issues discussed.
This section should be written in Book Antiqua, font size 11 pt, 1.15 spacing, and justified alignment. Each paragraph should contain a single idea. A paragraph must have a minimum of three sentences and include a clear topic sentence. Spelling must comply with the general guidelines for the Indonesian language.

7. Methods

In this section, authors should describe in detail the type and design of the research conducted, along with the rationale for selecting the chosen research method. The research design, such as experimental, descriptive, correlational, or case study, must be clearly explained, including the reasons for its selection. Furthermore, authors should provide detailed information on the subjects or respondents involved in the research, including their characteristics. This explanation is crucial to understanding the data sources and how they were selected. Data collection techniques must also be described in detail, such as interviews, observations, questionnaires, tests, or documentation, along with the rationale for selecting these techniques within the study context. Finally, authors should explain the data analysis techniques used to process the collected data, whether statistical analysis, thematic analysis, or other appropriate methods for the type of research. This section should be clear and well-structured so readers can understand the research process and assess the validity and reliability of the results obtained.

8. Results

This is the core section of the article, where the authors present the research findings in a clear and logical sequence. The results presented are the outcomes of data analysis processes such as statistical calculations or testing procedures to achieve the research objectives. Authors must include supporting data such as tables, figures, or direct interview quotes to enhance the clarity and credibility of the results. This section must address the research objectives explicitly. No citations are to be included in this section. Standard deviations should accompany mean values. For R&D research, the final product image, especially content related to the study title, should be included.

9. Discussion

The Discussion section is where the findings are interpreted, connected to existing research, and critically analyzed. This section should explain how the results align with or differ from prior studies, linking them to relevant theories or literature. Highlighting the novelty of the research is essential, demonstrating how the findings contribute to the existing body of knowledge and advance the field. Authors should discuss the implications of their findings, both theoretical and practical, and provide insights into how these results can be applied in real-world contexts. It is also essential to address the study's limitations, such as methodological constraints or sample size, and discuss how these may have influenced the outcomes. Finally, authors should propose recommendations for future research based on the findings and limitations identified in the study.

10. Conclusion

This section must include several key points of the article. First, restate the research objectives briefly and clearly in a single sentence. Second, summarize the main findings, emphasizing their contribution to addressing the research problem. Third, highlight the study’s limitations, such as sample size, methodology, or variables that may have influenced the results. Lastly, it provides recommendations for future research, offering suggestions for theoretical advancements, methodological improvements, or other aspects requiring further exploration. The conclusion should deliver a clear and comprehensive overview of the study's contributions and directions for subsequent research.

11. References

The references section should list all cited sources in alphabetical order and use single spacing. Every reference cited in the article must appear in this section, and every reference listed must also be mentioned in the article. Authors must include at least 15 references, with a minimum of 80% sourced from journal articles and the remainder from other credible sources. All references must be uploaded into the Online Journal System (OJS).
It is strongly recommended that references published within the last five years be used to ensure the article reflects current knowledge and developments in the field. However, exceptions can be made for foundational references that remain essential to the topic despite age. These exceptions should be carefully selected to maintain the article's credibility and relevance.
