    We recommend that authors use reference management software, such as ZOTERO and MENDELEY.

The manuscript begins with: Title, Author's Name and Affiliation, Abstract (Indonesian, English), Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusions and Suggestions, and References, with the following details:

Title: Maximum 14 words as a summary or combination of independent variables with the dependent variable or a collection of other words that describe the relationship between observed variables. Titles are also listed in the English version. If the article is presented in English then the title is written only in English

Author's Name and Affiliation: Name is written without title, and the main author is the first author and corresponding author. Author Affiliations are written in full and emails are only listed for the corresponding author.

Abstract: Briefly describe the research results containing a minimum of objectives, methods and research results with a total of 200-250 words written in Indonesian and English with a minimum of 4 keywords. If the article is written in English, the English abstract does not need to be included.

Introduction: Contains the background, reasons and/or urgency of the research. References (relevant libraries or research) need to be included in this section, in relation to the urgency of research justification, the emergence of research problems, alternative solutions, and the chosen solution. How to write a source in the text needs to clearly include the name of the author and the source quote, namely the year of publication and the page where the manuscript is located. The introduction is written in Times New Roman 11 perpendicular, with 1 spacing. Each paragraph begins with a word that indents approximately 1 cm from the left edge of each column. The problem and objectives, as well as the usefulness of the research, are written narratively in paragraphs, there is no need to give special subtitles. Likewise, operational definitions, if deemed necessary, are also written narratives. The introduction also contains the State of the Art (review of literature or previous research studies) with the aim of justifying/strengthening the statement of novelty or scientific contribution and originality of the article. References to articles in this journal are a maximum of the last 10 years from primary sources to strengthen the justification for the originality or contribution of the research title. Before writing the research objectives, there must be a GAP Analysis or gap statement (originality) or a clear and explicit statement of the contribution of novelty, or what is the difference/uniqueness of this research compared to previous research, also what is important is that this research was carried out after the new research objectives were written in This article is straightforward and clear.

Method: Contains the type of research, time and place of research, goals/objectives, research subjects, procedures, instruments and data analysis techniques, and other matters related to research methods. Goals/objectives, research subjects, procedures, data and instruments, and data collection techniques, as well as data analysis techniques and other matters related to how to write research without sub-chapters. Fill in the paragraph text according to the method adapted to the type of research.

Results and Discussion: Research results are presented in graphical, tabular or descriptive form. Analysis and interpretation of these results are required before they are discussed. The data presented is not raw data but data that has been analyzed. The presentation of research results in tables and figures needs to be explained/reviewed but not discussed in detail. Tables are written in the middle or at the end of each text describing research results/acquisitions. If the width of the table is not enough to write half a page, you can write a full page. The table title is written from the middle to the left, all words are written in capital letters, except connecting words. If more than one line is written in one space. The result is an image or data created by an image/scheme/graph/presentation diagram that also follows existing rules; The title or name of the image is placed below the image, from the left, and is spaced 1 space from the image. If there is more than 1 line, the interline is given one space. The discussion focuses on linking the data and analysis results to broader research and theoretical problems or objectives. It could also be that the discussion is an answer to the question to explain why such facts are found in the data. A written discussion is attached to the data discussed. The discussion cannot be separated from the data discussed. The discussion is made to be supported by real and clear facts, and the elements (what else) whether there is conformity or conflict with the results of other people's research need to be explained as well.

Conclusions and Suggestions: Conclusions can be generalized findings according to the research problem, which can also be a recommendation for the next steps. Conclusions are written in paragraph form, not in list/item numbering form. Suggestions can be input for future researchers, and can also be implications of the research results.

Bibliography: Written in single space, 1 space between bibliography. Writing a bibliography uses the rules of the American Psychological Association (APA) Style. The number of reference sources used as a bibliography of scientific literature (80% primary references such as journals, research reports, and proceeding papers and 20% secondary references such as books, theses, dissertations, and internet sources. Use a reference manager such as Mendeley or others in compiling a library list.
