Manuscript Preparation Guidelines

General Organization of the Paper

 Please include the Cover Letter in a separate document file containing your summary of scientific findings and upload it in "Upload Submission”.

Section Headings

Three levels of heading are allowed as follows:

• Level 1 (Heading1 format) - 16pt, Cambria, Bold, Sentence Case, left-justified
• Level 2 (Heading2 format) - 12pt, Cambria, Capitalized Each Word, Number alignment (start form 1.), Bold, left-justified
• Level 3 (Heading3 format) - 11pt, Cambria, Sentence case, Number alignment (start form 1.1, or 2.1, or 3.1, etc.), italic, left-justified

Body Text

The body of the text is a set of body text paragraphs formatted as follows:

• 11pt Calibri
• One-half space, defined as 11pt
• Spacing after the heading is 12pt
• Spacing before the new heading is 24pt
• Indentation for the first line in the first paragraph is 0 cm. For the second paragraph onward, use an indentation of 0.75 cm.

Bullets

Bullet points and numbering within body text are not allowed. All sentences should be typed as descriptive paragraphs.

Tables

Tables should be numbered sequentially with the table title and number positioned above the table, left-aligned. Use a single space before and after the table name or source. Table elements should be single-spaced, but double spacing can be used to show data grouping or to separate sections within the table. Table titles and contents should be in 10pt font size and not bolded. Tables in the text are referenced with the table number (e.g., Table 1). The table title and column titles should appear on a single line above the table body.

Figures

Figures should be sequentially numbered starting from number 1 with figure title and number placed below the figure, as shown in Figure 1. Here are the detailed recommendations for figures:

1. Ensure that the figure is clear and readable with typed text.
2. Black and white or color figures are allowed.
3. Hard copy illustrations should preferably be scanned and included in the electronic submission in the appropriate format as follows:
4. BMP - Microsoft Bitmap File
5. WMF - Windows Metafile Format
6. EPS - Encapsulated PostScript

Non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should also be avoided, unless deemed necessary. In this case, the abbreviations must be defined at their first mention within the abstract. The abstract must consist of background, methods, finding, and conclusion.

Keywords are the terms researchers use to locate articles in indexes and databases. They consist of a maximum of five words, arranged alphabetically and separated by a semicolon. Each word or phrase in the keywords should be separated by a semicolon (;), not a comma (,).

Introduction

Provide an adequate background and context of the problems based on the literature review. State the objectives of the study and emphasize the originality (state of the art). The first part should contain a broader context, followed by more specific issues that become the study's focus. There is no theoretical background (literature review) section in this manuscript. However, authors must input the theoretical background in the Introduction Section. The theoretical background section establishes the foundation for your research. It presents relevant studies and theories that are directly connected to the research context. The theory can be informed through scientific articles, articles in journals, textbooks, or other respected sources of scientific writing. This theory will be used to provide the state of the art of your manuscript from research problems that have been proposed. After the theories are mentioned and discussed, you need to form a problem that demonstrates why this manuscript is important and existing gaps. You must write the purpose of the manuscript, which should be presented in a narrative using effective sentences. The formulation of the hypotheses should be based on the theoretical review and, as far as possible, be expressed in terms of one-tailed direction.

Methods

This section describes the overall research methods used in the research process. Provide sufficient detailed methods that allow the work to be reproduced. Established methods should be indicated by a reference; only relevant modifications should be described. Author should include the reason behind the decision of location and time of the research. It should be in line with the ontological and epistemological aspects of the research. For the research location, authors may add a map of the research area as long as it follows the cartographical standard. Avoid using third-party maps. See the example of the research location map in map example.

The method must clearly describe the materials used in the study, the population and sample or key informant, research variables, data sources, the general procedures and techniques, the data collection technique, the analysis method, and data presentation. For research using experiments, the method should also include the design or the setup of the research. For article review, authors should also describe the theoretical components. For qualitative method, authors may include the methods in data condensation (for example, coding system), data display (how the data is presented which allow for drawing conclusion), and conclusion drawing. For quantitative method, authors may include the methods in sampling, data collection, and data analysis.

Results and Discussion

Results and discussion section contains results obtained by the author during the research. The results of the research must be presented as a whole in advance, and can be followed by the process of discussion. Results and discussion of your manuscript must also be interconnected with the theory that you used. The discussion is presented systematically from general, then leads to the specific. Presentation of the research can be done with the help of tables, drawings/graphs, maps/plans, and schemes.

Results must be clear and concise. Discussion must explore the significance of the results. Adequate discussion or comparison of the current results to the previous similar articles is recommended to show the present research's positioning (if available).

Conclusions

This section presents the main conclusions of the study. It should be presented in concise, clear, and compact sentences based on the results and discussions; in the form of paragraphs (not with bullet points or numbering); clarify the findings of the study as a synthesis of the results of the data analysis and discussion; and highlight original findings that contribute to the development of science. The main conclusion of the study may be presented in a short conclusions section, which may stand alone. The conclusion should not repeat the results; instead, provide significant findings, contribution of the study, and the issue of this aim and scope towards this journal.

Acknowledgment

Acknowledgments are inserted at the end of the manuscript after the conclusion section. Individuals who assisted with the research should be listed here (e.g., providing language assistance, writing assistance, proofreading articles, etc.).
