Author Guidelines

 General Instructions

1. Articles should be formatted according to the writing pattern of scientific journals. The rules in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), Seventh Edition, should be followed. You may use Mendeley or Zotero reference management software and select the setting for the American Psychological Association (APA), 7th Edition. For an explanation of the APA Citation Guide, please see APA Referencing Style.

2. Articles should be original works, not previously published in any printed or online journal.

3. When the submission status (article) is under review or has been published for this journal, the author(s) will not be allowed to submit the article to another journal.

4. Submit the article to the editors online via the Open Journal System (OJS).

5. The number of words should be between 5500 and 7000, excluding references.

6. Tables or graphs must be in editable format (not screenshots, not Jpeg/png format).

7. The article must be written in English.

Particular Instructions

1. Title

The title should be concise, informative, and engaging. Keep the title no more than 12 words. It should be written in capital letters and positioned in the center.

2. Affiliation

Provide the short address of each author affiliation, including the city and country. (author's name is written in full name without title).

3. Abstract

The abstract should be written in both English and Indonesian. It is written in a single paragraph between 200-250 words, explaining briefly the Introduction, method, objective of the research, results, conclusion, and implications of the study. Do not use abbreviations and citations.

4. Keyword

Contains 2-5 concepts, organized in alphabetical order and separated using semicolons (;). Avoid using syllables that are too general or long.

5. Introduction

In the Introduction, the Authors should state the objectives of the work at the end of the introduction section. Before the objective, the Authors should provide an adequate background, and a concise literature review to record the existing solutions/method, to show which is the best of previous researches, to show the main limitation of the earlier researches, to show what do you hope to achieve (to solve the limitation) and to show the scientific merit or novelties of the paper. Avoid a detailed literature review or a summary of the results.

6. Methods

Materials and methods should enable readers to reproduce the research. Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. A reference should indicate methods already published: only relevant modifications should be described. Do not repeat the details of established methods.

7. Results and Discussion

Results should be clear and concise. The results should summarize (scientific) findings rather than provide data in great detail. Please highlight the differences between your results or findings and those of previous publications by other researchers. 

In discussion, it is the most critical section of your article. Here, you have the opportunity to sell your data. Make the discussion corresponding to the results, but do not reiterate the results. It is often advisable to begin with a summary of the main scientific findings (not statistical results). The following components should be covered in the discussion: How do your results relate to the original question or objectives outlined in the Introduction section (what)? Do you provide a scientific interpretation for each of your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results consistent with what other investigators have reported (what else)? Or are there any differences?

8. Conclusions

The conclusion should answer the objectives of the research. Tells how your work advances the field from the present state of knowledge. Without clear Conclusions, reviewers and readers will find it difficult to judge the work, and whether or not it merits publication in the journal. Do not repeat the Abstract or just the statistical results. Provide a clear scientific justification for your work, and indicate possible applications and extensions. You should also suggest future research and/or point out those that are underway.

9. References 

Provide a list of references in alphabetical order and prepared following APA Referencing Style (7th Edition). All the listed references must be cited in the text, and all text citations must be listed in the reference list. A DOI for each reference must be provided if available. Although authors are not obliged to do so, it is suggested that they use the reference application Mendeley (preferred by using Mendeley Desktop Version).

Table

The relationship between the tables or figures and the text should be clear. Authors must explain what the readers should look for when using tables or figures. All tables and picture captions are written with text. The arrangement and placement of tables and figures must refer to the APA 7th Edition about tables and figures. Tables and figures must be placed at the top or bottom of the page, not in the middle. Examples of how to display data in the form of tables or figures can be seen on the Article Template.
