The Guidelines for the Manuscript Body Text

The title of the manuscript should be informative and written both briefly and clearly. It cannot have diverse multi-interpretations. It has to be pinpointed with the issues that will be discussed. The beginning word is written in capital case and symmetrically. The article title does not contain any uncommon abbreviations. The main ideas should be written first and followed by their explanations. The article title should be reported within 17 words. Meanwhile, the abstract has to be written within 200 words maximum and followed by three to five keywords.

Introduction. This section contains the introduction, literature review, and method.

The introduction uses Garamond or Minion Pro font, 12pt, line-spacing 1.15. The introduction contains at least five main points, including the reason for the research (social fact or urgent context, previous research, objectives, and hypotheses), each of which should be described in one paragraph of 10-15 lines. The first paragraph explains social facts, which explain why choosing an issue or phenomenon to study or research is crucial. The second paragraph explains facts about literature (previous studies or research) by grouping and explaining research gaps or shortcomings discussed in the issue or phenomenon being studied or researched. The third paragraph explains the evaluation of previous research as a basis for positioning the focus of the research being conducted. The fourth paragraph explains the questions and arguments (hypothesis) tested to answer or achieve the research objectives.

The Literature Review uses Garamond or Minion Pro font, 12pt, line-spacing 1.15. The literature review consists of at least three main concepts (following keywords or formal/material objects/study context), each of which describes descriptively (1) the definition/term or concept, or theory used and (2) explains it evaluatively of categorization, aspects, methods, and examples of the concepts or theories used. Thus, each concept should be written in two paragraphs. Each paragraph should be written in around 10-15 lines.

Method must also contain five recommended points or elements in three paragraphs; each paragraph should be written in 10-15 lines. First, explain why choosing an issue or phenomenon to be the research focus is related to the chosen method. Second, describe the type of research and data used. Third, explain the data source and how the data was selected. Fourth, explain what techniques or methods have been used to collect data. Fifth, explain the process and stages of data analysis that have been carried out. The method uses Garamond or Minion Pro font, 12pt, line-spacing 1.15. Authors are advised to use operational sentences and visualize the process or stages of analysis carried out in the research. 

Result and Discussion:

Result, a crucial part of our study, are presented using Garamond or Minion Pro font, 12pt, line-spacing 1.15. These results are directly relevant to the focus or research question and should be meticulously written in 10-15 lines. They encapsulate three key points, each instrumental in explaining the issue or phenomenon under investigation. Firstly, the results describe the problems or phenomena being researched or studied in detail. Secondly, the results demonstrate the factors influencing the emergence of the issue or phenomenon being researched or studied critically. Thirdly, the results show the implications of the issue or phenomenon being researched or analyzed in a transformative way.

Discussion, a comprehensive analysis of our findings, is presented using Garamond or Minion Pro font, 12pt, line-spacing 1.15. It encompasses at least five main points (summary, reflection, interpretation, comparison, and suggestions). As in the following guide, first summarizes all the data presented in the Results section; second is a thoughtful reflection that delves into the causes that arise or apply to the data concluded in the previous paragraph; third is an insightful interpretation that explains the consequences that arise or apply to the data that has been reflected. The fourth is a detailed comparison that highlights the differences between the findings and the research findings that have been conducted. The fifth is an action-oriented research recommendation in a conceptual, method, or policy context as a solution.

Conclusion: Conclusions are written use Garamond or Minion Pro font, 12pt, line-spacing 1.15. The conclusion should consist of three paragraphs, each of which should be written in 10-15 lines. The first paragraph contains essential findings that are relevant to the focus or questions asked in the research. The second paragraph includes the conceptual significance or contribution of the study, methods, or theories relevant to the research subject. The third paragraph contains research weaknesses, which will become recommendations for response by further research.

References: This part must list all the references used in the article. In this part, all the references must be taken from primary sources (80%) published in the last ten years. Each article should have at least ten references. The Bibliography uses the Mendeley or Zotero application, the American Psychological Association (APA) 7th Edition citation style, Garamond or Minion Pro font, 12 pt, 1 line spacing.
