Author Guidelines
Abstract: Abstract should reflect the overall substance of the article content and be able to help the reader to determine its relevance to interest. Abstract is a general description of the research or the content of the article. Abstract in the form of paragraphs containing: research objectives, research methods and findings (suggestions). Abstracts are written in 2 languages (English and Indonesian), each abstract in 1 paragraph, 1 space apart, and with a number of between 150–200 words.
Keywords: contains important terms and substance of the article, written under the abstract in bold and italics.
INTRODUCTION: The introduction includes, among others, the background of the problem, the deepening of the problem, or the gap between the idealized and the actual, supported by the latest theories and research relevant to the problem, has new research value (or benefits) which are innovations, and ends with the research objectives. This section is written as much as approximately 20% of the body of the article including the title and abstract.
METHOD: This section describes how the research was conducted. The main materials of this section are: (1) research design; (2) population and sample (target of research); (3) data collection techniques and instrument development; (4) and data analysis techniques. For research that uses tools and materials, it is necessary to write down the specifications of the tools and materials. The tool specifications describe the sophistication of the tools used, while the material specifications describe the types of materials used. For qualitative research such as classroom action research, ethnography, phenomenology, case studies, and others, it is necessary to add the presence of researchers, research subjects, informants who helped along with ways to explore research data, location and duration of research as well as descriptions of checking validity of research results. This section is written up to a maximum of 10% (for qualitative research) or a maximum of 15% (for quantitative research) from the body of the article.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: This section must be at most part, at least 60% of the entire body of the article. Results can be presented in the form of numerical tables, graphs, verbal descriptions, or a combination of the three. Tables, graphs, or figures should not be too long, too large, or too numerous. Writers should use a variety of table presentations, graphs, or verbal descriptions. The tables and graphs presented should be referenced in the text. For qualitative research, the results section contains detailed sections in the form of sub-topics that are directly related to the research focus and categories.
The discussion is intended to interpret and interpret the research results in accordance with the theory used and not just to explain the findings. The discussion must be enriched by referring to or comparing the results of previous studies that have been published in reputable scientific journals and do not come from fake journals.
TABLES AND FIGURES: The way of writing the table is shown in Table 1. The table does not contain vertical (vertical) lines and horizontal (flat) lines only exist at the head and tail of the table. The font size of table and figure entries can be reduced. The numbers in the table should not be repeated in the verbal narrative either before or after.
How to quote:
Quoting or Writing references using brackets (...). For example one author: examples (Aslamiah, 2019) (Suriansyah, 2013) or Wiyani (2014) or (Sujiyono YN, 2012). If there are two authors: examples (Suriansyah & Aslamiah, 2015) or (Putra, N & Dwilestari, 2013).
If there are three to five authors, the first mention is written all: for example (Ngadimun, Purwanti, Suriansyah, & Maimunah, 2019) the next mention is written (Ngadimun et al., 2019) or (Rachmi, Yusrafiddin, Purnomo, Sopandi, Agus, 2009).
References can also be written with names outside of brackets, for example Suriansyah & Aslamiah (2015). If the referenced statement is a direct quote or certain fact, the page must be included: an example (Suriansyah & Aslamiah, 2015:14) or if it takes substance from several pages: an example (Suriansyah & Aslamiah, 2015:14-16).
If an abstract statement is taken from several references, all sources are written by mentioning all references in alphabetical order and a semicolon (;) to separate the sources; examples (Shen, 2009; Depari et al., 2018; Juanda, 2019; Ngadimun et al., 2019).
Note: Source of citation in the form of articles (national or international journals) is 60% to support the author's findings.
CONCLUSION: This section is written as much as a maximum of 10%. Conclusions can be generalizing findings according to research problems. Suggestions can be in the form of input for the next researcher, it can also be implicative recommendations from research findings.
REFERENCES: The bibliography is sorted alphabetically. Everything that is referenced in the article must be written in the bibliography and vice versa, everything that is written in the bibliography must be referenced in the article. Reference library sources should come from journals rather than books or proceedings (using the American Psychological Association or Mendeley citation format).
