Abstract

The abstract and keywords must be written in Indonesian or English between 120-250 words.

Introduction

The introduction contains (in order) general background, current review, statement of scientific novelty, and problems. At the end of the introduction, the purpose of the article must be written. For scientific purposes, no bibliography should be written here. This is realized in the form of a state of the art to demonstrate the scientific novelty of the research.

Methods

Methods can be written as a separate sub-section if the article is the result of research. This section is expected to describe the sources that have been used. Meanwhile, the methods can also be included in the introduction if the article is written using literature studies or reflective works.

Results and Discussion

The results and discussion can be presented with titles that are relevant to the topic. The presentation of research results is accompanied by tables, graphs, photos, charts, or other forms. Subheadings that describe the research results are written according to the following principles.

1. Written chronologically and systematically, described from beginning to end.

2. Facts are arranged systematically based on cause and effect (causal), factual events (processes), and factual consequences. A process usually has multiple causes or conditions that create the situation in which the event occurs.

Conclusion

The conclusion describes the problem that has been formulated. The conclusion is not repetitive but rather a summary of the findings of the problem.

Notes

These notes contain explanations of sources that cannot be included in the side notes. Additionally, this section also includes additional explanations from the content section.

References

All references cited in the article text must be listed in the References section and written in APA 7th Edition style. References must include sources, both primary and secondary. For citation purposes, the editor recommends that authors use reference management software such as Mendeley, EndNote, or Zotero, or others.

6. Quotations must be included in the references section. Citations are written in Bodynote and in APA Sixth Edition style. The text includes the author's last name, year, and page number, e.g., (Smelser, 1962: 22). Notes (Endnotes) are permitted to be written in annotations in the archive and explanations that may not be accommodated in the text.

Articles or books with more than one author should be written with the ampersand symbol (&) (Johnson & Laura, 2009: 10), and for two authors, the first author's name should be followed by “et al.” or “dst.” All references cited in the text must be listed in the reference section, and conversely, all references listed in the reference section must be cited in the text (Ritzer, et al., 2008: 110).

7. The reference list format should follow the Sixth Edition of the American Psychological Association (APA) style. The reference list should appear at the end of the article and include only literature that is actually cited in the manuscript. References are arranged alphabetically and chronologically.
