Research Title
The title must be concise and informative, describe the research results and variables, and the relationship between these variables can be seen in the title. The title of the article should be a maximum of 12 words.

Abstract

The abstract is a brief and comprehensive summary that describes the overall content of the scientific article. This section should provide readers with a clear overview of the research, including the background of the problem, the research objectives, the methods employed, the main findings, and the principal implications or conclusions derived from the study. The abstract must be written in a single paragraph without subheadings, using concise, clear, and informative language that adequately represents the substance of the research.

In general, the abstract should include several essential components: (1) a brief background or research problem, (2) the objective of the study, (3) the research method or approach used, including data collection and data analysis techniques, (4) the main findings of the study, and (5) the primary conclusions or implications of the research. Authors are advised not to include citations, tables, figures, or overly technical explanations in the abstract.

The ideal length of an abstract ranges from 150 to 250 words. The abstract must be written using Century Gothic font, size 8.5 pt, in a single-column format in accordance with the journal template. If foreign terms that have not yet been standardized in Indonesian are used, they should be written in italic form.

I. Introduction
This section contains background, research reasons, problem formulation, statement of purpose, and writing organization. The writing does not use subtitles (sub-headings). The introductory section also includes a theoretical framework. The theoretical framework can use the name of the theory or method that will be used. The theoretical framework section contains the theoretical framework that will be discussed as a theoretical basis that will be used in the methodology to produce findings as results.

II. Method

The methods section explains in detail the procedures and approaches used in conducting the research, enabling other researchers to replicate the study. In this section, authors should systematically describe several key components of the research, including the type and approach of the study, research subjects or objects, data collection techniques, research instruments, and data analysis methods employed. Authors should clearly explain the research design, such as quantitative research, qualitative research, experimental studies, case studies, surveys, or other methods relevant to the research objectives. In addition, authors should describe the location and time of the study, as well as the characteristics of the population and sample or research participants, including the sampling techniques applied.

This section should also describe the research instruments used for data collection, such as questionnaires, interview guidelines, observation sheets, or documentation techniques. If specific instruments are used, authors should explain the procedures for instrument development, as well as the validity and reliability testing conducted to ensure the quality of the instruments. Furthermore, authors should outline the data analysis techniques used to address the research questions or objectives. These may include statistical analysis, descriptive analysis, thematic analysis, or other analytical methods relevant to the research approach. The methods section should be presented clearly, systematically, and concisely, and should not include research results. This section should be written using Century Gothic font, size 9 pt, in accordance with the journal template.

III. Results and Discussion

A. Results

This section presents the main findings of the study obtained through the processes of data collection and data analysis. The results should be presented objectively, systematically, and concisely, without extensive interpretation. The findings may be presented in the form of tables, graphs, figures, or descriptive explanations, depending on the characteristics of the data obtained.

Each table, graph, or figure must be provided with a sequential number and a clear title, and should be referenced in the narrative text to help readers understand the information presented. Tables or graphs should be used to clarify research data and should not merely repeat the same information already described in the text. Authors are expected to present analytical results that are relevant to the objectives of the study, such as statistical test results, data distributions, or other empirical findings that support the research arguments. This section should be written using Century Gothic font, size 9 pt, in accordance with the journal template.

B. Discussion

The discussion section contains an in-depth interpretation and analysis of the research findings presented in the previous section. Authors are expected to explain the meaning of the research findings and relate them to the research problems, research objectives, and relevant theories or concepts. The discussion should also connect the findings of the present study with previous research, whether supporting or contrasting, in order to demonstrate the scientific contribution of the study to the development of knowledge in the relevant field. In addition, authors may explain the theoretical and practical implications of the findings, as well as possible factors that may have influenced the results.

In this section, the discussion should be presented critically, logically, and systematically, without directly repeating the data already presented in the results section. The discussion should be written using Century Gothic font, size 9 pt, in accordance with the journal template.

IV. Conclusions

The conclusion section presents a summary of the main findings of the study that directly address the research objectives or research questions. The conclusion should be written concisely, clearly, and succinctly without repeating the detailed discussion presented in the previous section. Authors are expected to synthesize the key findings of the study and highlight the primary contributions of the research to the development of knowledge or professional practice in the relevant field. If necessary, authors may briefly include the implications of the research findings or provide recommendations for future studies. This section should be written in the form of a narrative paragraph using Century Gothic font, size 9 pt, in accordance with the journal template.

Acknowledgments (Optional)

This section is used to acknowledge individuals, institutions, or organizations that have contributed to the research or the preparation of the manuscript. Authors may include acknowledgments for institutional support, funding agencies, research partners, colleagues, reviewers, or other parties who provided academic, technical, or administrative assistance but are not listed as authors. If the research received financial support from a funding institution, the authors are expected to clearly state the funding source in this section. The Acknowledgments section is optional and should be placed after the Conclusion section and before the References section.

References

Reference sources should preferably consist of publications from the last ten years to ensure the relevance and currency of the cited literature. Priority should be given to research articles published in scholarly journals, conference proceedings, and scientific periodicals. Other sources such as textbooks or research reports (including Undergraduate Theses, Master’s Theses, and Doctoral Dissertations) may also be used; however, these sources should not exceed 20% of the total number of references cited in the manuscript.
