  • Author's name and affiliation. The author's name must be listed along with their affiliation (write in full) and email address, without academic title.
  • The abstract is written in English, one paragraph with single space (maximum 300 words) without references or formulas. Keywords consist of 3-5 words or phrases (arranged alphabetically). The abstract contains a brief description of the background of the research (maximum two sentences), objectives, methods, main results, and conclusions.
  • The introduction is written with numbers and/or instructions. This section consists of (i) the nature and scope of the problem in a broader context (national, regional, international), (ii) a review of relevant literature, (iii) the significance/novelty/contribution of this research to knowledge, (iv) the purpose of this research. If there is a hypothesis, state it explicitly and not in an interrogative sentence. The hypothesis must be written efficiently and supported by references. A comprehensive discussion of relevant literature should be included in the discussion, not in the introduction.
  • Research Methods. This section should explain how the research was conducted. This section should be written clearly and completely containing a clear description of (i) population and sampling, (ii) measurement and data collection, (iii) analysis of variables and data. The research method should be quite detailed. For qualitative research, please adjust this method to scientific writing habits while considering the repetition of research. There is no need to write the analysis method in general (eg, F-test formula, t-test) but simply refer to your source. References to the original method/procedure should be mentioned, and all modifications to the procedure (if any) should be explained. Descriptions of model symbols are recommended to be written in the narrative.
  • Results and Discussion. The beginning of the results and discussion presents the data and facts found, calculated, and discovered. Data should be presented in Tables or Figures if possible. Tables should be clear and stand alone, providing complete information without text. Table and Figure titles should describe the facts described briefly and clearly. Symbols written in Tables and Figures should provide complete information and allow readers to interpret the results. Each Figure and Table should be referred to in the narrative. In the next section, the author must discuss the research findings.
  • This section summarizes the main findings and is written briefly. The conclusion is related to the introduction and objectives or hypotheses but does not repeat the discussion. The conclusion is written critically, logically, and honestly based on existing facts, and is full of warnings if there is a generalization. Recommendations show the significance of the results/findings or practical applications. This section, written in paragraph form, does not use numbering or points.
  • Acknowledgements (if necessary). This section contains thanks to the author for research funds, facilities, or suggestions and a statement if the article is part of a thesis/dissertation.
  • References contain a list of journals, books, or other publications referred to in this manuscript. Every reference cited in the text must be listed in the reference, and vice versa. Manuscript references must be traceable, no less than 40 pieces (consisting of 30 Reputable Journal titles), must be primary sources (80%), and not exceed 10 years (80%).
