1. The Essential Title Page Information (one-colloum)

• Title: Identify the main issue of the article. Begin with the subject of the article. The title should be accurate, unambiguous, specific, and complete. Do not contain infrequently-used abbreviations. The title of the paper should be in max 20 words, 18pt, no bold, Title Case, center.
• Author Name: Write Author(s) names without a title and professional positions such as Prof, Dr, Production Manager, etc. Do not abbreviate your last/family name. Always give your First and Last names. The author name of the paper should be in 14pt, no bold, Capitalize Each Word, center.
• Affiliation and Address: Write clear affiliation of all Authors. Affiliation includes a name of university, address, country. Please indicate Corresponding Author (include email address) by adding an asterisk (*) in superscript behind the name. If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address' (or 'Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes. The Affiliation and Address name of the paper should be in 9pt, italic, no bold, center.
• e-mail addresses: Write all of the author's email in footnote 9pt (Calibri font) followed by an initial of the authors except the last name in bracket. For example: deliundip@gmail.com (D. Nirmala).

2. Abstract and keywords (right-colloum)

• The Abstract: (10pt) a concise and factual abstract is required (of between 100-200 words): The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. For this reason, References should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s).
• Keywords: (10pt) Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, "and", "of"). These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.

• INTRODUCTION (15-20% of the total article length)

  Authors should state the objectives of the work at the end of introduction section. Before the objective, Authors should provide an adequate background, and very short literature survey in order to record the existing solutions/method, to show which is the best of previous studies, to show the main limitation of the previous research, to show what you hope to achieve (to solve the limitation) and to show what scientific merit or novelties of your paper is. Avoid a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Do not describe literature survey as author by author, but should be presented as group per method or topic reviewed which refers to some literatures.

  Example of novelty statement or the gap analysis statement in the end of Introduction section (after state of the art of previous research survey): “........ (short summary of background)....... A few researchers focused on ....... There have been limited studies concerned on ........ Therefore, this research intends to ................. The objectives of this research are .........”.

• METHODS (10-15% of the total article length)

  The research method for research-based articles consists of description concerning the research design, data sources, data collection, and data analysis.

• RESULTS AND DISCUSSION (40-60% of the total article length)

  Results should be clear and concise. The results should summarize (scientific) findings rather than providing data in great detail. Please highlight differences between your results or findings and the previous publications by other researchers. The discussion should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.

  In discussion, it is the most important section of your article. Here you get the chance to sell your data. Make the discussion corresponding to the results, but do not reiterate the results. Often should begin with a brief summary of the main scientific findings (not experimental results).

  The following components should be covered in discussion: How do your results relate to the original question or objectives outlined in the Introduction section (what/how)? Do you provide interpretation scientifically for each of your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results consistent with what other investigators have reported (what else)? Or are there any differences?

• CONCLUSION (5-10% of the total article length)

  Conclusions should answer the objectives of the research. Tells how your work advances the field from the present state of knowledge. Without clear Conclusions, reviewers and readers will find it difficult to judge the work, and whether or not it merits publication in the journal. Do not repeat the Abstract, or just list experimental results. Provide a clear scientific justification for your work, and indicate possible applications and extensions. You should also suggest future experiments and/or point out those that are underway.

• ACKNOWLEDGEMENT (5-10% of the total article length)

  Recognize those who helped in the research, especially funding supporter of your research. Include individuals who have assisted you in your study: Advisors, Financial supporters, or may another supporter, i.e. Proofreaders, Typists, and Suppliers, who may have given materials. Do not acknowledge one of the authors names.

• REFERENCES (10-15% of the total article length)

  Primarily taken from journals and in the last 10 years of publication. Management reference application, such as Mendeley, Zotero or Endnote, should be used by authors when citing a reference and creating the bibliography in the manuscript. The reference and citation should be APA (American Psychological Association) style. Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list. The in-text citation for instance, (Levinson, 1987); ...Chomsky (2009); (Aronoff & Fudemen, 2011); ...Hariyono & Carthy (2008); Arifin et al. (2012); (Isnawati et al., 2015) and please hyperlink to references with bookmark. The References with hanging indent and align left, for instance,
