Abstract 

Write down your paper abstract in one paragraph, in the Italic style of font in 12pt Times New Roman, with a single space, no more than 250 words. The abstract is not an introduction, nor the conclusion of the discussion. The abstract should be typed as concisely as possible and should be composed of the problem statement, method, scientific finding results, and short conclusion. Other important matters discussed in the paper that significantly contribute to the final result of the research may be noted here, but you have to consider, however, the limited space of the abstract.

Keywords

Mention only specific concepts [word or phrase], 3-5 concepts, truly conceptual words, and not too general ones. Keywords are the labels of your manuscript and are critical to correct indexing and searching. Therefore, they should be well-selected and closely related to the topic to facilitate the reader's search, and they should represent the content and highlight your article. Use only those abbreviations that are firmly established in the field. A semicolon should separate each phrase in the Keywords (;).

Introduction

It includes the background of the problem, state of art at least 5 articles sourced from reputable international journals or accredited journals for a maximum of the last 10 years, gap analysis with previous research, novelty, and research objectives are clearly presented (expressed). All introductions should be presented in the form of paragraphs, not pointers.

Method 

The method section (with the proportion is 10-15% of the total article length) consists of a description of the type of research, research approach, data sources and legal materials, and data analysis methods. 

Findings and Discussion

Includes a description of the findings of the work that discusses sharply (What/How), its relationship with previous concepts/theories (Why), compares critically with the work of others, and strengthens or corrects previous findings (What else). 

Conclusion 

Answer the research objectives and collect new findings supported by sufficient research data, accurately and in-depth (only one paragraph).

References 

Every source cited in the body of the article should appear in the References, and all sources appearing in the References should be cited in the body of the article. The references should be more up-to-date (published in the last 10 years). The primary sources cited in your paper are in the forms of journal articles, proceedings, and research reports including theses and dissertations that can be accessed online (show the permalink/DOI). Citations from journal articles should be at least 80% of the total references cited. The References should be presented alphabetically and chronologically and be set to 12-pt Times New Roman font, justified, with single line spacing and hanging indent. Check each reference against the original source (author name, volume, issue, year, permalink/DOI number).
