Category
Authors must categorize their manuscript as part of the manuscript information. The category which most closely describes their manuscript should be selected from the list below.
- Research article involves the construction or testing of a model or framework, action research, testing of data, market research or surveys, empirical, scientific or laboratory research.
- Review articles provides a comprehensive summary of research on a certain topic, and a perspective on the state of the field and where it is heading. Review article are often widely read (for example, by researchers looking for a full introduction to a field) and highly cited. It commonly cites approximately 100 primary references.
- Technical paper describes and evaluates technical products, processes or services.
- Conceptual paper will not be based on research but will develop hypotheses. The papers are likely to be discursive and will cover philosophical discussions and comparative studies of others' work and thinking.
- Case study describe actual interventions or experiences within organizations. They may well be subjective and will not generally report on research. A description of a legal case or a hypothetical case study used as a teaching exercise would also fit into this category.
Language
Manuscript language is English. Make sure to proofread the manuscript writing before submission.
Although Indonesian language is acceptable at the time of submission, the use of English is highly recommended to avoid delay throughout the manuscript evaluation process. If the Indonesian language is of to be used, it should be translated into proofread-English once accepted for publication.

- It is a single-column page format with no specific page margins and line spacing are required.
- The main body of the manuscript should be strictly divided into four main sections, i.e., Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion, and Conclusion; written in bold capital letters.
- Manuscript length can be any number of pages, but the main body should be at least 5000 words, excluding words in Abstract, Tables, References, Appendix, Bibliography, etc.
Structure
As a whole, the manuscript should contain these elements in the following order:
- Research category
- A research title with a maximum of 10 (ten) words;
- Full name of all authors;
- Affiliation of all authors (Department/division, Institution, Address, City, and Country);
- Email and phone no. of the corresponding author;
- Abstract;

Authorship
All contributing authors’ names should be added, and their names arranged in the correct order for publication. A correct email address should be supplied only by the corresponding author. The full name of each author must be present in the exact format they should appear for publication, including or excluding any middle names or initials as required. The affiliation of each contributing author should be correct on their individual author name.
The criteria of authorship are as follows; Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work; drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content; final approval of the version to be published; Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.
Abstract
- It is a single paragraph of 200 – 250 words;
- Write the abstract as a cohesive tale, beginning with broad facts of research background (no more than two lines) followed by the research problem, and then adding more about the purpose, method, results, and implications for theory and practice;
- Avoid mentioning detailed numerical results; Instead, highlight and emphasize the main conclusion and the implication of the proposed research.
In general, the abstract provides a pertinent overview of the work consisting of background (20%); purpose (15%); method (30%); and result/findings (25%) and implication (10%).
Introduction Section
Make the introduction section as comprehensive as possible for the readers, especially for those in the particular field of research.
- Begin with the existing body of knowledge, from a broader scope to more specific area; highlight why it is important.
- Provide the following critical aspects adequately:
- Discussion of the past publications including their contributions to the existing body of knowledge, and identification of the research gap;
- The novelty of the proposed research and its rationale. Synthesize at least 5 recent key literatures (ones most closely related to the proposed research) in order to strengthen the novelty.
- The objectives of the proposed research.
- Refer to at least 25 references (in total); cite the latest primary references i.e., the publication from internationally reputable journals and/or conference proceedings published approx. within the last 10 years.
- Do not use up the manuscript length by over-detailing/describing basic theoretical ground (basic theory) of a particular knowledge.
Methods Section
- Provide structured and sufficient details of methods, techniques and/or approach used in the proposed study to allow the work to be reproducable (by other scholars) in the future.
- For novel methods/techniques/approaches, describe it in details.
- For well-established methods/techniques/approaches, describe it briefly. Simply cite a reference where readers can find it more detail.
- If quoting directly from a previously published method, use quotation marks and cite the source. If any modifications to existing methods, describe it sufficiently.
- Indicate the participants observed, including demographic data, number of respondents, the rationale of respondent selection, etc.
- Describe the design of the experiment in details, such as the experiment procedures, surveys, interviews, observation characteristics, etc.
Results and Discussion Section
- This section is a mixed results-discussion.
- Emphasize more on presenting and discussing the main result.
- Avoid extensive presentation of the following:
- Raw (input) data;
- Computation results obtained from step-by-step procedures in many tables and/or figures. Instead, summarize these results in a single concise and meaningful table/figure and draw the conclusion from it.
- If either raw (input) data or those detailed results are to be presented, put it in the Appendix section. A maximum of four-page appendix is allowed.
- A discussion should interpret the significance of the main results/findings, and not just repeat mentioning the result already shown in tables and/or figures.
- For research on hypothesis testing, explain how the results relate to the hypothesis and provide a succinct explanation of the implications of the findings, particularly in relation to previous related studies.
- Provide the name and version of any softwares used and make clear whether computer code used is available.
Conclusion Section
- The conclusions should clearly answer the research objectives.
