1. RESEARCH PAPER
Title
Write the title briefly (no more than 15 words is recommended) and clearly. The title of the article should be concise, interesting and describe the content of the article.
ABSTRACT
An abstract is written in English with a single space. The abstract includes a description of the purpose, methods, and results of the research. Abstract written in brief, conscience and written in one paragraph (around 250 words) that summarize important research variables, purpose, and methods (e.g., sample and techniques analysis used), and the answer to the research problem (result). The abstract contains keywords of ideas or basic concepts in the study fields (no more than 5 words). The format should as the following:
Research aims:
Design/Methodology/Approach:
Research findings:
Theoretical contribution/Originality:
Practitioner/Policy implication: (OPTIONAL)
Research limitation/Implication: (OPTIONAL)
Keywords:
Introduction
This section contains, at least, the research background, purpose, contributions both theoretical and practical. Use APA 6th style to make a citation.
Literature Review and Hypotheses Development (QUANTITATIVE) or Literature Review (QUALITATIVE)
This section contains theoretical underpinning and literature referenced pertaining to previous research that is related to the topic and also highlighted a research gap. It is highly recommended that the literature referenced is published no more than ten years. Also, it is suggested to prioritize the literature in the following order: reputable international journals, accredited national journals, national journals, international symposiums, national symposiums, and textbooks.
For research with hypothesis testing, the hypothesis development is built by supporting theory, previous research, and logical argumentation. After the explanation is formulated, then write your hypothesis in the following format:
H1: write the formulated hypothesis.
For qualitative research (without hypothesis testing), then presented in this section is a literature review (theory and previous research and argumentation focused on research review). If necessary, research focus could be written in this part in the question form by the following format:
Research Method
This section contains the research design, subject/object/research sample, operational definition, and measurement variable, collecting data technique/instrument, and data analysis also hypothesis testing.
Result and Discussion
This section contains the data characteristic of subject/object/sample/ research respondent, data analysis result, testing instrument and hypothesis (if any), the answer to the research question, findings, and findings interpretation. This section, if possible, can be graphed for each research variable. Furthermore, the descriptive statistic value was presented (e.g., Mean, SD, Maximum, Minimum) with its interpretation. The end of the section showed the hypothesis research result and its discussion completely.
Conclusion
This section presents the research conclusion, implications, limitations, and advice for future research. The implications are practical advice from result research. Research limitations include all aspects that can be considered by researchers to refine future research, while the research advice is a future direction for the next research based on the limitations highlighted.
Acknowledgment (OPTIONAL)
This section is provided for the author to express his gratitude, either for the research funders or the other parties who contribute to research realization.
Appendix (OPTIONAL)
Contain the research instrument, questionnaires, experiment scenario, interview question list, and other instruments.
