ABSTRACT – between 150 to 300 words Times New Roman 10pt

Purpose: This section states the main objective of the study. It explains what the research aims to investigate, solve, or explore, and why the topic is important. It often highlights a gap in existing knowledge or a practical challenge that motivates the research. The purpose should be specific and focused, avoiding broad or generic statements.

Method: The method section details the approach and techniques used to conduct the research. This includes the research design (e.g., qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods), data collection methods (e.g., surveys, interviews, experiments), and data analysis techniques. 

Findings: This part summarizes the key results of the study. It highlights the most significant insights, patterns, or outcomes that emerged from the data. The findings should directly relate to the research questions and be presented clearly, without excessive detail or technical jargon. Use past tense and active voice to convey clarity and confidence.

Implications: In this section, explain the practical or theoretical significance of the findings. What do the results mean for practitioners, policymakers, researchers, or other stakeholders? It may include recommendations, applications, or potential changes that could arise from the study. The implications should be relevant and grounded in the data.

Novelty/Value: This final component emphasizes what makes the study original or valuable. It could be a new perspective, a unique context, an innovative method, or a contribution to theory or practice. This is the authors’ chance to position the work within the broader academic conversation and show how it advances knowledge or offers fresh insights.

Keywords

In general, the keywords in the article are a selection of meaningful words from a document that can be used to index the contents. The number of keywords presented generally consists of 3–8 words (which can be arranged in short phrases). The selected words should not repeat the title and may not use words that do not appear at all in the entire article.

Specifically, keywords are described as follows:

  • Keywords, the keywords must be consistent and reflect important concepts in the article
  • Keywords are written in English. Keywords are carefully chosen, appropriate, and able to reflect the concepts/variables contained in the article, with a total of six keywords.
  • Keywords consist of 6 phrases (2-3 words), which are at the core of the description of abstraction. Keywords are bold.


 INTRODUCTION (20%)

The introduction begins by providing background information on the research topic, including relevant theories, concepts, and previous studies. This helps to establish the context and importance of the study. The specific problem or issue that the research aims to address is then articulated, highlighting the gap in the existing literature or the practical challenge that the study seeks to solve. The research objectives are defined, outlining the main goals or aims of the study, which should be specific and measurable. Key research questions are presented, ensuring they are directly related to the research objectives and problem statement. The significance of the study is explained, detailing the potential contributions to the field and the practical, theoretical, or societal implications of the findings. Additionally, the scope and limitations of the study are provided to set realistic expectations for the reader. Lastly, a brief outline of the paper’s structure is included, summarizing the main sections and guiding the reader through the content and flow of the argument. There are no subtitles or sub-sections in the introduction. The introduction must be written in flowing paragraphs without numbers or bullet points.

Specifically, the preliminary presentation is described as follows:

  • The introduction is written in a flowing paragraph.
  • The introduction contains background problems, research motivation, research goals and contributions, and literature (state of the art) that is closely related to the research to find the research gap.

 

 LITERATURE REVIEW (20%)

 

Literature Review and Hypothesis Development (Quantitative) or Literature Review and Focus of Study (Qualitative)

 

This section contains the literature referred to in the research and hypothesis development. This section contains the theory and literature referenced and linked to writing. It is highly recommended that the literature referenced is published within the last five-ten years in reputed international journals, accredited national journals, international symposiums, national symposiums, textbooks, and reputable daily publications. 

 

For quantitative research with hypothesis testing, the hypothesis development is built on supporting theory, previous research, and logical argumentation. After the explanation is formulated, write your hypothesis in the following format:

H1: Write the formulated hypothesis.                                                                                                         

 

Hypothesis Formulation Policy. Research hypotheses must be grounded in substantive theoretical propositions explaining the specific relationship between independent and dependent variables (example: X1 to Y; X2 to Y; X3 to Y; not X1, X2, X3 to Y). The journal does not recommend the inclusion of simultaneous hypotheses (F-test); instead, the F-test should be treated and reported as a diagnostic tool for assessing Overall Model Fit within the Results section. Authors should focus their theoretical arguments and hypotheses on unique, partial relationships that provide clear causal insights (Hair et al., 2010, 2021: 161-165)

 

For qualitative research (without hypothesis testing), the literature review (theory and previous research and argumentation focused on research review) and research focus are presented in this section in question form as follows.

RF: Mention the problem that represents the research focus.

 

The research framework or research model is a diagrammatic description of the relationship of variables/focus in the research.

 

RESEARCH METHODS (10%)

The research method section details the research design, which can be qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods, and explains why it is appropriate for addressing the research question. Following the design, a description of the sample or participants is provided, including how they were selected, their characteristics, and the sample size. This is followed by a comprehensive description of the data collection methods, such as surveys, interviews, observations, or experiments, including the tools and procedures used. Additionally, the section should discuss any ethical considerations, such as informed consent and confidentiality, and how these were addressed. The data analysis techniques employed to process and interpret the collected data, such as statistical analyses or thematic coding, are then explained. It is important to acknowledge the limitations of the chosen methods, discussing any potential biases or constraints that might affect the study’s findings. Including these elements ensures that the research method section provides a clear and detailed roadmap of how the study was conducted, ensuring transparency and reproducibility.

 


RESULTS AND DISCUSSION (40%)

Results

This section begins by summarizing the key results, often using tables, figures, and statistical analyses to illustrate the data. The findings are then explained in detail, highlighting any patterns, trends, or notable observations.

 

Discussion 

The discussion interprets the results, linking them back to the research objectives and existing literature. It explores the implications of the findings, addressing how they contribute to the field and what they mean for theory, practice, or future research. Additionally, this section often considers the limitations of the study, acknowledging any potential biases or constraints that may have influenced the results. Finally, the discussion may propose directions for future research, suggesting areas where further investigation is needed to build on the current study’s findings


 

CONCLUSION (10%)

The conclusion summarizes the main insights of the study, reiterates its contributions, and responds directly to the research objectives. It may also highlight broader implications for policy, practice, or theories.

In particular, the conclusions contain the following description:

  • Conclusions are written in flowing paragraphs (no sub-sections, and no number or bullet points).
