e. Keywords

Written in English maximum 7 keywords.

f. Introduction

Explaining the background, problems, and importance of research, a brief literature review that relates directly to research or previous findings that need to be developed, and ending with a paragraph on research purposes. A balance must be kept between the pure and applied aspects of the subject.

g. Methods

Make sure that work can be repeated according to the details provided. It contains technical information of the study presented clearly. Therefore, readers can conduct research based on the techniques presented. Materials and equipment specifications are necessary. Approaches or procedures of study together with data analysis methods must be presented.

h. Results

Well-prepared tables and or figures must be the significant feature of this section because they convey the major observations to readers. Any information provided in tables and figures should no longer be repeated in the text, but the text should focus on the importance of the principal findings of the study. In general, journal papers will contain three-seven figures and tables. The same data can not be presented in the form of tables and figures. The results of the study are discussed to address the problem formulated, objectives, and research hypotheses. It is highly suggested that the discussion be focused on why and how the research findings can happen and to extend to which the research findings can be applied to other relevant problems.

i. Discussions

The results of the study are discussed to address the problem formulated, objectives, and research hypotheses. It is highly suggested that the discussion be focused on why and how the research findings can happen and to extend to which the research findings can be applied to other relevant problems.

j. Conclusions

The conclusion should be withdrawn on the basis of research findings, formulated concerns, and research purposes. The conclusion is presented in one paragraph without a numerical form of expression. Explain your research contributions to science.

k. References

Manuscripts are written by using a standard citation application (Mendeley). Elsevier-Harvard 2 reference style is required. Citing an article written by two authors, both authors should be mentioned, however, for three and more authors only the first author is mentioned followed by et al., for example, Rahayu & Sudarsono (2015), (Habibi et al., 2010). A series of references should be presented in ascending date order (Retnoningsih et al., 2005; Indriyanti et al., 2007; Rahayuningsih, 2010). Different publications with the same author(s) and year will be presented separately, as follows 2013a, 2013b. In the reference list, the references should be listed in alphabetical order. More than 80% of references for literature reviews should be the recent (up-to-date) journals published or research reports in the last 10 years.
