Author Guideline

  1. Title

The title reflects the research conducted.

  1. Author Information

Full name of the author(s), unabbreviated and without academic or professional titles/positions. The author's full institutional affiliation and email address are listed below the name.

  1. Abstract

The abstract provides a brief overview of the entire article or scientific paper, comprising four components: (1) Problem and objectives; (2) Methods used; (3) Results and Discussion; and (4) Conclusions and Suggestions. The abstract is written in two languages: Indonesian and English. It consists of a single paragraph—without footnotes or citations—with single spacing and a maximum of 250 words (in Indonesian), accompanied by keywords. The English abstract should correspond accordingly.

  1. Introduction

The introduction outlines the background of the problem being addressed and related issues. It includes the "State of the Art" (a brief review of literature or previous research, spanning 1–2 paragraphs) to justify or reinforce the article's novelty, significance, scientific contribution, or originality; references to journal articles from the last 10 years should be included. Do not restate the article title when describing the article's objectives. Subheadings are not required in the introduction. The introduction text should be a maximum of 2 pages, single-spaced, in Times New Roman 12-point font.

  1. Research Methods

Covers the research type and approach, location and timeframe, research subjects, data/information collection procedures, data analysis techniques, and research cycles. Length: 1–1.5 pages, single-spaced, Times New Roman 12-point font.

  1. Results and Discussion

Involves presenting the obtained data/information and analyzing it in relation to the article's objectives. Subheadings corresponding to the specific issues discussed may be used within the Results and Discussion section. Subheadings should be written in bold. The Results and Discussion section must be supported by references. The discussion must be focused. If the article involves experiments, the results should be presented in the form of graphs or tables. Captions for figures, graphs, or charts must use Times New Roman font, bold, size 11, and be centered below the image; table captions must be centered above the table. Each figure or table must be assigned an identifying number and a title or caption (e.g., "Table 1. Frequency Distribution..."). All text within figures or tables must be clearly legible and not blurred. Every figure or table must be cited in the text; citations must not refer to their physical location (e.g., "below," "above," "following," etc.). Cite the table or figure in the text first, then place the table or figure itself. Tables should not contain horizontal lines within the body; lines are required only for the header and the bottom border. Each figure or table must be assigned a sequential number without including the chapter number (e.g., Table 1, not Table 4.1).

Every equation must be numbered. Definitions of symbols used in equations should be written as a descriptive paragraph rather than a bulleted or numbered list. For example: “P represents pressure (atm), m represents mass (g), ...”

  1. Conclusions and Suggestions

The conclusion must clearly indicate the results obtained, as well as their strengths and limitations. It should represent a synthesis of the alignment between the problem, objectives, and results. The conclusion should directly address and correspond to the research problem or objectives. Implications or suggestions may be added (optional). These should be written in paragraph form rather than as a list or numbered points.

  1. References

The reference list must follow the IEEE format. A minimum of 15 primary references is required. Reference management software, such as Mendeley or Zotero, should be used.
