Introduction

  1. Background of the study. In strengthening the background of the study or activity, authors are required to add empirical backgrounds and conceptual frameworks/backgrounds that are constructed from reviews of relevant previous studies which are published no later than 5 years.
  2. The introduction section contains phenomena based on references, problems, literature reviews, statements of novelty/state-of-the-art, and research objectives that explain the background of the research.
  3. The literature review contains relevant theories that form the theoretical framework to be used in analyzing and basis of the research/creation.
  4. The researcher needs to critically evaluate and synthesize the work of others and present the relationship between theory and existing phenomena to put forward the state-of-the-art of the paper being written.

Research Method

  1. This section explains several aspects, including research approach, research focus, respondents profile/case study, sample size and determination, data collection and data analysis method.
  2. The research methods should contain enough detail to enable the reader to evaluate the appropriateness of the methods and the reliability or validity of your findings.

Result and Discussion

  1. The author can describe research results accompanied by a discussion of the relationship between research findings (results) with existing theories or previous research results.
  2. The discussion can be written by comparing the results of this study with the results of other researcher’s work, what is unique about the results of this study in showing the originality of the results.
  3. Descriptions can be reinforced using figures and tables. Each figure and table is numbered consecutively starting from 1, 2, 3 to the last figure or table.
