- The sequence of manuscripts is as follows: Title; Abstract; Keywords; Introduction; Literature Review; Methodology/Research Method (for original research articles); Results and Discussion; Conclusion; and References.
- Referencing style uses the American Psychological Association (APA) Style.
TITLE
The title of the manuscript is written with Times New Roman (16 pt), each word capitalized (except: conjunctions) and preferably not more than 14 words. Author(s) name, affiliation(s) and corresponding author's e-mail.
Abstract
The abstract is a brief summary of the entire article's contents and written with Times New Roman (10 pt). This section includes Purpose, Design/methodology/approach, Findings and Originality/value. Perhaps, you could add Research limitations/implications, Practical implications and Social implications if applicable (optional). The abstract is written clearly, concisely and using powerful sentences in a paragraph of 150-200 words. The abstract should be able to help the reader understanding the points out the essential parts of the article. It should give a clear general description of the article's contents.
Keywords
Keywords are arranged by alphabetically and should have at least two keywords and maximum five keywords separated by a semicolon (;).
INTRODUCTION
The introduction contains the research background, research objectives, research contribution (the research benefit from theoretical and practical), research result and implication (Practical advice based on research result). The research result and implication in the introduction section are an only suggestion (not mandatory). Furthermore, the literature review could be included in the Introduction. Literature review not only summarize previous literatures but identifies the gaps in knowledge that the empirical study addresses. At the end of this section, please highlight the gaps in the Introduction section and mention how your study is going to address any/some of the gaps. In addition, novelty and research contribution should be well-stated, or must appear in the sentence.
LITERATURE REVIEW (Optional/Combined with INTRODUCTION)
The literature review is optional. This section is better if author(s) writes in the introduction. This section explains the grand theory used in the topic of the manuscript and previous studies concluded. However, literature review not only summarizes previous literatures, but investigates the gaps in knowledge that the empirical study addresses. The flow of all the ideas in literature review is required to be clear, linked, well-crafted and well developed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We advise using current and primary sources from trusted international references (top tier-journals) which are indexed in Scopus or WoS.
METHODOLOGY/RESEARCH METHOD
The methodology describes the research design, subject/object/research sample, equation model, definition and measurement of variables used, collecting data technique/instrument and data analysis method (hypothesis testing, etc.).
RESULTS 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 of 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 shows the hypothesis research result and its discussion completely.
CONCLUSION
The conclusion section, clearly, mention how your study advances the knowledge in the field. In addition, this section presents the researchs implication, limitation and advice for future research. The implication is practical advice from result research. Research limitation includes all aspects that can be considered by researchers to refine future research. While the research advice is advised for the next research based on the limitation that cannot be done by a researcher in his research.
