The abstract consists of a statement about the background; the objective of the study or focus of discussion; the method or important research steps; findings and discussion; and conclusion. The abstracts are written in English, each in one paragraph, with single spacing, and total about 200–250 words.
4. Keywords: listing important terms, enabling readers to find the article, 4-6 terms, written below the abstract, boldface, and italicized.
5. Introduction: containing backgrounds of the problem supported by relevant theories and recent research, the importance of research, and the objective of the study. The problem should offer a new research value or benefit as an innovative endeavor, written by more or less 20% of the whole body.
6. Methods: written out concisely, clearly, but adequately so that it can be replicated. This section contains an explanation of the research approach, subjects of the study, conducts of the research procedure, data collection, and analysis techniques. The method should not contain a theory explanation, but may still contain reference(s) for justification. This section should be written around 10% of the whole body of the article.
7. Findings and Discussion: the result and discussion must be presented separately. These sections should occupy the most part, a minimum of 60%, of the whole body of the article.
• Findings: presented descriptively as short-solid-substantial in accordance with the research questions. Findings are the researcher’s research results and should not need a reference. For effectiveness, findings can be presented in visuals, verbal description, in the forms of tables, graphs, matrices, and diagrams or charts.
• Discussion: intended to give interpretation and meaning to the results of the study in accordance with the relevant theories and up-to-date references that are used. It is not merely used to present findings. Interpretation should be enriched with referencing, comparing, or contrasting findings with those of previous research published in a reputable journal. It is advisable to integrate findings into a collection of theories or established knowledge, development of a new theory or modification of existing theories.
• Quoting: Referencing in the body of the article uses braces: (...); an example with one author: (Dewi, 2019); two authors: (Nurgiyantoro & Efendi, 2017; Efendi & Nurgiyantoro, 2021), and three to five authors: (Kurnia, Nurgiyantoro, & Fitri, 2021) for the first mention and (Kurnia et al., 2021) for the subsequent mentions. Names of authors can also be mentioned outside the braces; e.g.: Efendi & Nurgiyantoro (2021) in accordance with the writing style. For direct quotation or particular facts, the page number (numbers) is needed; e.g.: (Kurnia, Nurgiyantoro, & Fitri, 2021:81), (Kurnia, Nurgiyantoro, & Fitri, 2021:81‒83). 
8. Conclusion: Not just a rehash. The conclusion provides meaning. It can state what was expected in the introduction and what happened in the findings and discussion to ensure compatibility. Enriching research findings and developing future research potentials can be added.
9. References: Reference entry follows the manual publication of APA 7^th Ed., and preferably is sourced from reputable journals (more than 50%).
