The citations and references should follow the style of the American Psychological Association (APA) 7th Edition Use Reference Management Software ZOTERO or MENDELEY. The editor will inform the author via email if the manuscript meets the Journal style.

B. Structure of the Manuscript:

The article structure contains: (a) Title; (b) Author(s) Name, Institution, and Email; (c) Abstract; (d) Keywords; (e) Introduction; (f) Method; (g) Result and Discussion; (h) Conclusion; (i) Acknowledgment; (j) Author Contributions Statement and (i) References.

TITLE

The paper title must be concise and informative. It should be pinpointed with the issue discussed. It does not contain infrequently used abbreviations. The main idea should be first written and followed by an explanation. The title of the paper should not exceed 14 words.

AUTHOR

Author(s) Name is fully written without any title; Institution: is completely stated, including the institution name; Corresponding author: includes name & email address.

ABSTRACT

An abstract is a brief, comprehensive summary of the article's contents; it allows readers to survey the contents of an article quickly and, like a title, enables persons interested in the document to retrieve it from abstracting and indexing databases. Most scholarly journals require an abstract. The author presents abstracts in English. By embedding keywords in your Abstract, you enhance the user's ability to find them. Do not exceed the abstract word limit of the journal to which you are submitting your article. Word limits vary from journal to journal and typically range from 150 to 250 words in 11-pt Garamond and with single space.

KEYWORDS

Keywords are the labels of your manuscript and are critical to correct indexing and searching. Therefore, keywords should be well-selected and closely related to the topic to facilitate the reader's search, and they should represent the content and highlight of your article. Use only those abbreviations that are firmly established in the field. There must be 3-7 keywords (word or phrase). A comma should separate each word or phrase in Keywords (;).

PENDAHULUAN/INTRODUCTION

In an Introduction, the Authors should state the objectives of the work at the end of the introduction section. Before the objective, the Authors should provide an adequate background and a very short literature survey to record the existing solutions/method, to show which is the best of previous research, to show the main limitation of the previous research, to show what you hope to achieve (to solve the limitation) and to show the scientific merit or novelties of the paper. Avoid a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.

METODE/METHOD

Materials and methods should allow readers to reproduce the experiment. Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. A reference should indicate published methods; only relevant modifications should be described. Do not repeat the details of established methods.

Identify Subsections

It is conventional and expedient to divide the Method section into labeled subsections. These usually include a section with descriptions of the participants or subjects and a section describing the procedures used in the study. The latter section often includes a description of (a) any experimental manipulations or interventions used and how they were delivered-for example, any mechanical apparatus used to deliver them; (b) sampling procedures and sample size and precision; (c) measurement approaches (including the psychometric properties of the instruments used); and (d) the research design. If the study design is complex or the stimuli require detailed descriptions, additional subsections or subheadings to separate the subsections may be warranted to help readers find specific information. 

Include in these subsections the information essential to comprehend and replicate the study. Insufficient detail leaves the reader with questions; too much detail burdens the reader with irrelevant information. Consider using appendices and a supplemental website for more detailed information.

Participant (Subject) Characteristics

Appropriate identification of research participants is critical to the science and practice of psychology, particularly for generalizing the findings, making comparisons across replications, and using the evidence in research syntheses and secondary data analyses. If humans participated in the study, report the eligibility and exclusion criteria, including any restrictions based on demographic characteristics.

Research Design

Specify the research design in the Method section. Were subjects placed into manipulated conditions, or were they observed naturalistically? How were participants assigned to conditions through random assignment or some other selection mechanism if multiple conditions were created? Was the study conducted as a between-subject or a within-subject design?

The method section consists of a description concerning the research design, the population and sample or the subjects of the research, data sources, data collection, and data analysis with a proportion of 10-15% of the total article length.

HASIL PENELITIAN DAN PEMBAHASAN/RESULT AND DISCUSSION

Results

Results should be clear and concise. The results should summarize (scientific) findings rather than provide data in great detail. Please highlight differences between your results or findings and the previous publications by other researchers. This section should explore the significance of the results of the study. A combined Findings and Discussion section is also appropriate. This section allows you to offer your interpretation and explain the meaning of your results. Emphasize any theoretical or practical consequences of the results.

Discussion

The Discussion section should be a reasoned and justifiable commentary on the importance of your findings. This section states why the problem is important and what larger issues and propositions are confirmed or disconfirmed by the extrapolation of these findings to such overarching issues.

KESIMPULAN/CONCLUSION

Conclusions should answer the objectives of the research. Tells how your work advances the field from the present state of knowledge. Without clear Conclusions, reviewers and readers will find it difficult to judge the work and whether or not it merits publication in the journal. Do not repeat the Abstract or list experimental results. Provide a clear scientific justification for your work, and indicate possible applications and extensions. You should also suggest future experiments and/or highlight those underway.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT    

Acknowledgment is addressed to a person, group, or institution that helps research directly and indirectly. An acknowledgment is a recognition or expression of gratitude directed towards an individual, group, or institution that has provided assistance or support, whether directly or indirectly, in conducting research.

AUTHOR CONTRIBUTIONS STATEMENT

The Author Contributions Statement can be up to several sentences long and should briefly describe the tasks of individual authors. Please list only two initials for each author, without full stops, but separated by commas (e.g., JC, JS). For two authors with the same initials, please use their middle initial to differentiate between them (e.g., REW, RSW). The Author Contributions Statement should be included at the end of the manuscript before the References.

REFERENSI/REFERENCES

Every source cited in the body of the article should appear in the References, and all sources appearing in the References should be cited in the body of the article. The references should be more up-to-date (published in the last 5 years). The primary sources cited are journal articles, proceedings, and research reports, including theses and dissertations. Citations from journal articles should be at least 80% of the total references cited. The references should be presented alphabetically and chronologically and be set to 12-point Cambria font, justified, with single line spacing and hanging indent. Check each reference against the source (author's name, volume, issue, year, DOI number). Please use Reference Manager Application ZOTERO or MENDELEY. Use other published articles in the same journal as models. The citations and references should follow the style of the American Psychological Association (APA) 7th Edition.
