Manuscript Structure

Title

Author Name(s)

Written without academic titles, followed by affiliation(s) and email address(es).

Abstract

A concise and factual summary of 200–300 words, written in Times New Roman 10 pt, single-spaced, justified.
The abstract should briefly describe the research objectives, methodology, findings, and conclusions.

Guidelines:

1. The abstract must be self-contained and written in one paragraph.
2. Avoid references; if essential, include only author name and year.
3. Avoid uncommon abbreviations; define them upon first mention.

Keywords

Include 3–7 keywords, separated by commas.

INTRODUCTION

Describe the background of the study, theoretical foundation, research gap, objectives, and relevance of the research. The introduction should also include the rationale for the study and related literature review.

METHOD

Explain the research design, population and sample, data collection techniques, instruments, and analytical methods in sufficient detail to allow replication.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Present the research results clearly and systematically, supported by data, tables, and figures where necessary. Discuss the findings by relating them to relevant theories and previous research.

CONCLUSION

Summarize the key findings, implications, and recommendations without repeating the abstract. The conclusion should directly address the research objectives or questions.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT (if any)

Acknowledge individuals, institutions, or funding bodies that supported the research.

REFERENCES

Follow the APA 7th Edition citation style.
References must be listed alphabetically and include at least 20 scholarly sources, with 70% from journal articles published within the last five years.
Authors are encouraged to use reference management software such as Mendeley, Zotero, or EndNote.

Tables

1. Submit tables as editable text, not images.
2. Place tables near their first mention in the text or at the end of the manuscript.
3. Number tables consecutively (Table 1, Table 2, etc.).
4. Include a clear, bolded title above each table (Times New Roman 11 pt, Bold).
5. Layout spacing: before 6 pt; after 0 pt.
6. Add source information (if any) left-aligned, with spacing before 0 pt; after 6 pt.
7. Apply top and bottom borders for table headers and a bottom border for the last row.
8. All tables must be cited within the text.

Figures, Graphs, and Artwork

1. Submit figures as separate high-resolution files (minimum 300 dpi).
2. Number figures sequentially (Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.).
3. Include captions below each figure (Times New Roman 11 pt, Bold, Centered).
4. Add source information (if applicable) below the caption (before 0 pt; after 6 pt).
5. Ensure all figures are cited in the manuscript.

Reference Style

All in-text citations and references must conform to APA 7th Edition format.
