Novelty and State of the Art

The introduction must explicitly present the background and state of the art of relevant research, the research gap addressed by the study, and the manuscript’s novelty or original contribution. Manuscripts that do not clearly explain the novelty and research gap may be returned to the authors for revision before peer review.

Title and Author Information

1. The title must contain no more than 14 words. Use bold uppercase text in 14-point Book Antiqua, centred, with 1.15 line spacing.
2. Place the authors’ full names below the title in the intended author order. Names must not be abbreviated and must begin with a capital letter. Omit academic or professional titles and the word “by”. Use bold 10-point Book Antiqua, centred, with 1.15 line spacing.

For the anonymous review copy, follow the anonymisation instructions in the Peer Review Process.

Abstracts and Keywords

1. Provide abstracts in Indonesian and English stating the research problem or background, methods or problem-solving approach, and results. Print the heading “Abstract” in bold.
2. Limit the abstract to 250 words.
3. Use 10-point Book Antiqua, 1.15 line spacing, justified alignment, and one paragraph without a first-line indent. Write the English abstract in italics.

References

List only sources cited in the manuscript. We recommend using reference management software such as Mendeley, EndNote, or Zotero to avoid typing errors and duplicate references.

At least 80% of the references must be journal articles, proceedings, or research publications from the past ten years. Use APA 7th edition reference style and include at least 15 references.

Journal Article Example

Martin, F., Wang, C., & Sadaf, A. (2020). Facilitation matters: Instructor perception of helpfulness of facilitation strategies in online courses. Online Learning, 24(1), 28–49. https://doi.org/10.24059/olj.v24i1.1980

For books, chapters, theses, websites, recordings, musical scores, and other sources, use the relevant APA Style reference example.

Interviews and Personal Communications

Cite non-retrievable personal communications in the text only, with the communicator’s name and the date. Do not add them to the reference list. Interviews with participants in the article’s own research are research data and should be reported with appropriate consent and privacy protections. See APA guidance on personal communications.

Number tables in the order in which they appear (Table 1, etc.). Omit the left and right table borders. Centre the title above each table.
