    Changes to authorship

    This policy concerns the addition, deletion, or rearrangement of author names in the authorship of accepted manuscripts:

    Before the accepted manuscript is published in an online issue: Requests to add or remove an author, or to rearrange the author names, must be sent to the Journal Manager from the corresponding author of the accepted manuscript and must include: (a) the reason the name should be added or removed, or the author names rearranged and (b) written confirmation (e-mail, fax, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of adding or removing authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed. The Journal Manager will forward requests that the corresponding author does not send to the corresponding author, who must follow the procedure described above. Note that:

    (1) Journal Managers will inform the Journal Editors of any such requests and

    (2) Publication of the accepted manuscript in an online issue is suspended until authorship has been agreed.
    After the accepted manuscript is published in an online issue, any requests to add, delete, or rearrange author names in an article published online will follow the same policies noted above and result in a corrigendum.

    The Abstract of the manuscript should be formed according to the following guidance:

     Abstract

    The abstract should be clear and informative in one paragraph (not exceeding 250 words). Use Cambria font in size 11-pt with single spacing. It should succinctly describe your entire paper which contains the introduction indicating the research gap, research purpose, methodology, findings, and research implication/contribution. It should tell the prospective readers what you did and highlight the key findings. Avoid using technical jargon and uncommon abbreviations. The abstract must appear on the top of the first page after the title, author (s) name and affiliation, and the email address of the corresponding author (who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication; this responsibility includes answering any future queries about Methodology and Materials) of the paper. Keywords are the labels of your manuscript and are critical to correct indexing and searching. They should be well selected and closely related to the topic to facilitate readers’ search and should represent the content and highlight of your article. Use only abbreviations that are firmly established in the field.

    Keywords: 5 (five) keywords (phrases), alphabetically ordered, and separated by semicolon (;)

     

    INTRODUCTION (Font size: 12, Cambria, bold, and Capital Letters)

    Manuscripts should be typed in MS Word doc. format; using 12-pt Cambria font; left, right, top, and bottom margins are 3 cm; single-spaced on A4-sized paper; length: between 4,000 and 7,000 words (including tables, figures, references, and appendices). It is expected that the author will submit carefully written and proofread material.

    The introduction should clearly state the purpose of the paper. It includes a review of related literature and research purpose in an essay style. The introduction should include key references to appropriate work. It states the significant contribution of the research. All introductions should be presented in the form of paragraphs, not pointers, and with a proportion of 15-20% of the whole article length.

    The author should provide an adequate background and literature review ,or to record the existing solutions/methods, to show which is the best of previous studies, to show the main limitations of the previous studies, to show what is hoped to achieve (to solve the limitations), and to show the scientific merit or novelties of the paper. Avoid a detailed literature review or a summary of the results. Do not describe literature review as author by author ,but it should be presented as a group of articles per method or topic reviewed, which refers to some literature.

    At the end of the introduction, athe uthor should explicitly state the research gaps and show the novelty of the research. Author should also write the research questions or research objectives and the research contributions. Here are the examples of the gaps analysis statement at the end of the Introduction section: “........ (short summary of background) ............ (put here state of the art or overview of previous research similar to this research) .............. A few researchers focused on ....... There have been limited studies concerned on ........ Therefore, this research intends to ................. The objectives of this research are .........” or “........ (short summary of background) ............ (put here state of the art or overview of previous research similar to this research) .............. A few researchers focused on ....... There is no researcher concerned on ........ Therefore, this research focuses on ................. This research is aimed to .........”.  The research contribution should be written here.

    METHOD

    This section discusses the research methodology (in a level one heading). This section consists of several subsections talking about the research method description, such as the research design, participants, data collection (practical procedures), and data analysis (practical procedures). Methods already published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described. Do not repeat the details of established methods.

    In the Method section, the proportion is 10-15% of the total article length, all presented in the form of paragraphs in the subsections. All text paragraphs should be single-spaced, with the first line indented. Double spacing should NOT be used anywhere in the manuscript. The position and style of headings and subheadings should follow this template.

    First subsection of method

    It deals with the first subsection of method (level two headings). Xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxx. Xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx.

    Xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxx. Xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx. Xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxx. Xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx.

    Second subsection of method

    It deals with the second subsection of method (level two headings). Xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxx. Xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx. Xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxx. Xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxx.

    Third subsection of method

    It deals with the third subsection of method (level two headings). Xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxx. Xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx. Xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxx.

    How many subsections will be presented depend on the needs of the explanation related to the research methodology. Xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx. Xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxx.

    RESULT

    This section deals with the research findings (level one headings). The findings obtained from the research have to be supported by sufficient data. The research results and the discovery must be the answers or the research hypothesis stated previously in the introduction part. The findings section consists of a description of the results of the data analysis to answer the research question(s). The findings should summarize (scientific) findings rather than providing data in great detail. Please highlight differences between your results or findings and the previous publications by other researchers.

    This section should be explained in several subsections with the detail explanation of the findings. Xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx.

    First findings

    This section deals with the first findings (level two headings). The author is required to present the results of the study with a detailed explanation. Xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxx. Xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx.

    DISCUSSION

    This section deals with the discussion of the research findings (level one headings). In the Discussion section, the author should present it with a detailed explanation in several subsections (it depends on the needs). The discussion should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. In the discussion, it is the most important section of your article. Here you get the chance to sell your data. Make the discussion corresponding to the results, but do not reiterate the results. Often it should begin with a summary of the main scientific findings. The meanings of the findings should be shown from current theories and references of the area addressed.

    In the discussion section, you are comparing and contrasting the findings of the current research with those from the previous research or the supporting theories. There should be a similarity and contrast analysis. The following components should be covered in discussion: (a) How do your results relate to the original question or objectives outlined in the Introduction section? What is your finding of research? (what/how)? (b) Do you provide interpretation scientifically for each of your results or findings presented (why)? This scientific interpretation must be supported by valid analysis and characterization (why)? (c) Are your results consistent with what other investigators have reported (what else)? Or are there any differences?

    The proportion of the Findings and the Discussion sections is 40-60% of the total article length. Xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx. Xxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx.

    At the end of the Discussion section, there should be a closing statement of the discussion. Xxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxx. Xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx.

     

    CONCLUSION

    This section deals with the conclusion (level one headings). The Conclusion section consists of the summary, restatement of the main findings. It should state concisely the most important propositions of the paper as well as the author's views of the practical implications of the result. Tell how your work advances the field from the present state of knowledge. Without a clear conclusion, 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 just list experimental results. Provide a clear scientific justification for your work, and indicate possible applications and extensions. You can also suggest future research and point out those that are underway.

    INTRODUCTION to CONCLUSION should be 4.000 – 7000 words.
