In English, use italics with Times New Roman 12pt font, single spacing, and 100-250 words to explain the most relevant aspects of the article. The abstract must include the core issues/objectives to be discussed, theoretical considerations, research methods used, findings, and conclusions. The abstract should be written in a single paragraph with a single-column format. The abstract must include two to five keywords, and the writing format should follow the template.

Keywords: filled in with keywords separated by commas (,)

A. INTRODUCTION

 Contains an introduction and background to the research problem. Reveals the problems that occur and explains the importance of studying the problem in the research. Briefly write the theoretical basis based on quotations from scientific articles. The articles cited must be relevant to the research. The articles must have been published within the last 10 years. The articles must be from reputable national and international journals and accessible via the internet.

The article should be approximately 5,000-9,000 words, including the body text, tables, figures, notes, and reference list. The article should be written in a Word document (MS Word), A4 paper, 1.15 spacing (single space), and use Times New Roman 12pt font. Margins should be 4:3:3:3.

B. METHODOLOGY

 The methods used in solving problems include qualitative methods, quantitative methods, literature study methods, and interpretation methods as well as case studies. The methods used to answer the research questions must be explained in detail, accompanied by the stages of the research conducted. In the research method, the author needs to mention the data collection method, data analysis, type of research, time, and place of research (if the research is based on field research), and mention the hypothesis if the researcher has one (optional).

C. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

 Results and discussion can be presented using subheadings as needed. Results and discussion contain data collected during the research process and analysis of that data. Research results include a description of the data collected, data analysis, and data interpretation using relevant theories. Research results must be clear and concise. The discussion section should explore significant findings, not repeat what is already known. Please note that tables or figures from other sources are not permitted in the results and discussion sections. Only tables and figures sourced from the author (research results or research documentation) may be included.

D. CONCLUSION

This section may contain conclusions and suggestions that summarize the entire discussion and must be related to the research objectives. Each research objective must be answered by one conclusion. The conclusion must be written in a coherent paragraph, not point by point. The conclusion may be followed by suggestions or recommendations related to matters that need to be followed up by readers as future researchers, certain professions, or certain officials. Recommendations must be written in a coherent paragraph. Recommendations are optional.

REFERENCES

 All citations included in the article text use footnotes and/or in-text citations, and all citations must be listed in the References section. The References section must contain references from primary sources (scientific journals, comprising a minimum of 60% of the entire list) published within the last 10 (ten) years. Each article must contain at least 15 (fifteen) references. References must be listed in alphabetical order.
