Abstract
The abstract should be written in two languages, Indonesian and English, and between 100 and 200 words long. It should contain a summary of the research that includes the problem, research methods, results achieved, and main conclusions. A good abstract will help readers understand the research outline without reading the entire manuscript.

• The abstract should be informative and written in the past tense.
• Avoid using abbreviations or uncommon terms.
• Do not include references in the abstract.

Example of abstract format:

Abstract: This study aims to... (followed by a summary that includes the objectives, methods, results, and conclusions). Keywords: Enter up to six relevant keywords to the study, separated by commas.
________________________________________
1. Introduction
The introduction contains the background that underlies the study. The author should explain the main problem that the study aims to answer and mention the study's contribution. In addition, the author should also include a brief review of relevant previous studies to provide context to the problem being discussed. Make sure that the objectives and benefits of the study are clearly explained.

The introduction should be in Times New Roman, 12-point font, with 1.5 line spacing. New paragraphs should begin with a 1 cm tab to the right.

2. Literature Review
The literature review section presents various references that are relevant to the research. The author must cite previous studies that support the arguments or theories used. This is important to provide a strong scientific basis for the raised topic.
• Use Times New Roman 12 points with a left-aligned format.
• Each citation must include the author's name and year of publication, for example (Smith, 2020).
• If there are subsections in the literature review, the subsections must be numbered as follows: 2.1 Subheading. Make sure that the references used are reliable and up-to-date sources. Avoid using references older than 10 years unless the references are considered seminal or important in the related field of study.

3. Research Methods
The research methods section contains a complete description of the approach or method used in the research. The author must explain the research design, data collection techniques, data analysis procedures, and the tools or instruments. The explanation in this section must be detailed enough so that other researchers can replicate the study if necessary. Some points that should be included in this section include:
• Research design: did you use qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods?
• Population and sample: how many respondents or research subjects were involved?
• Instruments: describe the instruments used, such as questionnaires or other test tools.
• Data analysis techniques: for example, using SPSS, statistical analysis, or other qualitative methods.
• Do not include charts or figures in the methods section unless necessary.

4. Results and discussion
In this section, the author must present the research results obtained clearly and in a structured manner. The results can be table data, graphs, or narrative explanations, depending on the method used. In addition, the author must also relate the results found to the literature or theories that have been discussed previously in the literature review section. Tables and Figures:

• All tables and figures must be numbered consecutively.
• Table captions are written above the table, while figure captions are placed below the figure.
• Make sure the figures and tables are high quality and can be read clearly.

 Example:

• Figure 1: Test Results
• Table 1: Statistical Test Results

The discussion should include a critical analysis of the findings and how they agree or disagree with previous research. It should also discuss the practical implications of the results and any study limitations.

5. Conclusions and Recommendations
The conclusion section should summarize the study's main findings and answer the objectives and research questions posed at the beginning. The conclusion should be concise and clear without presenting new information. If there are any suggestions for further research, the author can include them in this section. The suggestions should be based on the research findings and lead to further development in related areas.
