Manuscript Structure

  1. Title. Use a concise and informative title with initial capital letters for each word, not exceeding 16 words.
  2. Affiliation. Provide the full postal address for each author's affiliation, including street name and number, city, postal code, and country.
  3. Abstract. The abstract should consist of a single paragraph not exceeding 250 words. It should present the background and purpose of the research, the main results, and the conclusion. Avoid using abbreviations and citations.
  4. Keywords. Include a maximum of six keywords or phrases, sorted alphabetically and separated by semicolons (;). Use specific and relevant terms that do not appear in the title, to make the article more searchable. Avoid overly general or lengthy terms and end the last keyword with a period (.).
  5. Introduction. This section should briefly explain the background of the research (Social Facts, Literature Facts), provide a brief review of related literature, state the originality of the research, and state the research objectives. This section also includes factual and current issues, challenges, or needs required by the community related to the research objectives.
  6. Methods. Combine the methods and procedures used into a single narrative. Sufficient information must be provided to allow the research to be replicated. For commercial sources of materials, the company's name, city, and country where they are located must be indicated. Published methods should be referenced, with only relevant modifications described here; for example, "The solubility of the powder was evaluated according to the method proposed by Smith (2000), with modifications. In this case, the powder was stirred in 25 mL of distilled water for 5 minutes using a blender."; or "The solubility test followed the method of Smith (2000), with modifications in water volume. The powder was stirred in 25 mL of distilled water for 5 minutes using a blender."
  7. Results & Discussion. Describe the research results. Data should be presented as clearly as possible, and in the form of tables or figures if appropriate, although very large tables should be avoided. This section should be an interpretation of the results (not a repetition) in the context of previous research. Avoid excessive referencing of published literature. If necessary, this section can be combined with the Results section into a Results and Discussion section.
  8. Conclusion. The main conclusions of the research can be presented in a separate Conclusion section or included as a subsection of the Discussion section.
  9. References. List all items alphabetically. Literature cited during the construction of the paper is included in the bibliography. For efficiency and clarity, avoid using more than 40 references and less than 10, consisting of 70% journal references and 30% book references. Journal references should be from the last 5 years, while book references can be older. This journal uses the APA Style (American Psychological Association) format.
