Articles written in English use the English section headings. Articles written in Indonesian use the Indonesian headings shown in the table.

4.1 Introduction

The introduction describes the background of the research, the solution that is offered, and comparable related work. It should be organized as follows.

Part	What to write
Problem and proposed solution	In the first paragraphs, describe the problem addressed by the research in descriptive paragraphs. Then explain the solution that is expected to solve the problem.
Related studies and research gap	Describe related studies that are similar to your research. Use at least five studies, published within the last five years. Use them to show the gap (GAP analysis) that your research addresses.
Objectives and expected outcomes	At the end of the introduction, state the objectives of the research and the outcomes that you hope to achieve.

4.2 Research Methodology

The first subsection, 2.1 Research Stages, is mandatory. It explains the sequence of the stages of the research, how the method is applied in the research, and how the method is tested to obtain the results that match the expectations and the description of the research. Figures and tables that illustrate the stages are encouraged, and they must be presented with a caption and a sequential number. Further subsections, such as 2.2, may describe the method used to solve the problem and the steps of that method.

4.3 Results and Discussion

Part	What to write
Results	Present the results in a logical order so that they form a story. Show the facts and the data, and do not discuss the results in this part. Tables and figures may be used, but the same data must not be described repeatedly in a figure, a table, and the text. Subheadings may be used to make the explanation clearer.
Discussion	Explain the basis, the relationships, and the generalizations that are shown by the results. The discussion must answer the research questions. If some results are doubtful, present them objectively.

4.4 Conclusion

The conclusion must not contain references. It states the facts that were obtained and is limited to answering the research problem or the objectives, so it must not turn into another discussion. State the possible applications, implications, and appropriate speculation. If necessary, give suggestions for further research. Write the conclusion in sentences in paragraph form, not as a numbered list.

4.5 Acknowledgments

If applicable, mention the names of the funders and of the providers of facilities who supported the research.

5. Tables, Figures, and Equations

Tables, figures, and equations are numbered in the order in which they appear in the manuscript, and each of them is mentioned in the text, for example “as shown in Table 1 and Figure 1”.

Element	Caption	Rules
Tables	Above the table, centered, Times New Roman 10 pt, in the form “Table 1. Title of the table”	Give every table a number and a title. Do not repeat the data of a table in a figure or in the text.
Figures	Below the figure, centered, Times New Roman 10 pt, in the form “Figure 1. Title of the figure”	Use figures of high quality and explain each figure in the text. State the source of the figure on a separate line below the caption, in the form “Source: ...”.
Equations	Number in parentheses, for example (1) and (2)	Write equations clearly with the Equation editor of Microsoft Word, including the indices. Number them in the order in which they appear in the article.

Example of captions:

Table 1. Title of the table
(the table is placed here)

(the figure is placed here)
Figure 1. Title of the figure
Source: name of the source of the figure

6. Writing and Formatting Rules

Foreign terms	Write terms in a foreign language in italics.
Numbering and bullets	Avoid numbering (1, 2, 3, a, b, c, and so on) in the discussion, and change it into sentences. Avoid bulleted lists and lists with symbols such as asterisks or check marks.
Subsections	No subsection may consist of only one paragraph.
Page layout	Avoid blank areas on the pages.
