| Section | What to write |
|---|---|
| 1. INTRODUCTION (PENDAHULUAN) |
The background of the study, a brief review of related research, the reason why the study was carried out, and the research question or objective. Show the state of the art, the research gap, and the novelty of the study. Avoid a general literature review and general definitions in this section. |
| 2. METHOD (METODE) |
How the research was carried out: the method, the type, the time and the place of the research, the target, the subjects, the procedure, the instruments, and the technique of data analysis. For a technical study, describe the analysis, the architecture, the method used to solve the problem, and the implementation. Avoid common scientific concepts and their definitions. Avoid subheadings in this section. If they cannot be avoided, follow the style of subheadings that is described for Results and Discussion. |
| 3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION (HASIL DAN PEMBAHASAN) |
The main part of the article, and usually the longest. Present the results of the data analysis, such as statistical calculations. Tables, figures, and graphs can make the results clearer, and each one must be explained in the text and must give its source when it is quoted. Do not present the process of hypothesis testing. Report only the results of the analysis and the results of the hypothesis tests. Subheadings are allowed when the results need to be organized (3.1, 3.2, and so on). |
| 4. CLOSING (PENUTUP) |
4.1 Conclusion (Kesimpulan). State the facts that were obtained and answer the research problem or the objective. Do not discuss the results again. Write the conclusion as sentences in a paragraph and not as a numbered list. 4.2 Suggestions (Saran). Give suggestions that are based on the findings that were discussed. They can refer to practical actions, to the development of new theory, and to possibilities for further research. |
