Authors can put additional sections (if any) before Conclusions (Associated Content, Acknowledgment, and Author Contribution).
Title : Title should be simple and reflect the research subject, aim, and keywords.
Name of The Authors : The full name should be written without salutation or academic degree. Left side is for the first author and then followed by the next authors. Put academic institutions and all emails of the authors under the name of the authors. Write the email address of corresponding author and then another email addresses.

Keywords : Use keywords which reflect the contents of the article. Keywords can be three to five words arranged based on alphabet.
Introduction : A good introduction is a clear statement of the problem or project and the reasons for studying it. The purposes of an introduction are to attract interest, and place your research in a context. In the introduction, readers expect to find answers to the following three questions. What exactly is the study is about? Why is the study important? What background is needed to understand the study? Author should also include an outline of how the work will be presented.
Method : The method section is a description of what the authors did, in order to get the results. The key to a successful method section is to provide just the right amount of detail. The method should be presented in a logical order. If the method section is long, author can use subheadings to help readers follow the method.
In the method section, author should use past tense, passive voice and transition words. Furthermore, author must write in sentences and paragraphs. Author may include figures and tables in this section, if necessary.
The contents in the method sections could be materials and equipments, models, sampling teqnique, measured variables, analysis method, statistics, etc.
Results and Discussion : Results are presented in figures, tables and text. Figures can be graphs, photographs, drawings, or diagrams. Author can place the figures and tables anywhere within the results section, but they should be presented in a logical order, corresponding with the method section. Insert verbs in the figure caption. Notes for the figure go here, under the figure caption. Verbs can be used in the notes. The figure caption goes below the figure, and the table title goes above. Author can also write notes below the table, if necessary.
Also note that the font size of the figure caption, table title and notes is smaller than the other text.
In the results section, authors describe what they observed; however, in the discussion section authors try to understand the results and explain what they mean. The discussion section is the place to interpret the results, explain what’s new, and why it matters. In the discussion, authors can compare results from their own study, or compare our results with results from other researchers’ studies.
Materi Diskusi utamanya berisikan terkait, apakah hasilnya konsistem atau tidak dengan hipotesis, dan mengedepankan argumen.
Conclusion : Write conclusions from the research or study. Authors also can add future challenges or advice regarding the research for the researchers in the same topic.
