TITLE, AUTHOR NAMES, AND AFFILIATION

The manuscript title must be centered at the top of the first page. Author names (without academic titles) and their institutional affiliations should be clearly written below the title. Keywords should be listed alphabetically, consisting of three to five words.

The corresponding author should be listed first, followed by the second, third, and subsequent authors. All communications regarding article revision and final decisions will be sent via email to the corresponding author only. If there is more than one author, the second author's name should be placed next to the first author’s name, separated by a comma (,). If an author's name consists of at least two words, the first word must not be abbreviated. If the author has only one name, it should be written as it is. However, for online publication, the author’s name will be duplicated to meet metadata indexing requirements (e.g., Eridani, 2006; Imron and Wahyudi, 2010).
