The manuscript should follow the KLS template containing 5000 – 7000 words, A4 paper sized with 200 – 250 words of abstract. It should be written in Times New Roman 11, single-spaced with APA (American Psychological Association) referencing style.

Quotations

Quotations should be integrated into the text, except for those exceeding three lines. Separate quotations should be formatted with Left indent: 0.5 and Right Indent:0.5, without quotation marks.

Bullets and numbering

Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering). Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to 'the text'. Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its own separate line.

Bullet and numbering within body text are not recommended. All sentences should be typed as descriptive paragraphs.

Tables

Tables are sequentially numbered with the table title and number above the table (11pt). Tables should be centered in the column OR on the page. Tables should be followed by a line space. Elements of a table should be single-spaced (9pt). However, double spacing can be used to show groupings of data or to separate parts within the table. Table headings should be horizontal in 9pt. Tables are referred to in the text by the table number, e.g., Table 1. Do not show the vertical line in the table. There is only a horizontal line that should be shown in the table, as well as the table heading (see template).

Figures and charts

Figures and charts are sequentially numbered commencing at 1, for example, with the figure/chart title and number below the figure/chart as shown in Figure 1/Chart Detailed recommendations for figures and charts are as follows:

1. Ensure that figures and charts are clear and legible with typed letterings.

2. Black & white or colored figures and charts are allowed.

3. If a figure or chart spans two columns, it should be placed at the bottom of a page.

Structure of the manuscript

The structure of the manuscript consists of three parts:

1. The Essential Title Page Information (one-column)

Title: Identify the main issue of the article. Begin with the subject of the article. The title should be accurate, unambiguous, specific, and complete. Do not contain infrequently-used abbreviations. The title of the paper should be in max 20 words, 18pt, no bold, Title Case, center.

Author Name: Write Author(s) names without a title and professional positions such as Prof, Dr, Production Manager, etc. Do not abbreviate your last/family name. Always give your First and Last names. The author name of the paper should also be in 12pt, no bold, Capitalize Each Word, center.

Affiliation and Address: Write clear affiliation of all Authors. Affiliation includes the name of university, address, and country. Please indicate Corresponding Author (include email address) by adding an asterisk (*) in superscript behind the name. If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address' (or 'Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes. The Affiliation and Address name of the paper should be in 9pt, italic, no bold, center.

e-mail addresses: Write all of the author's emails below the affiliation and address 12pt (Times New Roman font) followed by an initial of the authors except the last name in bracket. For example, [email protected] (Y. Sulistyono).

 

2. Abstract and keywords (right-column)

The Abstract: (12pt) a concise and factual abstract is required (of between 200-250 words): The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results, and major conclusions. For this reason, References should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s).

Keywords: (12pt) Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, "and", "of"). These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.

 

3. Content of Articles (one-column)

The Content of articles (12pt) is divided into:

INTRODUCTION (15-20% of the total article length)

Authors should state the objectives of the work at the end of the introduction section. Before the objective, the Authors should provide an adequate background, and a very short literature survey in order to record the existing solutions/method, to show which is the best of previous studies, to show the main limitation of the previous research, to show what you hope to achieve (to solve the limitation) and to show what scientific merit or novelties of your paper is. Avoid a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Do not describe literature survey as author by author, but should be presented as a group per method or topic reviewed which refers to some references.

Example of a novelty statement or the gap analysis statement at the end of the Introduction section (after the state of the art of the previous research survey): “........ (short summary of background)....... A few researchers focused on ....... There have been limited studies concerned on ........ Therefore, this research intends to ................. The objectives of this research are .........”.

RESEARCH METHODS (10-15% of the total article length)

The research method for research-based articles consists of descriptions concerning the research design, data sources, data collection, and data analysis.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION (40-60% of the total article length)

Results should be clear and concise. The results should summarize (scientific) findings rather than provide data in great detail. Please highlight the differences between your results or findings and the previous publications by other researchers. The discussion should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.

In discussion, it is the most important section of your article. Here you get the chance to sell your data. Make the discussion correspond to the results, but do not reiterate the results. Often should begin with a brief summary of the main scientific findings (not experimental results).

The following components should be covered in the discussion: How do your results relate to the original question or objectives outlined in the Introduction section (what/how)? Do you provide an interpretation scientifically for each of your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results consistent with what other investigators have reported (what else)? Or are there any differences?

CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION (5-10% of the total article length)

Conclusions should answer the objectives of the research. Tells how your work advances the field from the present state of knowledge. Without clear Conclusions, reviewers and readers will find it difficult to judge the work, and whether or not it merits publication in the journal. Do not repeat the Abstract, or just list experimental results. Provide a clear scientific justification for your work, and indicate possible applications and extensions. You should also suggest future experiments and/or point out those that are underway.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT (5-10% of the total article length)

Recognize those who helped in the research, especially funding supporters of your research. Include individuals who have assisted you in your study: Advisors, Financial supporters, or may another supporter, i.e. Proofreaders, Typists, and Suppliers, who may have given materials. Do not acknowledge one of the authors' names.

REFERENCES (10-15% of the total article length)

- Management reference applications, such as Mendeley, Zotero, or Endnote, are advised to be used by authors when citing a reference and creating the bibliography in the manuscript.
