Author Guidelines

The journal welcomes student research articles, conceptual studies, case studies, and innovative projects that demonstrate academic reasoning, scientific methodology, and practical relevance. However, submissions must align with the multidisciplinary focus and academic standards of the journal.

CRediT Declaration Requirement

All authors are required to provide an Author Contributions Statement using the 14 CRediT contributor roles during manuscript submission.

The corresponding author must ensure that each contributor's role is accurately identified and agreed upon by all listed authors.

The CRediT statement must also be included in the submitted manuscript, preferably in a separate section entitled "Author Contributions", before the References section.

Authors should use the official CRediT taxonomy to identify their respective contributions.

Failure to provide an adequate author contribution statement may result in a request for technical revision before the manuscript proceeds to the peer-review process.

Submission Guideline

All manuscripts must be prepared using the OFFICIAL JOURNAL TEMPLATE . Submissions that do not conform to the prescribed template, formatting requirements, and manuscript structure may be returned to the authors for revision before entering the peer-review process. Authors are encouraged to carefully follow the template to ensure consistency, readability, and compliance with the journal's publication standards.

Submissions should fulfill the following criteria:

The manuscript must be an original work conducted by undergraduate or postgraduate students.
The study must contain a clear research problem, objectives, and contribution relevant to the selected field.
The manuscript should apply appropriate research methods, analytical approaches, or implementation frameworks.
Articles must demonstrate academic rigor, logical reasoning, and proper scientific writing.
Research findings should provide practical, theoretical, or societal implications.
Quantitative, qualitative, experimental, comparative, development-based, or case-study approaches are acceptable.
For technology-related studies, the manuscript should include system design, implementation process, architecture, or evaluation results where applicable.
For management, business, social sciences, economics, accounting, and education studies, the manuscript should include analytical discussion, empirical findings, or practical recommendations.
Literature reviews are accepted only if they provide critical analysis, synthesis, and clear academic contributions.
Pure opinion articles, non-scientific essays, unpublished assignments without research methodology, or manuscripts lacking academic analysis will not be considered.
All submissions must follow ethical publication standards, including originality, proper citation, and avoidance of plagiarism.
Manuscripts may be written in Indonesian or English and must comply with the journal template and author guidelines.

Article Structure

1. Introduction

Contains, in sequence: general background, research problems, review of prior studies (state of the art) as the basis for scientific novelty, statement of novelty, and research questions/hypotheses. The section concludes with the objectives of the study. A separate literature review section is not required.

2. Theoretical Framework

Presented as a state-of-the-art review and conceptual development based on previous studies to emphasize scientific novelty, not as a conventional literature review.

3. Methods

Describes the research methodology, problem-solving approach, and analysis techniques used. Figure descriptions must be written as figure captions, not embedded within the images.

4. Results and Discussion

Presents research findings supported by data and accompanied by scientific explanations (patterns, relationships, and underlying phenomena). Results should be compared with previous studies and must address the research objectives or hypotheses.

5. Conclusion

Summarizes the main findings and answers the research objectives or hypotheses. It should not repeat the results but highlight key insights. Suggestions for future research may be included.

References

A minimum of 15 references is required.
At least 80% must be from scientific journals (primary sources).
References should be published within the last 5 years.
Use APA 6th Edition citation style.

Authors are strongly encouraged to use reference management software such as Mendeley, EndNote, or Zotero.
