The manuscript should meet JSeD standard format, include Title, Authors, Abstract, Introduction, Research Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusions and Suggestions, Acknowledgments, and References. The composition of the review or literature study can be adjusted and still contains Abstract, Introduction, Conclusions and Suggestions, Acknowledgments, and References.

The manuscript is typed at one side of the white paper of A4 size, in a single column, 1.5 space line. The length of the whole manuscript ranges from 4500 to 8000 words, not including Tables and Figures. The authors prepare the manuscript format following the terms of the journal template (the main manuscript and the title page).  The author makes sure that the main manuscript does not contain any identity of the author(s) or affiliation to ensure a double-blind review process.  The identity of the author(s) is written on the title page in a separate file and included in the supplement file in OJS submission. 

Articles Writing Format

1. The Title.  The title of the paper should be concise and informative. Avoid abbreviations and formulas where possible. It should be written clearly and concisely describing the contents of the research. The title must be written in capital letters in each word. The number of words in the title should be no more than 15 words.

2. The Author. The manuscript has the main author and co-authors with the full name of the author and co-authors (no abbreviation), includes an address (es) and email addresses clearly.  The authorship of the journal requires at least two authors.

3. Abstract. The abstract contains a brief description of the objective or purpose of the research, the approach or method used, important results, and discussion or policy implications. If the article is in the form of a literature review, the abstract consists of background, purpose, and discussion or policy implications. The abstract should not contain References or non-standard abbreviations. The abstract should be 175- 220 words in length and easily understood by all parties.

4. Keyword. The keywords should be avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts. Do not use words or terms in the title as keywords. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes. Keywords should not more than 5 words or phrases in alphabetical order.

5. JEL Classification (Journal of Economic Literature). JEL shows a standard method of classifying scholarly literature in the field of economics. Write three JEL classification codes of the field of research that are included in the manuscript. 

6. Introduction. 

• The introduction describes the arguments on why the article contains interesting research and why it is important to be conducted. The author does not need to write a sub-chapter of literature review, it should be integrated into the background or research problem, and written in a flowing narrative to strengthen the argument for the urgency of the research. Introduction generally contains the aspect of the deduction, meaning that it states a conceptual framework (from critical literature review) to solve a specific problem.  To answer that, the introduction should contain the background, state of the art of the research that was previously conducted on the same topic, and gap analysis to show where the research contributions were made to the development of the topic discourse (novelty). 
• An introduction should contain quantitative data, along with relevant literature.  The author should not display tables or images but rather directed to describe phenomena or problems.  The author should use the most relevant and recent literature (in the last ten years). The Introduction ends with the formulation of research objectives to be achieved. The purpose of the research clearly states the steps of research work to solve the problem. As you compose the introduction, think of readers who are not experts in this field.
• The entire introduction should be presented in a straightforward and concise manner with a portion of no more than 30 percent of the total pages, or 1000-1500 words in length approximately. 

7. Research Method. 

• The research method includes items of (i) research approach, specific time and area of research; (ii) the types and sources of data, and information collection techniques, and research variables studied; and (iii) data analysis methods, example: contains data retrieval techniques (sample) and analysis of the data used. For a literature review, there is no need for a Research Method. This can be replaced with other topics such as basic concepts of science, conditions that are happening. Hypothesis testing is not a requirement to be presented. The hypothesis should not be expressed in H0 vs H1, but may verify what has been described in the introduction. 
• In the research, the method may be displayed as an illustration of images, maps, flow charts, mathematical formulas, or models. Images or maps are displayed from jpg files, which have been fixed, in the form of a black-white or color image (at least 400 kb).  For methods composed of long descriptions, it is not necessary to display them all but to shorten and indicate their reference source. 
• The overall methods should be presented straightforwardly and concisely of no more than 20 percent of the total page, or ranges from 750 to 1,500 words. 

8. Result and Discussion. 

• The results and discussion are presented in at least three sub-chapters, including (i) the characteristics of respondents or an overview of the research object, (ii) findings or results of analysis, and (iii) research implications. The authors present the respondent characteristics or area overview as the initial findings of the research. This is useful as a baseline for how this situation is expected to be addressed to find solutions to research problems
• The results and the discussions is presented without having to firmly separate between the parts. It should illustrate and follow the sequence of the research objectives. The results present the empirical findings of the research conducted, while the discussions discuss the findings obtained. The illustration in the form of statistical analysis is presented proportionally. It is not necessary to write down the understanding of hypothesis H0 vs H1. For example, the estimation result of the regression analysis is sufficiently expressed through t-test symbols or F
• Discussions of findings present the story behind the data and compare the results obtained with those of the previous studies. Comparison with other research results also serves to indicate the position of the research conducted in the middle of the discourse of relevant topics. In the end section, Research implications are presented to highlight how research findings are used for policy and development purposes (750-1,500 words), by looking at issues from socioeconomic aspects of relevance and need. This is expected to provide a comprehensive perspective on various aspects of an article. Authors are encouraged to use relevant citations and write arguments to support the statement or narrative that they want to highlight
• The unit of measurement used should follow the prevailing international system. All figures and tables placed within manuscript pages and should be active and editable by the editor.  Illustrations are displayed from jpg files, which have been fixed, in the form of a black-white or color image.  For manuscripts in the form of literature reviews, results may be replaced by other topics such as current conditions, policies, or developments.
• The overall Results and Discussions should be presented in a straightforward and concise manner with at least 50 percent of the total pages, or 2,500-3,500 words approximately.

9. Conclusion and Suggestion. 

• The conclusion should be in the form of a response from the intended purpose and is not intended as a summary of the results. The conclusion should contain quantitative data or brief descriptions that confirm that the research objectives are achieved or not. Do not write formulas, markers or statistical symbols in conclusions.  The suggestion is in the form of follow-up (implication) to be done in connection with the findings or conclusions of the author. Suggestion placed after the conclusion contains a recommendation on the research done or input that can be used directly by society, industry, government as the implication of the utilization of research results.
• The overall conclusions and recommendations should be presented straightforwardly and concisely with approximately 5 - 10 percent of the total pages, or ranges from 500 to 1,000 words.

10. Acknowledgments (optional). It contains a thank you to those who deserve (donors/sponsors), materials contributors, and research facilities.

11. References. 

• The author writes a list of publications or references, which used in the introduction, research methods, and results and discussion. The references should be within the last 10 years with at least 80% journal references. The number of references included throughout the main manuscript comes from at least 20 citations. All references are listed in alphabetical order using the American Psychological Association 6th edition (APA) style. Check each reference against the original source (author name, year, title, volume/issue, number, page, and DOI link). Authors are required to use Mendeley Reference Manager. 
• Unpublished data and personal communication should not be cited as literature citations. In Press articles that have been accepted for publication may be cited in references. Include in the citation the journal in which the in press article will appear and the publication date if a date is available.
