Submission Requirements: Manuscripts should adhere to the Jurnal Lemhannas RI template (download here). The editorial team accepts submissions from various research institutions. Submitted manuscripts must present research conducted within the last five years, should not have been previously published or under review by any other publication, and must have been approved by co-authors (if applicable), who share responsibility for the research content. The publisher does not assume liability for compensation claims related to submitted manuscripts. Submissions are to be made via the designated link, with manuscripts prepared in MS Word, single-spaced, with margins of 2.5 cm on the left and 2 cm on the top, right, and bottom. Manuscripts should use Times New Roman font, size 12, and should not exceed 15 pages, including tables, figures, and appendices.

Manuscript Structure: Manuscripts should be organized as follows: Title (in Indonesian, followed by English), author(s) and affiliation(s), email address, abstract in both Indonesian and English (maximum of 250 words), and keywords in both languages. The main sections include Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, References, and Appendices (if applicable).

Title: The title should be concise (maximum of 15 words), factual, and informative, accurately reflecting the manuscript's content. Author names and affiliations, along with a complete address and email, should be listed directly below the title.

Abstract: The abstract should succinctly present the research background, objectives, methods, conclusions, and implications. The English abstract must be an accurate translation of the Indonesian abstract. Keywords should follow the abstract in both languages and describe the scope of the study and key terms relevant to the research. Keywords may be single or compound words, typically numbering 3–5, and facilitate the computerization and indexing of the research title and abstract.

Introduction: The introduction must include:

1. 1. 1. 1. A presentation of the primary research topic or study area.
         2. A review of recent literature (ideally from the past ten years) relevant to the topic, including citations of recent studies.
         3. Identification of gaps in existing research, inconsistencies, or controversies within the literature.
         4. A statement of the research problem, objectives, context, and unit of analysis.
         5. An outline of the article's structure and what will be discussed in each section.

Methods: This section should describe the research or study's steps in detail, justifying the method's reliability and validity in yielding credible findings. The methods section should explain the research procedures, tools, materials, media or instruments used, research design, population and sample (or research targets), data collection techniques, instrument development, and data analysis methods. Headings within the methods should be incorporated into paragraphs rather than presented as bullet points or numbered lists. For qualitative research, such as classroom action research or case studies, include information on the researcher’s presence, subjects, informants, data collection methods, research location and duration, and strategies for verifying findings.

Results and Discussion: The results and discussion section should adhere to the following guidelines:

1. 1. 1. 1. Present the findings concisely, with enough detail to support the conclusions.
         2. Use tables or figures as needed, but avoid redundancy by not repeating the same information; provide descriptive captions below each table or figure for clarity.
         3. Ensure that each finding is clearly interpreted using standard academic language.

Data analysis steps, such as statistical calculations or hypothesis testing, need not be detailed—only the outcomes of these analyses should be reported. Tables and graphs may be used to visually convey the results, accompanied by commentary or references to prior research from reputable scientific journals.

The discussion should:

1. 1. 1. 1. Address the research questions or problem formulation.
         2. Describe how the findings were obtained.
         3. Interpret the findings.
         4. Relate the findings to established knowledge.
         5. Propose new theories or modifications to existing theories by comparing the results with prior studies in reputable journals.

When interpreting findings, the results should be explicitly connected to previous research. The interpretation should draw on existing theories or prior empirical studies, especially those published in well-regarded international and national journals, such as Scopus or Sinta-indexed publications.

Conclusion: The conclusion summarizes the research findings, aligning with the research questions and objectives. If there are multiple conclusions, list them in a numbered format within the paragraph, rather than using bullet points. Authors may also discuss potential applications of the research findings and suggest directions for future research.

Acknowledgments: Optional, to be included if deemed necessary.

Tables: Titles should be brief and clear, allowing each table to stand alone. Tables must be sequentially numbered as referenced in the text, with notes placed below each table. Use letters (e.g., a, b, c) for significance markers and numbers (e.g., 1, 2, 3) for table notes.

Figures and Images: Graphs should have sufficiently thick lines, proportional scaling, sequential numbering, and relevant descriptions. Include the data source for ease of printing. Photos must be unaltered, in black-and-white or color, with good contrast and distinct details (NO BLURRING).

Citation and References: Use Mendeley for APA (6th edition) citation style. The comprehensive citation guide is available at Mendeley’s APA Citation Guide. Citation formats are as follows:

• Single Author: Hendra (2014) or (Hendra, 2014).
• Two Authors: Jones and Wang (2011) or (Jones & Wang, 2011).
• Three to Five Authors: Mitchell, Smith, and Thomson (2017) or (Mitchell, Smith, & Thomson, 2017), with subsequent citations abbreviated as Mitchell et al. (2017) or (Mitchell et al., 2017).
• Six or More Authors: Herdian et al. (2019) or (Herdian et al., 2019).
• Multiple Works in the Same Year: (Mitchell, 2017a) or (Mitchell, 2017b).

Reference List Requirements:

1. Arrange references alphabetically.
2. All cited sources must be listed in the references section.
3. Include access dates for online sources.
4. At least 15 references should come from journals with a DOI.
5. At least 60% of sources should be from journals published within the last five years.
6. DOI numbers must be included where applicable.
