Author Guidelines

The title should be no more than 15 words, written concisely, clearly, and informatively, and avoid abbreviations.

Author/author team name (written without titles)
1, 2, 3 Name of institution (simply write the department and university/college, or directly the name of the non-university institution)

Abstract:
The abstract should be written in English format consistent with the language of the entire article. The abstract should be between 125-200 words long. It should contain at least four elements: (1) the purpose/basic research question; (2) the theory and methods used; (3) a summary of the results/analysis of the findings; and (4) conclusions. Therefore, avoid writing a long-winded abstract and try to focus on these four elements. However, the abstract should not explain technical matters, but rather logical and rational arguments or findings. The abstract is a brief explanation of the substance of the paper, therefore, avoid citations in this abstract.

Keywords:
Keywords are words created to facilitate the search of an article. Therefore, use keywords that clearly indicate the content of the article and can also serve as a basis for searching the article online. The number of keywords should be between 3-5 words or phrases. If using phrases, it is recommended that no more than 3 words be used in a phrase. Try to keep keywords specific and convey the main substance of the article. Keywords are separated by a semicolon (;).

Introduction
The introduction should contain a description of the paper's focus and the author's main argument, which will be presented throughout the body of the paper. Authors may use the subtitle "Introduction" or other descriptive words as long as the substance serves to introduce the reader to the purpose of the paper. It is recommended that the total introduction not exceed 30% of the entire manuscript. For examples of how to write an introduction, please examine articles published in various reputable and accredited journals in the last three years.
The introduction should explain at least some of the points below. However, these points are not sub-chapters or sub-discussions, but rather input on what should be included in the introduction, including:

  1. Background of the problem.
  2. State of the art. An exploration of previous literature on the same or similar issues to the manuscript being written.
  3. Gap analysis. The importance or uniqueness of this research, or an attempt to fill gaps/limitations (missing links) in previous studies.
  4. Research objectives. (Maximum one paragraph, may be stated directly in the opening paragraph of the Introduction)
  5. Theoretical framework. Several theoretical frameworks used should also be used throughout the discussion. If there are many theoretical frameworks, a separate sub-chapter may be created, written together with the methods.
  6. Research methods (Maximum two paragraphs). Except for quantitative methods, a separate sub-chapter may be created combined with the theoretical framework.

The points above are written in flowing paragraphs and do not have to be sequential, nor are they structured as sub-chapters within the Introduction. However, it is permissible to split the "Introduction" section into a maximum of two sub-chapters, as long as the total composition of the "Introduction" section does not exceed 30% of the entire manuscript.
In writing an introduction, authors are required to cite similar literature or previous research. Therefore, authors are required to carry out a proper and correct citation process. The citation style permitted by our journal is the use of bodynotes and endnotes; footnotes are prohibited. Bodynotes are for indicating references/literature, while endnotes are for providing additional explanations deemed necessary by the author.

Discussion (Sub-Chapter Titles Directly Include the Findings Phrase)
Do not use sub-chapter titles with the word "Discussion." Align the sub-chapter title with the substance or phrase "Findings" directly. This discussion section presents the findings and data, both field and literature, that align with the basic research questions as stated in the introduction. It is recommended to divide this section into several sub-chapters, as deemed important. For example, how to write a discussion, please familiarize yourself with carefully reviewing articles published in various reputable and accredited journals in the last three years.
In writing a discussion, authors are advised to continue citations to other literature. The citation procedure follows the explanation in the Introduction, namely by using body notes and endnotes. The purpose of citation is to emphasize the findings. This means that the discussion is not simply an explanation of the data and findings, but rather an analysis that remains connected in a discussion with previous literature.
In this section, tables and figures appear directly in the manuscript. For tables, graphs, and charts, a title should be included at the top and a citation at the bottom. Pointer-based explanations are still permitted in the discussion, but only in moderation and not in excessive amounts.

Conclusion
This section contains the final conclusions of the entire discussion. The conclusion is the final idea based on the results of the entire review in the article. The conclusion is not a repetition of the results and discussion, so it no longer reviews field data. The conclusion is more of a generalization or abstract simplification of the answer to the objective of the manuscript. In this sub-chapter, the author is permitted to provide suggestions, but they should be presented in a flowing paragraph, without sub-chapter separation. A point-by-point approach to the conclusion is prohibited.

Bibliography
The bibliography should be written using the standard American Psychological Association (APA) format, compiled using a Reference Manager tool such as Mendeley, Zotero, Endote 9, or similar. Furthermore, when writing an article, it is recommended to use at least 15 credible journal references from the last 10 years. It is also advisable to cite articles from various reputable and accredited journals.

List of Sources (if any)
Contains the name of the source, position/description, date of interview, and time of interview.

Notes (if any)
Notes or endnotes are permitted only to provide additional explanations regarding data or information, not as source references. They are typically used to explain foreign or very local terms. This journal uses the bodynote citation model, so footnotes are not permitted. Endnotes are used only to provide additional explanations.
Example:

  1. Tosera is a commercial area in Jepara. Kiosks in the Tosera area are generally built along the border and back onto the Wiso River. The Tosera area is the forerunner of Jepara's shopping centers.
  2. The term "junk cities" refers to cities that are monotonous, similar, boring, and lack identity.
