The title of the manuscript should be written on the top of the first page with the center text alignment. Meanwhile, the author’s name (without academic degree), and the affiliation address of the author, should be written in the left-bottom part of the article. The author should give two line spaces between the title and the author’s name. The keywords must be written below the overall abstract for all words. Those should be arranged in alphabetical order and be separated by comma.

The responsible author, the correspondence author, or the corresponding author must be written first and then followed by the second, the third, and so on. The communication regarding the article revision and the final statement will be informed via email to the correspondence author only. If there is more than one author, the author’s names should be written down separatedly by comma (,). If the author’s name consists of at least two words, the first name should not be shorted. If the author’s names are only one word, it should be written as it is. However, in the online version it will be written in two words with the same name repeatedly for the purpose of the metadata indexing, for example (R Fitria and DK Arif, 2017; C Imron and M Yunus, 2015).
