1. Introduction

Accepted manuscripts are research results or other research methods that fit the Focus and Scope of CosmoGov: Jurnal Ilmu Pemerintahan. The manuscript texts are written in English. Editorial boards will first review manuscripts. The main text of a manuscript must be submitted as a Word document (.doc) or Rich Text Format (.rtf) file. The manuscript consists of 3000 - 6000 words, well-typed in double columns on A4-size paper, using the font Times New Roman. The manuscript contains original work and could potentially contribute to highly scientific advancement.

2. How to Write the Title, the Name, and the Author's Address

The title of the manuscript should be written at the top of the first page with the center text aligned. Meanwhile, the author's name (without academic degree), affiliation author, affiliation address and country should be written with the center text alignment under the article's title. The author should give two line spaces between the title and the author's name. Then, the space between the author's affiliation address and the abstract title is one space. The keywords for all words must be written below the overall abstract. Those should be arranged alphabetically and separated by semicolons, maximally three to five words.

The responsible author, the correspondence author, or the corresponding author must be written first, followed by the second, the third, and so on. The communication regarding the article revision and the final statement will be communicated via email to the author of the correspondence only. If there is more than one author, the author's name should be written down separately by a comma (,). The first name should not be shortened if the author's name consists of at least two words. If the author's name is only one word, they should be written as they are. However, the online version will be repeatedly written in two words with the same name for the metadata indexing. (Camdali and Tunc, 2006; Fridman, 2008).

3. The Manuscript General Guidelines

The manuscript text's general guidelines are as follows:

1. The manuscript is an authentic research result that has not been published yet in other publication media or publishing houses.
2. Since 2017, the manuscript should be written in English as the standard language. The manuscript text ought to be written using this article template. The article is written on A4-sized papers, with custom margins: left 40 mm, right 30 mm, bottom 30 mm, and top 30 mm, Times New Roman theme font, 12pt font size, and 1.15 line spacing.
3. The manuscript is typed using the Microsoft Word program on A4 paper. It is around 3,000-6,000 words, including figures, tables, and references.
4. The manuscript does not contain any plagiarism elements. The editorial board will directly reject the text that indicates plagiarism. We use plagiarism software to check your manuscript.
5. The manuscript article writing guidelines and template can be downloaded. The template and the article writing guidelines are available in MS Word (.doc) format.
6. The manuscript online submission can be viewed in the part of the online submission guidelines below.
7. The manuscript that does not meet the Cosmogov writing guidelines will be returned to the author before the reviewing process.
8. The manuscript should contain several aspects of a scientific article as follows (subtitles in order), which are: (a) the title of the article, (b) the author's name (no academic title), (c) the affiliated author's address, (d) the author's email (e) the abstract and the keywords, (f) the introduction, (g) the research method, (h) the research findings and discussion, (i) the conclusion, (j) the references, (k) acknowledgment (if available).
9. The subtitles included in the discussion part (Introduction, Methods, Findings and Discussion, and Conclusion) should not be numbered. They are written in bold and title case format, using the left text alignment without an underline. The next expanded subtitles should be written in bold and sentence case format, using the left text alignment and the numbering format level two.
10. The words from uncommon or foreign languages are stated in Italic format. Each paragraph starts at 10mm from the left side border, with no spaces among the paragraphs. All numbers are written in Arabic numbering format, except for the new sentence.
11. The tables and pictures are placed in the text group after the referenced tables or pictures. Each picture must be given a caption and source (Figure Caption) below the picture and be numbered in Arabic numbering format followed by the picture title. Each table must be given a table title (Table Caption) and numbered in Arabic numbering format above the table, followed by the table title and source below the table. The picture attachments should be guaranteed to be printed well in black and white ink (font size, resolution, and line space are seen). The picture, the table, and the chart should be placed in the center between text groups. It can be placed in the center of a page if it is bigger. The table should not contain vertical lines, while horizontal lines are allowed only for the important point.

4. The Guidelines for the Manuscript Body Text

The title of the manuscript: The title should be informative and be written both briefly and clearly. It cannot have multiple interpretations. It has to be pinpointed with the issues that will be discussed. The beginning word is written in a capital case and symmetrically. The article title does not contain any uncommon abbreviations. The main ideas should be written first and followed then by their explanations. The article title should be written in 12-15 words only, in 14pt-sized font, with the bold selection, and in the center text format.

Abstract: The abstract must be written within 200 words maximum, followed by three to five keywords, and arranged alphabetically. An abstract must contain research objectives, methods, results, conclusions, and limitations (optional). Abstract written in 1 space line and 12 font size Times New Roman.

Introduction: The text should provide an exposition of the context, issues, and significance of the study, followed by a concise evaluation of relevant literature that directly pertains to the research or builds upon earlier findings. It should conclude with a paragraph outlining the research objectives. It is crucial to maintain an equilibrium between the theoretical and practical parts of the subject.The introduction is structured in paragraphs consisting of around 1000 words each.

Methods: Ensure that the work is replicable based on the specified specifications. The manuscript provides a concise and easily understandable presentation of the study's technical material. Consequently, readers can conduct research using the approaches that have been done. Specifications for materials and equipment are essential. The study must include the presentation of study approaches or techniques, as well as the data analysis method.

Findings and Discussion:

This section presents the research findings, analyzes them, and interprets them. Sufficient data must substantiate the findings. The study's conclusions should directly address the problem and research objectives previously outlined in the introduction.
The debate should include:
1. Have the data research results been analyzed (not raw)? Information can be elucidated using visual aids such as tables or figures rather than relying solely on verbal communication. This section often provides information on a topic's "what" and "how" aspects.
2. Does the author offer a scientific explanation for each outcome or findings they describe (why)?
3. Do the study findings align with the findings provided by other researchers (in addition)? Alternatively, is there a distinction?

Suppose there are tables or figures to be adjusted to the size of the tables or figures. See template.

The use of subtitles in the discussion is in accordance with the purposes of the discussion. Example:
Sub Chapter 1 (Times New Roman 12, bolded)
Sub-sub Chapter 1
Sub-sub Chapter 2
Sub-sub Chapter 3
Sub Chapter 2 (Times New Roman 12, bolded)
Sub Chapter 3 (Times New Roman 12, bold)

Conclusion: Conclusions should address the study issues and not be conveyed via statistical statements. The explanation should be presented in coherent paragraphs with hyperlinks connecting different material pieces. Utilize terminology with significant significance within science and refrain from employing statistical or methodological technical jargon.
