ABSTRACT
The abstract appears after the title page and author information in the manuscript. The abstract must be integrated and independent consisting of an introduction and objectives, methods, results, conclusions and suggestions. A concise and concrete abstract is required that briefly expresses the exploratory objectives, main results, and significant conclusions. References may not be included, but author and year should be cited if necessary.

Finally, the abstract must not exceed 250 words, must be written in 1 paragraph, and in two languages, Indonesian and English.
KEYWORDS
Keywords should be provided below the abstract to help with search commands (3-6 keywords). We recommend keywords specific to the article, but fairly general within the subject discipline.
INTRODUCTION
The introduction should briefly place the study in its broad context and highlight why it is important. It must define the purpose of the work and its significance, including the specific hypothesis being tested. The current state of the research field should be carefully reviewed and major publications cited. Please highlight controversial and diverging hypotheses where appropriate. Finally, briefly state the main goals of the research and highlight the main conclusions. Keep the introduction understandable to scientists working off the topic of the paper.
The introduction explains the general review background, contains the state of the art to justify or strengthen new statements from the article. Therefore, reference support from journals from the last 10 years is needed to strengthen the justification for the authority or contribution. Gap analysis (originality) or a statement of novelty contribution must be described clearly and explicitly, or the unique differences of this research compared to previous studies, also in terms of whether the research is important. In general, the introductory section needs to explain:
- Research background
- Research purposes
- Summary of existing literature
- Reasons for the importance of research
METHOD
Methods should be described in detail to allow others to replicate and build on published results. New methods and protocols should be described in detail while familiar methods can be briefly described and appropriately cited. Methods should be divided into subsections if multiple methods are described. All materials and methods that use these chemicals for analysis, treatment, and experimental design must be stated clearly and briefly. The theory section should expand on, not repeat, the background of the article covered in the Introduction and lay the foundation for further work. The calculation part is a practical development of the theoretical basis. In general, the methods section should include:
- Research objectives, design and setting
- Characteristics of participants or description of materials
- Clear description of all processes and methodologies involved, which involve the use of generic names. In addition, when a proprietary mark is used in the study, the brand name must be included in brackets.
- The type of statistical analysis used, including power calculations where appropriate
- Studies involving human participants, or data or tissue from animals need to provide a statement of ethical approval and approval
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The results and discussion need to include research findings including statistical analysis results, which need to be included both in the text and as appropriate and consistent tables and figures. Furthermore, this section needs to discuss the impact of the findings in the context of existing research and highlight the research's limitations. The results and discussion provide a concise and precise description of the experimental results, their interpretation and the experimental conclusions that can be drawn. Writers should discuss the results and interpret them in the perspective of previous research and hypotheses. The findings and implications should be discussed in the broadest possible context and the limitations of the work highlighted. Future research directions may also be mentioned. This section can be combined with Results.
CONCLUSION
Conclusions are written clearly, briefly and systematically, answering the problem or purpose. Conclusions are needed to provide clarification about the importance and relevance of research to related fields. The conclusion should be written in a paragraph.
