Author Guidelines

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 comprises 3000 words (minimum), well-typed in a single column on A4-size paper, using 11 pt of Tahoma. The manuscript contains original work and has potentially contributed to highly scientific advancement.

You can use this list to check your submission before you send it to the journal for review. Please check the relevant section in this Guide for Authors for more details.

Please see our information pages on Publication Ethics.

Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract, a published lecture, or an academic thesis, see 'Multiple, redundant or concurrent publications' for more information), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, including electronically without the written consent of the copyright holder. To verify originality, your article may be checked by the originality detection service Turnitin Similarity Check.

Inclusive language acknowledges diversity, respects everyone, is sensitive to differences, and promotes equal opportunities. Content should make no assumptions about the beliefs or commitments of any reader; contain nothing that might imply that one individual is superior to another on the grounds of age, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disability, or health condition; and use inclusive language throughout. Authors should ensure that writing is free from bias, stereotypes, slang, references to the dominant culture, and/or cultural assumptions. We advise seeking gender neutrality by using plural nouns ("clinicians, patients/clients") as default/wherever possible to avoid using "he, she," or "he/she." We recommend avoiding using descriptors that refer to personal attributes such as age, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disability, or health condition unless they are relevant and valid. These guidelines are meant as a point of reference to help identify appropriate language but are not exhaustive or definitive.

Each author must declare his or her contribution to the article: all authors must have materially participated in the research and/or article preparation, so roles for all authors should be described. All authors' approval of the final article should be true and included in the disclosure.

Authors are expected to consider carefully the list and order of authors before submitting their manuscript and provide the definitive list of authors at the time of the original submission. Any addition, deletion, or rearrangement of author names in the authorship list should be made only before the manuscript has been accepted and only if approved by the journal Editor. To request such a change, the Editor must receive the following from the corresponding author: a) the reason for the change in the author list and b) written confirmation (e-mail, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal, or rearrangement. In the case of adding or removing authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed. Only in exceptional circumstances will the Editor consider the authors' addition, deletion, or rearrangement after the manuscript has been accepted. While the Editor considers the request, the publication of the manuscript will be suspended. If the manuscript has already been published in an online issue, any requests approved by the Editor will result in a corrigendum.

Please write your text in good English (American or British usage is accepted, but not a mixture). Authors who feel their English language manuscript may require editing to eliminate possible grammatical or spelling errors and to conform to correct scientific English may wish to use the English Language Editing service.

Our online submission system guides you stepwise through the process of entering your article details and uploading your files. The system converts your article files to a single PDF file used in the peer-review process. Editable files (e.g., Word, LaTeX) are required to typeset your article for final publication. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revision, is sent by e-mail.

a. Title
The title of articles in English should describe the main content of manuscripts, be informative, concise, and not too wordy (maximum containing 20 words), and not contain formulas. 

b. The author’s name
Full name without academic degrees and titles, written in capital letters. The manuscript written by the groups needs to be supplemented with complete contact details. 

c. Name of affiliation for each author
A complete affiliation address, postal code number, and email address should accompany the author(s) name.

d. Abstract
Written briefly in English in one paragraph of 100-200 words, containing background, research objectives, methodology, results, conclusion of the study, and your research contributions to science.

e. Keywords
Written in English, 3-5 words or groups of words, written alphabetically.

f. Introduction 
Explain the background, problems, and importance of research, provide a brief literature review that relates directly to research or previous findings that need to be developed, and end with a paragraph on research purposes. A balance must be kept between the pure and applied aspects of the subject. The introduction is presented in the form of paragraphs of approximately 1000 words.

g. Methods
Make sure that work can be repeated according to the details provided. It contains technical information of the study presented clearly. Therefore, readers can conduct research based on the techniques presented. Just so you know, materials and equipment specifications are necessary. Approaches or procedures of study, together with data analysis methods, must be presented.

h. Results and Discussion 
Results should be clear and concise. Well-prepared tables and figures must be this section's significant feature because they convey the major observations to readers. Any information provided in tables and figures should no longer be repeated in the text, but the text should focus on the importance of the study's principal findings. In general, journal papers will contain three to seven figures and tables. The same data can not be presented as tables and figures. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. The study results are discussed to address the problem formulated, objectives, and research hypotheses. It is highly suggested that the discussion focus on why and how the research findings can happen and the extent to which the findings can be applied to other relevant problems.

i. Conclusion 
The conclusion should be withdrawn based on research findings, formulated concerns, and research purposes. The conclusion is presented in one paragraph without a numerical form of expression. Explain your research contributions to science.

j. Acknowledgment 
Contributors not mentioned as authors should be acknowledged, and their particular contributions should be described. All funding sources for the work must be acknowledged; the research funder and the grant number (if applicable) should be given for each source of funds.

k. References
Manuscripts use standard citation applications (Mendeley/Endnote/Zotero). APA (American Psychological Association) reference style is required. Citing an article written by two authors, both authors should be mentioned; however, for three or more authors, only the first author is mentioned, followed by et al., for example, Tvaronaviciene & Cerneviciute (2015), Gunardi et al. (2016). A series of references should be presented in ascending date order (Gunawan, 2015; Joseph et al., 2016; Bilan et al., 2017). Different publications with the same author(s) and year will be presented separately: 2013a, 2013b. Unpublished data and personal communication references should not appear in the list but should be cited in the text only (e.g., Rifai MA 2015, pers. com. (personal communication); Indriyanti DR 2014, unpublished data). The references should be listed in alphabetical order in the reference list. We expect a minimum of 22 references, primarily with a minimum of 80% of references for literature reviews, which should be the recent (up-to-date) journals published in the last 10 years. Still, the rest of the 20% of references can be cited from research reports and or articles.
