Author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s)
A list of all authors, as well as corresponding addresses, and e-mail address should be provided. Each address should be preceded by a numerical superscript corresponding to the same superscript after the name of the author concerned. Addresses should contain all information necessary for an effective mail delivery. E-mail should also be provided to speed up communication between readers and authors. This information will be published unless authors request otherwise.
Abstract
An abstract should accompany each manuscript; it should be completely self-consistent (i.e., with no figure, table, equation or reference citations), not exceeding 250 words and written as a single paragraph.
Keywords : Written in English 3-5 words or groups of words, written alphabetically.

Whichever spelling you choose (British or American English) please be consistent throughout. Use hyphens consistently and avoid unnecessary ones. The words “section(s)”, “equation(s)”, “figure(s)” and “reference(s)” are abbreviated as “sect(s).”, “fig(s).”, “eq(s).” and “ref(s).” unless they are the first word of a sentence. The word “table” is always written in full.Latin expressions, such as, e.g., i.e., et al., versus (vs.) should be set in italic. All terms or titles in Arabic should be transliterated with following the Library of Congress guide. Name of person should not be transliterated.

approximately 1000 words.
Conclusion
Conclusion should be withdrawn on the basis of research ndings, formulated concerns and

Acknowledgement
Contributors who are not mentioned as authors should be acknowledged, and their
particular contribution should be described. All sources of funding for the work must be
acknowledged, both the research funder and the grant number (if applicable) should be
given for each source of funds
Reference
Manuscripts are written by using standard citation application (Mendeley/Endnote/Zotero).
APA (American Psychological Association) reference style is required. Citing an article
written by two authors, both of authors should be mentioned, however, for three and more
authors only the rst author is mentioned followed by et al., for example: Rahayu &
Sudarsono (2015), Subekti et al. (2014). A series of references should be presented in
ascending date order (Retnoningsih et al., 2005; Indriyanti et al., 2007; Rahayuningsih, 2010).
Different publications with the same author(s) and year will be presented separately, as
follows 2013a, 2013b. References of unpublished data and personal communication 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). In the reference list, the
references should be listed in an alphabetical order. More or less 80% references for
literature reviews should be the recent (up to date) journals published in the last 10 years,
but the rest of 20 % references can be cited from research reports and or articles.
Other
Footnotes
Footnotes to text material, which should be kept to a minimum, and which should be indicated by numerical superscripts: 1, 2, 3, etc. They should be placed at the foot of the relevant page.
The proof correction stage
Once proofs are ready, an e-mail will inform the authors and attache it in pdf format. Authors are asked to carefully check the proofs. They should keep in mind that the aim of proofreading is to correct errors that may have occurred during the production. Therefore they should particularly check completeness of text, equation breaks, figures, tables and references.
Only essential corrections are accepted.
The author has the final responsibility for the corrections. Corrections should be returned within 48 hours and can be sent back either as a detailed list by e-mail (quoting the amendments location with page, columns and line number). Please do not alter the PDF proof file, add annotations or send back an amended manuscript file. As soon as the proofs are returned, the paper will be corrected and posted for the on-line publication.
