Abstract

The abstract should be informative and self-explanatory, briefly present the topic, state the scope of the experiments, indicate significant data, and point out major findings and conclusions. The abstract should be 120 to 250 words in length. Complete sentences should be used when writing the abstract. The methods used, and the results obtained presented in the abstract should be written in the past tense. Standard nomenclature should be used, and abbreviations should be avoided. While the abstract is conceptually divided into four sections (introduction/background, materials and methods, results/principal findings, and conclusions/significance), do not apply these distinct headings to the abstract within the article file. No literature should be cited. Following the abstract, five keywords that will provide indexing references should be listed.

Introduction

**Special description of the title. (dispensable)

The Introduction should provide a clear statement of the problem, the relevant literature on the subject, and the proposed approach or solution. It should be understandable to colleagues from a broad range of scientific disciplines.

 

Literature Review

The Literature Review section in a scientific article aims to review relevant theories, concepts, and previous research related to the topic being discussed. Here, the author presents an understanding of the development of theories and methods used in previous studies, as well as the results that have been found. Additionally, this section identifies gaps or weaknesses in previous research, whether in terms of methodology, research subjects, or conclusions. The literature review also highlights how the current study can address these gaps and contribute new insights. In conclusion, the literature review provides a strong theoretical foundation and justifies the importance of the research being conducted.

 

Method of Study

Describing the method used to solve problems, challenges or problems, answer the research objectives. This should consist of data collection techniques (including sample selection techniques, validity, and reliability of data collection tools), data analysis technique, location, time and duration of activities. In this section, Authors are  required to justify the condition/situation before the programs/activities are implemented and the expected result. Abbreviation should be explained at the first appearance and should be consistently used until the end part of the article. Please cite the previous method publication, if you refer to the published article, and explain the detail, if you modify the method. Example of cited sentence (Dillard, 2020). Or Based on Mamur et al. (2014) the cited sentence is…...

 

Results and Discussion

This section contains the results obtained from the study, which can be systematically presented from the general results to more specific ones. This section is crucial to address the research questions based on the theoretical basis elaborated in the above section. Thus, it is essential to structure the result clearly and logically to reveal the study's key findings and highlight how it can fill the knowledge gap outlined in the earlier section. The result and discussion of your manuscript should demonstrate the novelty of your research findings. It should be able to point out its relation with the discourse of community engagement. The minimum explanation in this chapter ranges from 40% to 50% of your manuscript.

 

Conclusion

This section defines the study's novelty and the research's fruitfulness, as well as how the study advances from the current state of the knowledge. It should highlight the impact of the study on society or community and its theoretical contribution to the discourse of community engagement. It should be a justification of the result and not just a listing of results concerning the objectives of the article. Further research of the study can be suggested in this section.

 

Acknowledgements

A separate thank you at the end of the article before the reference, not on the title page and not as a footnote to the title or vice versa. Acknowledgment list consists of people who provided assistance during community empowerment activities. Declaration of Conflict of Interest must be clearly written when you (or your company or sponsor) have a financial, commercial, legal, or professional relationship with another organization, or with people who work with them, which can affect your research. When funding comes from grants available from universities, colleges, or other research institutions, write down the name of the institution or organization that provided the funds. If there are no funders from a university, college, or other research institution, please include the following sentence: This study did not receive specific grants from funding agencies in the public sector, commercial, or non-profit section.

 

References

Follow the author-date method of in-text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, e.g., (Giambastiani, 2007), and a complete reference should appear in the reference list at the end of the paper.

Each source you cite in the paper must appear in your reference list; likewise, each entry in the reference list must be cited in your text. All text should be double-spaced just like the rest of your essay.

Basic Rules

• All lines after the first line of each entry in your reference list should be indented 0.3 cm from the left margin. This is called hanging indentation.
• Authors’ names are inverted (last name first); give the last name and initials for all authors of a particular work for up to and including seven authors. If the work has more than seven authors, list the first six authors and then use “et al.” after the sixth author’s name. 
• Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last name of the first author of each work.
• If you have more than one article by the same author, single-author references or multiple-author references with the exact same authors in the exact same order are listed in order by the year of publication, starting with the earliest.
• Capitalize all major words in journal titles.
• Do not italicize, underline, or put quotes around the titles of works such as journal articles or essays in edited collections.

For example, the 1st reference (Bonoti & Metallidou, 2010) is for a journal paper, (Klatzky, 1998; Cui & Cui, 2004) are for conference proceedings, (Fisher, Aron, & Brown, 2006) is for transactions, (Helfer, Keme, & Drugman, 1997) is for a book, (Giambastiani, 2007) is for a thesis, (Marcinkowski & Rehring, 1995) is for a report, (Singh et al., 2017) is respectively for chapter and article in edited books, (Grudin, 1990) is for an article in proceedings, (American Psychological Association, n.d.) is for an article from internet, (Wright & Wright, 1906) is for a patent.

Please completely normalize your references as the following format. Please retrieve Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for journal articles, books, and chapters by simply cutting and pasting the reference list at https://doi.crossref.org/simpleTextQuery. Preserve hyperlinks and underlines in DOIs.

Figures and Tables

Positioning Figures and Tables: Figures/tables should be placed in the same position as it is referenced in the main text. Oversized figures/tables may be arranged at the top or bottom of the page. Figure captions should be below the figures; table heads should appear above the tables. Insert figures and tables after they are cited in the text. Use “Figure 1”and “Table 1” in bold fonts, even at the beginning of a sentence.

 

Table 1. Table type styles (Table caption is indispensable).

Table Head	Table Column Head
	Table column subhead	Subhead	Subhead
copy	More table copya

1. Sample of a Table footnote (Table footnote is dispensable).

 

Figure 1. Example of a figure caption (figure caption).

 

Figure Labels: Use 8 point Times New Roman for Figure labels. Use words rather than symbols or abbreviations when writing Figure axis labels to avoid confusing the reader. As an example, write the quantity “Magnetization”, or “Magnetization, M”, not just “M”. If including units in the label, present them within parentheses. Do not label axes only with units. In the example, write “Magnetization (A/m)” or “Magnetization (A·m–1)”, not just “A/m”. Do not label axes with a ratio of quantities and units. For example, write “Temperature (K)”, not “Temperature/K”.
