Authors' names should be written below the title and before the abstract, without academic or professional titles. The authors' institutional affiliations and corresponding email addresses should also be provided. The author information should use 11-point bold font.
The manuscript should be organized according to the following structure:

Abstract and Keywords

The abstract must be written in both Indonesian and English, with each version consisting of 150–200 words. The abstract should be written in italic Times New Roman, 11-point font, with single spacing.

The abstract should be concise, clear, coherent, and systematic. It should describe what and why the research was conducted, how the research was conducted, and the main results obtained from the study.

Introduction

The Introduction should be written in Times New Roman, 11-point font. It should describe the background of the research problem, research objectives, research limitations, methods used, previously obtained research results, and the contribution of the present study.

The Introduction should also include a literature review containing a systematic discussion of previous research findings that are relevant to the study. This section should identify the strengths and weaknesses of previous studies, which can serve as an argument that the present research improves upon, extends, or develops previous research.

This section should also provide the theoretical foundation, consisting of a summary of theories obtained from relevant literature that supports the research. It should explain the concepts and fundamental principles required to solve the research problem. The theoretical foundation may be presented as a qualitative description, mathematical model, or tool directly related to the research problem.

References cited in this section must be included both in the relevant sentences/statements and in the References section, for example, [1].

Table titles should be written in Times New Roman, 11-point font, and placed above the table, without a period at the end. Tables should not be split across pages unless it is impossible to fit the table on a single page. If a table continues onto the following page, the table number should be retained and followed by the word "Continued", without repeating the title.

Charts, graphs, maps, photographs, and other visual materials are collectively referred to as figures. Figure captions should be written in Times New Roman, 11-point font and placed directly below the figure, without a period at the end. Figure descriptions should be placed in the available space on the same page. Scales and units in graphs must be presented as clearly as possible.

Every table and figure must be explicitly referred to in the manuscript.

Research Method

This section should provide a complete and detailed explanation of the steps undertaken in the research. The research procedures should also be presented in the form of a research flowchart or comprehensive research framework.

The research methodology should clearly reflect the algorithms, rules, models, designs, and other aspects related to the system design and research implementation.

Results and Discussion

The Results and Discussion section should present all scientific findings obtained from the research as research data. This section should provide a logical and scientific explanation of the reasons underlying the obtained results. The results should be described clearly, completely, systematically, comprehensively, and coherently.

Authors should present the scientific information obtained from the research systematically and support it with rational arguments, particularly information relevant to the research problem.

The discussion of research findings may be presented in theoretical form, either qualitatively or quantitatively. Where appropriate, the results obtained in the present study may be compared with findings reported in previous studies cited in the manuscript.

Scientifically, research findings may represent new discoveries, improvements, confirmations, or refutations of previous interpretations of a scientific phenomenon.

To improve clarity, research results should be presented carefully and in an easy-to-understand format, such as tables, curves, graphs, figures, photographs, or other appropriate forms. The presentation should be sufficiently complete and clear so that readers do not need to search elsewhere in the discussion for information necessary to understand the results.

The final part of this section should describe the strengths and limitations of the proposed system or research, in sufficient detail.

Conclusion

The Conclusion should provide a brief, clear, and precise statement of the main findings. It should address the strengths and limitations of the research, present verifiable findings, and directly relate to the research objectives.

The statements presented in this section must be based on findings that have already been analyzed or discussed in the preceding sections. The Conclusion should not introduce new information that has not previously been discussed.

The Conclusion should directly answer the research problems or research questions formulated in the study. No further explanation or elaboration is necessary in this section.

Recommendations

The Recommendations section should present suggestions or proposed directions that are relevant to similar or future research.

Recommendations should be based on identified weaknesses, research experiences, difficulties encountered, errors, new findings that have not yet been investigated, and potential directions for future research.

References

The References section should contain only sources that are actually cited in the manuscript. References should be written in Times New Roman, 11-point font, and arranged as follows:

References must be listed according to the order in which they first appear in the manuscript.
Each reference should be written using single spacing. The spacing between individual references should be two spaces.
