B. The Guidelines for the Manuscript 

  1. Title, Title of the article the 15 words, gives an overview of research that has been done (short, clear, and informative). The article title does not contain any uncommon abbreviations. The main ideas should be written first and followed by their explanations.
  2. The author's name, complete without a title written and typed below the article title. If the author of more than one person, then added the next row.
  3. Originally institutions /agencies, written in the name of the institution where working (Study Program, Faculty, University). For example Department of Informatics, Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training, IAIN Syekh Nurjati Cirebon, Indonesia.
  4. Email address, write the email address that is still active and is written under the origin of institutions/agencies.
  5. Abstract, written in English. The abstract contains a brief description of the problem (optional), research objectives, methods used, the results of the research, and conclusions (indicate the main conclusions). Abstract writing pressure primarily on the research results. Typing abstract done with a single space with a narrower margin of right and left margins of the main text with approximately 200 words.
  6. Keywords, Number 3-5 word keywords.
  7. Systematics of writing the article The results of the research are introduction; research method; results and discussion; conclusions; bibliography.
  8. Introduction consists of the urgency of the research, supporting facts from previous studies, gap analysis, the novelty of the research, and research objectives. Written in one chapter without a subtitle.
  9. Methods contains an explanation of the research approach, subjects of the study, the conduct of the research procedure, the use of materials and instruments, data collection, and analysis techniques. It should be described in detail and operationally into 5-6 paragraphs.
  10. Results presented are important data obtained from the results of data collection in the field (test results, questionnaires, interviews, documents, etc.). The results of the research can be supplemented with tables, images, or graphs to clarify the results of the research. Avoid presenting similar data in separate tables. All tables, images, and graphs must be centered and numbered sequentially. For qualitative research, the results section contains detailed sections in the form of sub-topics that are directly related to the focus of research and categories.                                           
  11. Discussion. Authors should discuss the results and how they can be interpreted from the perspective of previous studies and of the working hypotheses. The findings and their implications should be discussed in the broadest context possible. Future research directions may also be highlighted. The discussion should cover the following components: How do your results relate to the original question or objectives outlined in the Introduction section (what/how)? Do you provide an interpretation scientifically for each of your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results consistent with what other investigators have reported (what else)? Or are there any differences?
    The discussion aims to (1) answer the problem formulation and research questions; (2) show how the findings were obtained; (3) interpret findings; (4) link research findings with established knowledge structures; and (5) raise new theories or modify existing theories. This section of the discussion must contain the benefits of the results of the study, not the repetition. The analysis must answer the stated gaps.
  12. Conclusions presented briefly, narrative, and conceptual that describe the research findings and their effects. Avoid using numbering and symbols (bullet and numbering).
C. The Guidelines for Citation and References
  1. All the served data or quotes in the article taken from the other author articles should attach the reference sources.
  2. Writing citations and bibliography should use application management references such as Mendeley, End Note, Zotero or applications in Ms Word.
  3. Writing citations and bibliography using IEEE format by using innate writing technique.
  4. All references used must be taken from the main source (national and international reputable scientific journals indexed by SCOPUS, Web of Science, and SINTA) and at least 80% of the reference amount used.
  5. A number of references at least 15 references.
  6. References used should be published in the last 5 years.
  7. Wikipedia, personal blogs, and nonscientific websites are not allowed to be used as references.
