Spacing: Affiliate address and author's name 1 space. The abstract is written in one space, and keywords must be written below the abstract, arranged alphabetically and separated by semicolons with a maximum of three to seven words. Apart from that, the title of articles written in Indonesian must also be written in English

The responsible author, corresponding author, or corresponding author should be listed first, followed by the second, third, and so on. Communication regarding article revisions and final statements will be communicated via email to the corresponding author only. If there is more than one author, the author's names must be written separately with a comma (,). If the author's name consists of at least two words, the first name cannot be abbreviated. If the author's name is only one word, it must be written as is. However, in the online version it will be written in two words with the same name repeatedly for metadata indexing purposes.
