Introduction (Giorgia, size 14 pt)
A more detailed description or component related to the content of the introduction writing, can be seen through the following writing order:
The author describes the issue/case in general, this general case is relevant to the article written (the author can review dissertations or references from various articles). In addition to the general case, the author can also explain the normative values related to the study of the article written. (1-2 paragraphs)
The author explains the specific issue/case in accordance with the issue under study. Present the argumentation of the problem studied (research problem) from the issue / phenomenon that occurred, telling the phenomenon or case under study, social facts and what is crucial from the facts under study, which are supported by qualitative and quantitative data, the problem in writing the article is obtained by photographing the gap between das sein and das sollen. (accompanied by references from various articles). (2-3 paragraphs)

Introduction is 4-6 paragraphs (Constantia, size 12pt)
Methods (Giorgia, size 14 pt).
In describing research methods, the author is not allowed to use sub-chapters, but must be clearly narrated with paragraphs (the number of paragraphs is adjusted to the needs). The description of the method must be implementative, in accordance with what the researcher does in the field. The content component of the research method explains whether the article is qualitative or quantitative; research approach; research subjects and locations (if the article is the result of field research); primary and secondary data sources; data collection techniques; data validity checks (if the article is the result of field research); data analysis techniques.
The explanation of methods, types of research, approaches used, data sources and data analysis techniques above, the content no longer explains what the definition is, the description of the method component above is not a description of the notions of research method experts. Instead, it explains how to implement the data acquisition:
- What is the purpose of using qualitative/quantitative methods? What method is used to analyze the problem?
- Where was the research conducted? Why did you conduct the research in that area? How long did you conduct the research?
- What approach is used? What is the reason for using this approach?
- What are the primary data sources in this research?
- What are the data collection techniques? Who is being interviewed, why is the person being interviewed; what is the purpose/use of the interview?
- How do you make observations? What is the observation process, why do you need to observe; what documents to look for, how to get them and why are they important). Academic honesty delivered: there were 2 informants but 1 could not be interviewed, refused to be interviewed and so on.
How the analysis is done (of course related to the theory used/written in the introduction). 2-3 paragraphs (Constantia, size 12pt)
Research Results (Giorgia, size 14 pt)
In the form of data from the field obtained from research, this is descriptive data. This is very necessary as a result of consideration between the research findings in the field and the theory related to the research discussion. The findings are presented as a summary of the data but carefully, not the detailed data, can use tables, graphs, then explained with narrative words. Why not in line, why in line, why the practice is like that, mention the source of the interview. Research findings/results consist of descriptive statistics, assumption test results, and hypothesis test results (if any and quantitative) or interview and observation data or other qualitative data (if qualitative) or literature review/critical review data, then critically analyzed, and presented sequentially or integrated. The presentation of the results section contains the results of data analysis.
The results of this study are flexible, meaning that in one sub-chapter the results of this study can contain several research results if there are indeed many things to be revealed. If there are tables/charts/pictures/photos, they contain exposure to the results of the analysis that is already meaningful and easy to understand its meaning quickly. Tables/charts/pictures/photos do not contain raw data that can or should still be processed.
Research data, it is recommended to make a table or chart. However, tables/charts are not just data and numbers, but after the table the author must explain the contents and intent of the table. Explain why the numbers from the data found show that. Compare the data the author found with data from previous researchers. (Contantia, size 12 pt)
Work with Graphic:
Figures and tables are the most effective way to present results. Captions should be able to stand alone, such that the figures and tables are understandable without the need to read the entire manuscript. Besides that, the data represented should be easy to interpret.
Tips:
- The graphic should be simple, but informative;
- The use of color is encouraged;
- The graphic should uphold the standards of a scholarly, professional publication;
- The graphic must be entirely original, unpublished artwork created by one of the co-authors;
- The graphic should not include a photograph, drawing, or caricature of any person, living or deceased;
- Do not include postage stamps or currency from any country, or trademarked items (company logos, images, and products), and;
- Avoid choosing a graphic that already appears within the text of the manuscript.
Discussion (Giorgia, size 14 pt)
Discussion or analysis, namely the author focuses directly on answering the formulation of the problem or research objectives written in the background of the problem (introduction), which is written systematically, analyzed using relevant theoretical studies that are strengthened by relevant previous research studies. The discussion here contains more details of problematic findings identified by the author related to the study being researched or written. In writing the discussion or analysis, it is preferred to use reference sources from scientific journals.
In the case of tables or photos, they are written in the middle or at the end of each text description of the research results/objectives. The discussion is written attached to the data discussed. The discussion of table contents is not separated from the data discussed. The title of the table is written centered, all words begin with uppercase letters, except conjunctions. If more than one line is written in single space. (Contantia, size 12 pt)
