Introduction (Giorgia, size 14 pt)

The introduction should be clearly structured and capable of articulating the central issue addressed in the manuscript.

Paragraph. This section delineates the research problem within the context of a global issue or a universal phenomenon relevant to a particular field of study. It is essential to underscore the urgency and scholarly significance of the issue by demonstrating its implications for the development of academic knowledge, public policy, or professional practice. In addition, the paragraph briefly situates the discussion within the current state of the art, indicating that the issue has attracted substantial attention in international academic discourse while still leaving unresolved conceptual or practical questions that warrant further investigation. The overall exposition should be framed in an analytical and argumentative manner, rather than a merely descriptive one, so that readers can immediately grasp the weight of the problem and the relevance of the study within the global scholarly debate. (1-2 Paragraph-Font Contantia, size 12 pt)

Paragraph. The following paragraph explicates the specific issue or case that constitutes the focus of the study. At this stage, the author describes the empirical phenomenon under investigation, clearly indicating the geographical setting of the research and presenting relevant quantitative data that illustrate the magnitude or characteristics of the case. After outlining the empirical context, the discussion advances toward a clear articulation of the research problem, examining the social symptoms and identifying the crucial impacts arising from the phenomenon. The research problem is constructed by capturing the gap between das sein and das sollen, drawing upon relevant dissertations or prior empirical studies published in academic journals. This problem formulation must be substantiated with both qualitative and quantitative evidence to ensure analytical rigor. (2-3 Paragraph-Font Contantia, size 12 pt)

Paragraph. This paragraph justifies why the issue under examination is important and timely to be studied. It aims to demonstrate the degree of urgency and the broader significance of the research by explaining why the problem demands scholarly attention and how addressing it contributes meaningfully to academic, social, or policy-oriented discussions. (1 Paragraph-Font Contantia, size 12 pt)

Paragraph. The author then reviews the most relevant prior studies and systematically identifies their principal limitations. This selective engagement with existing literature highlights the unresolved aspects, conceptual shortcomings, or empirical constraints that persist within previous research. On this basis, the paragraph clarifies how the present study seeks to address these limitations and delineates its scholarly contribution. The discussion culminates in a clear articulation of the study’s novelty, explaining whether the article introduces a new analytical framework, advances a distinct theoretical perspective, or applies an alternative methodological approach. All references to previous research must be properly cited to ensure academic credibility. (1 Paragraph-Font Contantia, size 12 pt)

Paragraph. This paragraph explicitly formulates the research questions or research objectives that the article seeks to address. These questions are presented concisely and coherently, ensuring alignment with the problems and gaps identified in the preceding discussion. (1 Paragraph-Font Contantia, size 12 pt)

Paragraph. The introduction is ideally concluded with a justificatory statement emphasizing that the research is grounded in an urgent need to respond to specific contemporary challenges. It may be stressed, for instance, that the article examines a constitutional or regulatory transformation with far-reaching implications for the implementation of governance, legal order, or state administration. This closing paragraph reinforces the broader relevance of the study and situates it firmly within ongoing international academic and policy debates. (1 Paragraph-Font Contantia, size 12 pt)

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)

Conclusion (Giorgia, size 14 pt)

The content of the conclusion is the formulation of answers to research objectives and research hypotheses rather than a summary of research results. The conclusion is made concisely, clearly and concisely based on the results and discussion, made in paragraph form (not numerical), contains research findings as a synthesis between the results of data analysis and discussion results, and emphasizes new things that contribute to the development of religious, social and cultural sciences. (Contantia, size 12 pt),

Suggestions Recommendations (if needed)

Contains academic recommendations, real follow-up, or policy implications for the conclusions obtained. The content of the suggestions must be in line with the discussion. (conclusions and suggestions are a maximum of 5% of the total number of journal manuscript pages). (Contantia, size 12 pt)
