Author Guidelines

Manuscripts must be written in Indonesian or English. Manuscripts will be reviewed by the Editorial Board. The main text of the manuscript must be submitted as a Word document (.doc) or Rich Text Format (.rtf). Manuscripts are not limited in word count, but should not reduce the substance of the article components (see journal template). They must be typed neatly on a single column of A4 paper using a single-column format with margins: last custom setting (top 2.5 cm; left 2.75 cm; bottom 2.5 cm; right 2.5 cm), using 12-point Georgia font with 1.15 line spacing. Manuscripts containing original work from community service research have the potential to contribute to scientific progress and the advancement of human civilization.

Authors must submit a single manuscript, complete with the author's name, affiliation, department, address, and email address, as well as the corresponding author's name if more than one author is present. If there are other files from the main article manuscript or supporting data, authors may also submit them as supporting files. Furthermore, the manuscript must contain the following sections in this order:

Title: The title of the article in Indonesian should describe the main content of the manuscript, be informative, concise, and concise (only 12-15 words), and should not contain formulas. The title should describe the content of the community service research.

Author's name: Full name without academic title or title, written in capital letters only. Manuscripts written by a group should include complete contact details (co-author and corresponding author). Affiliation name for each author. The author's name must be accompanied by a complete affiliation address, postal code, and email address.

Include a brief author biography of approximately 100 words.

Abstract: This should explain the paper's purpose and its intended audience. It should be written concisely in Indonesian and English in one paragraph of 100-150 words, containing the research objectives, methodology, results, and conclusions.

Keywords: This should be written in Indonesian, with 3-5 words or groups of words, arranged alphabetically. Ensure the keywords include research variables or subjects to facilitate the dissemination of your article.

Introduction: This should explain the background, explaining why community service activities are urgent, especially for practical purposes. This should be accompanied by a brief literature review directly related to the research or previous findings that need to be developed. It should conclude with a paragraph about the problem and the purpose of the community service.

Methods: This should clearly describe the approach with appropriate methods, including the Instruments, Data Collection, and Data Analysis.

Results and Discussion: With a quantitative approach, well-designed tables and/or figures should be an important feature of this section, as they convey key observations to the reader. Any information presented in tables and figures should not be repeated in the text; instead, the text should focus on the importance of the research's main findings. Journal papers generally contain three to seven figures and tables. The same data cannot be presented in tables and figures. A qualitative approach requires presenting findings based on field observations (field notes), interviews, and/or documentation. Furthermore, the research results are discussed to answer the research problem formulation, objectives, and hypotheses, and/or findings. It is strongly recommended that the discussion focus on why and how the research findings occurred and how the research findings can be extended to other relevant problems.

Limitations: Briefly explain the limitations of the research findings.
