Structure of the Article

The structure of the article consists of the following:

THE TITLE OF THE MANUSCRIPT

The title should be informative, written both briefly and clearly, and appropriate to the issue to be discussed in the manuscript. The article title does not contain any uncommon abbreviation. The article title should be written at most 20 words, in Calibri Light font size 14pt, bold, and center. An abstract should be a summary of significant items of the main paper.

ABSTRACT

Abstract, which comprised of approximately 200 words, Type the abstract here (9pt). provides a brief description of problems, aims, the method used, and results. It emphasizes research results in which written in single line spacing with left and right margin are 0.5 cm narrower than the main text. 3 to 5 keywords must be written to describe the research scope observed, as well as the main terms undergirding the research. These keywords can be single and/or combined words

Authors should avoid the use of personal pronouns within the structured abstract and body of the paper (e.g., "this paper investigates..." is correct, and "I investigate..." is incorrect). Add Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) classification under the keywords; see the JEL Code Guide.

INTRODUCTION

This section could also provide the expected results. The introduction must be written in single line spacing. The introduction comprises of:

Analysis of the general situation and followed by a description of the main problems of the target community. Summary of literature review: theoretical studies, results of the present study, and report/article on the publication of previous community service activities, which shows that the problem is indeed "strong" (state of the art). Do not describe the literature review as author by author but should be presented as a group per method or topic reviewed, which refers to some kinds of literature)
The problem solves planning (Describe the novelty of the technology / approach used to solve the problem).
Affirmation sentence about the purpose of community service.
Affirmation about the purpose of writing the article.
Affirmation of article contribution for the development of science and technology.
The introduction section must be written in Calibri Light, font size 10, 0 pt before spacing, and 0 pt after spacing.

METHOD (bold, 11pt)

This section must contain:

The description of the target community (description of the "background" of the community, how many people are, and how is the role/involvement of community in this community service activity).
The parties involved in this service activity (including the number and role or contribution of each, not explaining the name but background/expertise).
Implementation method that explains the stages or steps in implementing the solution offered to resolve the problem.
Overview of science and technology transferred/introduced.
Instruments or tools and materials used in community service activity (including to measure the success of service activities).
Data collection techniques
Measures / indicators of success of community service activities, and
Data analysis techniques.

The method section must be written in Calibri Light, font size 10, 0 pt before spacing, and 0 pt after spacing.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION (bold, 11pt)

Guidelines for writing results and discussion:

Results must be relevant to the objectives and methods.
The results explanation of the activities must be simple and straightforward.
Write data in the form of figures or tables (highly recommended, especially those relating to indicators of success of activities).
Describe clearly the data and various results of the resolution of relevant problems.
Discussion of activities: comparing with theory and similar community service activities that have been published or reported.
Figures or tables must be related to explanatory text (narration in paragraphs).
Don't put figures/illustrations that are not discussed in the text
Describe the obstacles that might be encountered in the community service activities (the obstacles must be logical, not solely because of the weak implementation of the activity, completely beyond the control of the team, and existing references support these constraints).

The results and discussion section must be written in Calibri Light, font size 10, 0 pt before spacing, and 0 pt after spacing.

Figures and Tables

Place the labels above for tables and below for figures. Write the table label in specific, for example Table 1, in case the author refers the Table 1 mentioned. The example of writing table and figure information is as below.

DUTIES FOR AUTHORS

Reporting standards

Authors of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed and an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Review articles should be accurate, objective, and comprehensive, while editorial 'opinion' or perspective pieces should be identified as such. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.

Originality and Plagiarism

The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works and that if they have used the work and words of others, this has been appropriately cited or quoted. Plagiarism takes many forms, from 'passing off' another's paper as the author's paper, to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another's paper (without attribution), to claiming results from research conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. We will check each manuscript using a similarity checker to ensure the originality of the article. Furthermore, each submitted article should be accompanied by a letter of statement from the author(s) stating that the article is free from plagiarism.

Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication

An author should only generally publish manuscripts describing the same research in one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals concurrently constitutes unacceptable publishing behavior.

Acknowledgment of Sources

Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have influenced the nature of the reported work. Information obtained privately (from the conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties) must not be used or reported without explicit written permission from the source. Authors should not use information obtained while providing confidential services, such as refereeing manuscripts or grant applications, unless they have obtained the explicit written permission of the author(s) of the work involved in these services.

Authorship of the Paper

Authorship should be limited to those who have contributed significantly to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where others have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors.

The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included in the paper and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or another substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.

Fundamental errors in published works

When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, the author should promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper. Suppose the editor or the publisher learns from a third party that a published work contains a significant error. In that case, the author should promptly retract or correct the paper or provide evidence to the editor of the correctness of the original paper.
