The Structure of Scientific Articles

Articles are written with systematics as follows:

  1. Title
  2. Ownership line (Name, Address Institution, E-mail);
  3. Abstract;
  4. Keywords;
  5. Introduction;
  6. Research Methods;
  7. Results/Findings and Discussion;
  8. Conclusion;
  9. Acknowledgements (optional);
  10. Appendices (optional); and

 

Title

  • The title must be simple, concise and informative and no more than 14 words;
  • The title should reflect a specific focus of study based on the main issue of the article so that the author can geta general statement and sub-title specifically confining the scope of study. In addition, the title should be precise;
  • The title should be in 14-pt bold Tahoma and be centered.

Abstract

  • An abstract looks like an advertisement of the article. The readers will continue reading all the article if they are interested in its abstract. Thus, the abstract should tell the prospective reader what the writer did and highlight the key findings. Avoid using uncommon abbreviations. The abstract must be accurate, brief, clear, precise, honest and specific. Use words which reflect the precise meaning. Please consider word limitations (150-200 words).
  • The abstract contains literature review, the main objectives of the study, the methods used, research findings, and conclusions. Abstract is written in English and/or Bahasa Indonesia and use 11-pt Tahoma font in single line spacing between lines.

Keywords

  • Keywords are the labels of your article and arehelpful for the indexing and searching. Therefore, the keywords should represent the content and highlight of the article. Use the 5 chosen keywords (words or phrases) which only focus on your article. Each word/phrase in keyword should be separated by a comma (,).

 

Introduction

  • The introduction should briefly provide information about the background, literature review, originality of the work or novelty, objective, the context of the research. The background should indicate a knowledge gap that requires answers or explanations. The literature review should provide an exposition of the theories relevant to the research and should both guide and support understanding and answers to the research question/s. In addition, explain the originality of the work. The objectives should be presented in a narrative using effective sentences. 

Research Methods

  • The method describes the steps in executing the research or study. Therefore, it is necessary to show in detail to the reader why the method used is reliable and valid in presenting research findings. The research methods section should be able to explain the research methods used, including how the procedures are implemented, an explanation of the tools, materials, media or instruments used, an explanation of the research design, population and sample (research targets), data collection techniques, instrument development, and technique of data analysis.
  • For qualitative research such as classroom action research, case studies, etc., it is necessary to add the presence of researchers, research subjects, informants who helped along with ways to explore research data, location and duration of research as well as a description of checking the validity of research results.

Results/Findings and Discussion

  • The main provisions in writing research or study findings are as follows: 1) present the research or study findings briefly, while still providing sufficient detail to support conclusions, 2) may use tables or pictures, but do not repeat the same information, by providing narration at the bottom of the table or picture so that the reader can understand the tables or pictures presented by the author, and 3) each research finding or study must be interpreted properly using standard spelling.
  • Data analysis processes such as statistical calculations or hypothesis testing processes need not be presented, only the results of the analysis and the results of hypothesis testing need to be reported. Tables or graphs can be used by the author to describe the results of research or studies found verbally, by providing narration or comments at the bottom of the tables or graphs by referring to previous research results contained in reputable scientific journals both internationally and nationally.
  • The discussion section aims to: (1) answer the problem formulation and research or study questions; (2) shows how the findings were obtained or found; (3) interpret the findings; (4) linking research findings or studies with established knowledge structures; and (5) bring up new theories or modifications to existing theories, by comparing the results of previous studies that have been published in reputable journals.
  • In answering the formulation of the problem or research questions, the results of the study must be concluded explicitly regarding previous research. Interpretation of research findings or studies can be done using empirical logic based on existing theories or previous research results in reputable journals both international and national, while findings in the form of reality in the field are integrated or linked to the results of previous studies or with existing theories

Conclusion

  • The conclusion consists of a summary of the article that presents a summary of the results of research that has been carried out and is the answer to the formulation of the problem. Conclusions must be aligned with the formulation of the problem and research objectives. If the conclusion is more than one, then it’s written using numbering numbers in paragraphs, not by using bullets, and the writer can also add the prospect of development of the results of the research or study as well as how to further implications will be the prospects of research or further research.
