2. Introduction, Research Method, Findings and Discussion, Conclusion


Introduction

Introduction contains background, rational, and / or urgency of research. Research theory (relevant literature or research), needs to be included in this section, its relationship with justification of research urgency, the emergence of research problems, alternative solutions, and solutions selected. How to write sources in the text need to clearly indicate the name of the author and source citation, in the form of the year of publication and the page where the manuscript is located.
An example is: ........ research results show that more than 70% of students have an interest in IT-based learning (Erwinsyah, 2015: 6).
Problems and objectives, as well as the usefulness of research written narrative in paragraphs, no special subtitles. Likewise the operational definition, if deemed necessary, is also written narrative.
Introduction written with TNR-12 upright, with a space of 1.15. Each paragraph begins with a word that protrudes into 7 digits, or about 1 cm from the left edge of each column.

Research Method

Method should make readers be able to reproduce the experiment. Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described. Do not repeat the details of established methods.

Findings and Discussion

Findings should be clear and concise. The results should summarize (scientific) findings rather than providing data in great detail. Please highlight differences between your results or findings and the previous publications by other researchers.
The discussion should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature. In discussion, it is the most important section of your article. Here you get the chance to sell your data. Make the discussion corresponding to the results, but do not reiterate the results. Often should begin with a brief summary of the main scientific findings (not experimental results). The following components should be covered in discussion: How do your results relate to the original question or objectives outlined in the Introduction section (what)? Do you provide interpretation scientifically for each of your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results consistent with what other investigators have reported (what else)? Or are there any differences

Conclusion

Conclusions should answer the objectives of research. Tells how your work advances the field from the present state of knowledge. Without clear Conclusions, reviewers and readers will find it difficult to judge the work, and whether or not it merits publication in the journal. Do not repeat the Abstract, or just list experimental results. Provide a clear scientific justification for your work, and indicate possible applications and extensions. You should also suggest future experiments and/or point out those that are underway.

3. Citations and references

Cite the main scientific publications on which your work is based. Cite only items that you have read. Do not inflate the manuscript with too many references. Avoid excessive self-citations. Avoid excessive citations of publications from the same region. Check each reference against the original source (authors' name, volume, issue, year, DOI Number).
Every source cited in the body of the article should appear in the reference, and all sources appearing in the reference should be cited in the body of the article.
The sources cited should at least 80% come from those published in the last 10 years. The sources cited are primary sources in the forms of journal articles, books, and research reports, including theses and dissertations. Citations from journal should be at least 80% of the total references cited. The minimum references should at least come from 30 sources.
Quotation and references follows Turabian 9th style and the latter should be included at the end of the article in the following examples:

Perkenalan

Pendahuluan berisi latar belakang, rasional, dan/atau urgensi penelitian. Teori penelitian (literatur atau penelitian yang relevan), perlu dimasukkan dalam bagian ini, hubungannya dengan justifikasi urgensi penelitian, munculnya masalah penelitian, alternatif solusi, dan solusi yang dipilih. Cara penulisan sumber dalam teks perlu dicantumkan dengan jelas nama penulis dan sumber kutipan, berupa tahun terbit dan halaman tempat naskah berada.
Contohnya adalah: ........ hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lebih dari 70% siswa memiliki minat terhadap pembelajaran berbasis IT (Erwinsyah, 2015: 6).
Masalah dan tujuan, serta kegunaan penelitian ditulis secara naratif dalam paragraf, tidak ada subjudul khusus. Demikian pula definisi operasionalnya, bila dipandang perlu, juga tertulis narasi.
Pendahuluan ditulis dengan TNR-12 tegak, dengan spasi 1,15. Setiap paragraf dimulai dengan kata yang menjorok ke dalam 7 digit, atau sekitar 1 cm dari tepi kiri setiap kolom.

Metode penelitian

Metode harus membuat pembaca dapat mereproduksi percobaan. Berikan detail yang cukup untuk memungkinkan pekerjaan direproduksi. Metode yang sudah diterbitkan harus ditunjukkan dengan referensi: hanya modifikasi yang relevan yang harus dijelaskan. Jangan ulangi detail metode yang sudah ada.

Temuan dan Pembahasan

Temuan harus jelas dan ringkas. Hasilnya harus merangkum temuan (ilmiah) daripada memberikan data dengan sangat rinci. Harap soroti perbedaan antara hasil atau temuan Anda dan publikasi sebelumnya oleh peneliti lain.
Diskusi harus mengeksplorasi signifikansi dari hasil pekerjaan, bukan mengulanginya. Bagian Hasil dan Pembahasan gabungan seringkali sesuai. Hindari kutipan ekstensif dan diskusi literatur yang diterbitkan. Dalam diskusi, ini adalah bagian terpenting dari artikel Anda. Di sini Anda mendapatkan kesempatan untuk menjual data Anda. Buat diskusi sesuai dengan hasil, tetapi jangan ulangi hasilnya. Seringkali harus dimulai dengan ringkasan singkat dari temuan ilmiah utama (bukan hasil eksperimen). Komponen berikut harus dicakup dalam diskusi: Bagaimana hasil Anda berhubungan dengan pertanyaan awal atau tujuan yang diuraikan di bagian Pendahuluan (apa)? Apakah Anda memberikan interpretasi secara ilmiah untuk setiap hasil atau temuan yang Anda sajikan (mengapa)? Apakah hasil Anda konsisten dengan apa yang telah dilaporkan oleh penyelidik lain (apa lagi)? Atau ada perbedaan

Kesimpulan

Kesimpulan harus menjawab tujuan penelitian. Menceritakan bagaimana pekerjaan Anda memajukan bidang ini dari kondisi pengetahuan saat ini. Tanpa Kesimpulan yang jelas, reviewer dan pembaca akan kesulitan untuk menilai karya tersebut, dan layak atau tidaknya karya tersebut dipublikasikan di jurnal. Jangan mengulang Abstrak, atau hanya mencantumkan hasil percobaan. Berikan pembenaran ilmiah yang jelas untuk pekerjaan Anda, dan tunjukkan kemungkinan aplikasi dan ekstensi. Anda juga harus menyarankan eksperimen di masa mendatang dan/atau menunjukkan eksperimen yang sedang berlangsung.

3. Kutipan dan referensi

Kutip publikasi ilmiah utama yang menjadi dasar pekerjaan Anda. Kutip hanya item yang telah Anda baca. Jangan mengembang manuskrip dengan terlalu banyak referensi.

Sumber yang dikutip sekurang-kurangnya 80% berasal dari yang diterbitkan dalam 10 tahun terakhir. Sumber yang dikutip adalah sumber primer berupa artikel jurnal, buku, dan laporan penelitian, termasuk tesis dan disertasi. Kutipan dari jurnal harus setidaknya 80% dari total referensi yang dikutip. Referensi minimal harus berasal dari 30 sumber.
Kutipan dan referensi mengikuti gaya 9 Turabian dan yang terakhir harus disertakan
