Drafting Structure
Articles should be preceded by a title, followed by the author’s ID(s), abstract, keywords and the main body of the article. The main body of the article contains the introduction, method, result and discussion, conclusion and references. The introduction and discussion are not a must; the author can directly mention the title and subtitle of the discussion.
Title

Abstract

Avoid abbreviations; however, if crucial, they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract. Abstract is written in both English and Indonesian with approximately 150 – 200 words in length. Use line spacing 1 and give 1 cm before and after abstract paragraph.
Keywords
Keywords should contain the general terms and be plural. Acronym should be effectively used (legal abbreviations used in the field that meet the requirements). These keywords will be used for indexation.
Introduction
Introduction should contain background, review of relevant literatures to justify novelty, and objectives. References from previous researches must be current, relevant, and original (primary). However, literature reviews should not necessarily be too extensive.
Content of article is written with font KFGQPC Uthman Taha Naskh 16 pt., line spacing 1 (Arabic articles), and Times New Roman 12 pt., line spacing 1.5 (English articles). Each new paragraph should be indented about 1 cm from the left margin.
Footnotes are written with font KFGQPC Uthman Taha Naskh 14 pt., line spacing 1 (Arabic articles), and Times New Roman 10 pt., line spacing 1 (English articles). Each footnote should be indented about 1 cm from the left margin.
Method
Materials and methods 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.
Result and Discussion
This section should explore research result. Result are presented systematically in accordance with research objectives. It must be supported with data analysis and good illustrations. Each picture or table must be numbered and with brief description. When referring to images or tables, avoid using the words like "above" or "below". Format for writing tables can be seen from the following example:
Conclusion
Conclusion must answer main objectives of the study. It is written in one single paragraph and in the form of a narrative (avoid using bullets and numbering). Discussion is no longer needed in this section. Conclusion may be added with suggestions for further related studies. The suggestions are written in a separate paragraph after the conclusion.
References
Bibliography lists only the sources referenced in the article. It consists of at least 40% of the latest scientific journal articles (the last 10 years). The writing system, both in footnotes and in bibliography, should refer to the Turabian 8th edition. Arabic references must be transliterated into Indonesian by referring to the SKB of the Minister of Religious Affairs and the Minister of Education and Culture No. 158 of 1987.
Letters used in bibliography are Times New Roman 12 pt. Technically, each reference in bibliography is written without indent for the first line and with 1 cm indent for the next line(s). There must be line spacing 1 within one reference, and line spacing 2 between references. References in bibliography are alphabetically sorted.
