Web references can be listed by writing the author's name, year, title, URL address, and date of access References are published at least less than the last 10 years Overall references can come from primary sources (Thesis, Thesis, and Dissertation) or research articles in scientific journals and/or magazines if possible articles from our journals can be used as the reference i. the number of references from the Theses and Dissertations should be no more than three (3) references if it is possible. List of reference drawn up as a way of writing the reference. for an article from the journal name used commonly used for the journal.
