ARTICLE STRUCTURE
Abstract
A concise and factual 150-200 words abstract is required. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results, the method and major conclusions.

Non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself. The Abstract is written in Indonesian and English.

Keywords
Authors should provide 3 to 5 keywords, separated by comma (,). These should be placed beneath the abstract. The keywords should be written in Indonesian and English.
