Introduction
The introduction outlines the background of the problem that leads to the focus of the issue presented by the author, and must place the research in the context of academic debate (with previous research), elaborating on theories, concepts, paradigms, perspectives, or trends in the field. Then, the author must present the research question/focus of the problem in the article. Emphasize the gap between similar research and present the state-of-the-art so that the article has novelty.

Primary and secondary data used along with their collection or processing/analysis techniques must be described here (not containing a collection of definitions).
Discussion
In this section, the author discusses the research results further, either as a theoretical and/or methodological debate that is reflective, or field findings explained with clear, concise, scientific, and factual language. If the discussion consists of several sub-themes or parts, the author is advised to divide the discussion according to these sub-themes or parts by providing subheadings (each discussing one issue to be answered) in italics and bold without numbering. Results and discussion can be presented with a title that corresponds to the problem topic. The presentation of research results is accompanied by tables, graphs, photos, tables, or other forms. Subtitles that describe the results of the research are written by following some principles as follows.
1. Written in chronological and systematic that described from beginning to end.
