8. Introduction includes a description of the background to the problem, the scope of the research, and literature review related to the research topic, as well as the formulation of hypotheses (if any). A maximum of 20% of the total pages.
9. The method includes a detailed description of the materials used, the method chosen, the technique, and the scope of the study. Maximum description is 15% of the total page.
10. Results and discussion is an objective description of the research results and discussion. Description of results and discussion of a minimum of 40% of the total page.
11. Conclusion is written as concised as possible and should contains research findings which are answers to the formulation of research problems. The conclusions should be written briefly, concisely and clearly.
12. Reference List is written in accordance with the IEEE Style (Reference manager such as Mendeley, Endnote, etc are recommended).
Each reference number should be enclosed in square brackets on the same line as the text, before any punctuation, with a space before the bracket.
Examples
“. . .end of the line for my research [13].”“The theory was first put forward in 1987 [1].”
“Scholtz [2] has argued. . . .”
“For example, see [7].”
“Several recent studies [3, 4, 15, 22] have suggested that. . . .”Note: Authors and dates do not have to be written out after the first reference; use the bracketed number. Also, it is not necessary to write “in reference [2].” Just write “in [2].”
The preferred method to cite more than one source at a time is to list each reference in its own brackets, then separate with a comma or dash:
[1], [3], [5] [1] – [5]
the following example should be refered:
