The responsible writer, correspondence writer, or the corresponding author must be written first, followed by the second, third, and so on. Communication regarding the revision of articles and final statements will be emailed to the corresponding author only. If there is more than one author, the author's name must be written separately by commas (,). The first name cannot be abbreviated if the author's name consists of at least two words. If the author's name is only one word, it must be written as-is. However, the online version will be repeatedly written in two words with the same name for indexing metadata. (Times New Roman 12, space 1).
3) Abstract: The abstract consists of 150-350 words, written in one paragraph; the Abstract contains a brief description of the problems and objectives of Community Service, the methods used, and the results of Community Service. The emphasis of abstract writing is mainly on the results of Community Service. Abstract written in Indonesian and English. Abstract typing is done with a single space with narrower margins than the main text's right and left margins. Keywords need to be included to describe the main points of Community Service activities and the basic terms that underlie the implementation of Community Service. Keywords can be single words or compound words. The number of keywords is 3-5 words. Keywords are written in alphabetical order from left to right. (Times New Roman 11, space 1).
4) Manuscript content contains the following sections:
- Introduction (The introductory section mainly contains: (1) problems that underlie Community Service activities, (2) insights and problem-solving plans, (3) formulation of Community Service objectives, (4) a summary of theoretical studies relating to problems to be solved or overcome through Community Service activities In this section sometimes also contains expectations for the results and benefits of Community Service, the length of the introduction is about 1-2 pages and typed with one space.
- Community Service Methods: This section explains how Community Service is carried out. The primary material of this section is (1) a Community Service plan, (2) a Targeted Community Service Community) and (3) Methods and instruments of Community Service. For Community Service, which uses tools and materials, it is necessary to write the specifications of the tools and materials. Tool specifications describe the tools' sophistication, while the material specifications describe the types of materials used. It is best to avoid organizing writing into "sub-title children" in this section.
- Results and Discussion: This section is the central part of the Community Service results and is typically the most extended portion of the article. The Community Service outcomes presented here should be comprehensive and articulated, reflecting the measurable results of the activities, such as improvements in knowledge, abilities, skills, and other relevant competencies or capacities. The results obtained are also related to the projected changes, for example, there will be an increase in the income of people who have participated in Community Service activities and so on.
- The discussion in the article aims to: (1) answer the problem formulation; (2) show the findings obtained based on the Community Service activities that have been carried out; (3) interpret or interpret the results obtained; (4) link the results of Community Service with ideal or expected conditions; and (5) modification of Community Service activities by needs. In answering the formulation of the problem of Community Service, it must be followed by conclusions explicitly. The results are interpreted using logic and ideal/normative references. The conditions in the field are related to previous community service outcomes or expected ideal conditions. In an article, sometimes organizing the writing of the results of Community Service in the "subtitle children" cannot be avoided. The following is how to write the organizing format, which shows how to write extraordinary things that cannot be separated from an article.
- Place the table label above the table and the image label at the bottom of the image. When referring to a table, write down specific tables, for example, Table 1.
- Write the reference citation using a running note (body note) in brackets (Author Name Year of publication: p.).
- Closing, containing Conclusions and Recommendations, the Conclusions present a summary of the description of the results and discussion, referring to the purpose of Community Service. Based on these two points, new ideas are developed, which are the essence of the findings of Community Service.
- Suggestion. Suggestions are based on the findings of Community Service discussed. Suggestions can refer to practical actions, developing new theories, and/or continued Community Service.
- Acknowledgements: If you need to thank certain parties, such as Community Service sponsors, state clearly and concisely; avoid flowering expressions of thanks.
- Bibliography (References): contains all Bibliography, a list of papers read by the author in preparing the article and then used as a reference. In scientific articles, Bibliography must exist as a complement to references and reference sources. The Bibliography is arranged alphabetically without serial numbers. Abbreviations of magazines/journals are based on the procedures used by each journal, and the type is 1 (one) space. The following is an example of writing a bibliography in a row for Textbooks and Journals. Bibliography writing follows the rules in the Turabian Style, with examples of Family Name, Year, Title¸ City of Publisher: Publisher (Hans, J.D., 2018. Creating a Formal Publication. Boston: Proseware).
Reference
For high-quality articles for publication, the Editor advises authors to use primary references (journal articles) rather than other references in the Bibliography. Authors are asked to use the most recent references published within the last 5 to 10 years. This journal does not use footnotes in the body of the manuscript; all sources follow the rules for writing citations and Bibliographies.
Writing references using the Turabian style (author-date style). Using a reference manager such as Mendeley or Zotero is highly recommended. If the citations and Bibliography are compiled manually, the references are written in a way like the following example:
Book:
