Author Guidelines

Title
Written in a maximum of 14 words

Introduction
In these guidelines for writing scientific articles, all users are required to adhere to the established provisions. The editor will not make substantive and/or formatting edits, except in certain specific circumstances as necessary. Paper Type and Size: HVS A4 (210 x 297 mm), Margins/edges: Top 30 mm, Bottom 30 mm, Left 40 mm, Right 30 mm. File format: rtf, doc, docx (PDF format is not allowed). Article manuscripts must be written in Bahasa Indonesia or English, using Times New Roman font, size 11pt, with single spacing (1.0 spacing). Manuscript Length: 6-11 pages. Paragraphs should be justified, with an initial paragraph indentation of 1cm.

Method
For quantitative research, the manuscript should include detailed information on the research design, population, sample, data sources, instruments used, and the data analysis procedures employed. For qualitative research, it is essential to provide information on the research design, research instruments, methods of data collection, and the procedures used for data analysis. This section should constitute no more than 0.5 pages of the total manuscript length. Abbreviations should be avoided, except for well-established acronyms. When using acronyms, ensure that they are formatted correctly, with spaces before and after (e.g., ABC).

Results and Discussion
This section should clearly present the outcomes of the research, including both quantitative and/or qualitative findings that are relevant to the objectives of the study. Authors are encouraged to use tables, charts, or figures to enhance the clarity and impact of their data presentation. These visuals must be well-organized, easy to understand, and should not include raw or unprocessed data. All tables and figures must be adjusted to fit a single-column layout or span the full width of the page to ensure proper visibility.

Use spaces before and after 6pt. Present data in the form of tables, graphs, and images, with a maximum of 5-7 figures. For qualitative research with a semiotic approach, a maximum of 10 images is allowed. Include a sequence of tables or images before their respective titles (e.g., "Table 1. xxx"). If using external sources, cite them properly. Table and image titles should be in Times New Roman, 11pt font, and table contents in Times New Roman, 10pt font, with single spacing. Explain any non-standard abbreviations in the table footnotes. A maximum of 5 tables or figures is allowed.

Conclusion
The conclusion should be written clearly, concisely, and in paragraph form—not in bullet points or numbered lists. It must summarize the key findings derived from the results and discussion sections. Authors are expected to highlight the main outcomes of the research or communication-related activities and reflect on their significance. The conclusion should also demonstrate how the findings contribute to the field of communication studies, without introducing new data or arguments.

 References

  1. Use the Vancouver superscript style, based on Author-Number.
  2. Use Times New Roman, 10pt font.
  3. Include at least 15-25 references (excluding literature reviews), 60% of scientific articles and 40% from source books.
  4. Limit references to the last 5 years, unless specific exceptions apply.
  5. Use superscript citation numbers (e.g., ... sentence^1).
  6. For citations of more than 2 sources, list them sequentially (e.g., ... sentence^1, ^1.5).
  7. Capitalize the first letter of each word in the reference title. For example: "introduction to communication science” (correct), not "Introduction to Communication Science" (incorrect).
  8. Note: For Use Mendeley/Zotero
