Abstract [Garamond 9]
The abstract must summarize the summary containing the background, research objectives, methods, findings and main conclusions of the writing. Abstract writing in Indonesian is written with left-right alignment, after the abstract in English, with one space and one column. The word "Abstract" as the title is written in 9-point Garamond font, bold, left-aligned, with the first letter capitalized.

Then continue with the main text of the manuscript.
Keywords
Keywords are written in 3 - 6 words/phrases which should be a subset of the manuscript title and separated by commas for between words/phrases.
Manuscript Structure
The manuscript is written with the following structure; 1. Introduction, 2. Theoretical Basis (optional) 3. Research Method (can include analysis, architecture, methods used to solve problems, implementation), 4. Results and Discussion, 5. Conclusion, 6. Acknowledgements (optional) and 7. References.
The contents of the introduction are the answers to questions [3,4]: (1). Background, (2). A brief literature review of related research (3). Reasons for conducting this research and (4). Objective questions. State of the art, gap analysis and novelty are seen here. Avoid discussing literature reviews and general definitions.
Research Methodology
Explain the preparation method and characterization techniques used. Explain briefly, but remain accurate such as size, volume, replication and processing techniques. New methods must be explained in detail so that other researchers can reproduce the experiment. While established methods can be explained by citing references [5-7].
Manuscript Length
The manuscript is written in A4 paper size with a minimum of 6 pages excluding the list of references, a maximum of 15 pages, including tables and figures, a spacing between paragraphs of 6pt and with reference to the writing procedures as arranged in this paper.
Results and Discussion
A series of research results based on a logical sequence/arrangement to form a story. The content shows facts/data and do not discuss the results. Can use Tables and Figures but do not describe repeatedly the same data in images, tables and text. To further clarify the description, you can use sub-headings.
The discussion is a basic explanation, relationships and generalizations shown by the results. The description answers the research questions. If there are doubtful results, display them objectively.
Manuscript Layout
An easy way to create a layout is to use this guide directly. Basically, it is recommended not to use numbering (1, 2, 3, a, b, c etc.) in the discussion of the manuscript, change it into a sentence form. Avoid using Bullets/sequential lists with symbols *, √ and others. Avoid blank pages.
In order for the submitted manuscript to be processed immediately by the editor, make sure it has been written well following the instructions in this guide carefully.
Tables
Tables must be numbered according to the order of presentation (Table 1, etc.). The table title is written above the table with a center justified position, no bold or colored print. The font used is 10pt for both the table title and the table contents. The table must be referred to and referred to in the text. There are no perpendicular lines in the table.
Images
Images are numbered according to the order of presentation (Figure 1, etc.). The image title is placed below the image with a center justified position. The font used in the image title is 10pt. Images must be referred to and referred to in the text.
Formulas
Formulas are written clearly using equations with index numbers,
explanation of formula variables is written in paragraph form, not list items.
Program Listing
Program listing and algorithm design are written using Lucia Console font (8pt) with a fixed width
Page Specifications
Use Times New Roman font type throughout the manuscript, with the font size as exemplified in this writing guide. The spacing is single and the contents of the writing or manuscript use left-right alignment (justified). The page size is A4 (210 mm x 297 mm). The page margins are 2.54 cm top-bottom, left and right.
An easy way to write a manuscript is to write directly on the Journal template.
Conclusion
There should be no references in the conclusion. The conclusion contains the facts obtained, sufficient to answer the problem or research objectives (do not be a discussion again); State the possibility of application, implications and appropriate speculation. If necessary, provide suggestions for further research. State the conclusion in a sentence in paragraph form, not in numbering form.
Acknowledgements (if any)
Mention the names of the donors and providers of facilities who helped.
References
It is recommended to use Mendeley/Zotero tools for reference management. Everything listed in the bibliography/references must be referred to in the manuscript. Minimum 10 primary and recent references (last 5 years). Written in 10pt font size and using the IEEE citation method.
