Author Guidelines

BORASPATI Journal Writing Guidelines.

Authors are expected to adhere to the following guidelines for their articles to be considered for publication.

Language

  • Articles may be written in English or Indonesian with clear, formal, and grammatically correct language.
  • If the article is written in Indonesian, both Indonesian and English abstracts must be provided.

Title

Article Title, between 8-14 words, describing the research that has been conducted

Abstract

For 100-150 words, An abstract is a brief summary of a research article, thesis, review, conference proceeding or in-depth analysis of a particular subject or discipline. It is often used to help the reader quickly ascertain the paper's purposes. The purpose of the abstract is only to write with one main goal, the primary method that is raised, and the concluding sentence, written straightforwardly and by the article title. The emphasis of abstract writing is mainly on research results. When used, an abstract always appears at the beginning of a manuscript or typescript, acting as the entry point for any academic paper or patent application. Abstracting and indexing services for various academic disciplines aim to compile a body of literature for that subject. Abstract length varies by discipline and publisher requirements. Abstracts are typically sectioned logically as an overview of what appears in the paper.
Keywords: content; formatting; article.

Introduction
The introduction mainly contains (1) research problems, (2) insights and problem-solving plans, (3) formulation of research objectives, and (4) a summary of theoretical studies related to the problem under study. This section sometimes also contains expectations of the results and benefits of the research. The introduction is about 2-3 pages long and typed with 1 space.
The introduction at the beginning should not be conceptual; the introduction should display substantial things, namely, facts and data from the initial study, the problem to be solved, and the current research findings. Write the research objectives preceded by a gap analysis. Optional benefits can be written or not. Previously (other authors) have published on almost the same topic, even though there have been many previous studies on nearly the same subject.
It is necessary to pay attention to the introduction in a high-quality manuscript, including (1) Background: Introduce the topic using the triangle principle and emphasize why this topic is essential, (2) State of the art: relate to current knowledge, and use state of the art references, (3) Gap Analysis: What has been done; and What needs to be done, (4) Objectives: Introduce what is being done (researched), and provide the primary purpose of this manuscript by including the novelty of this research.
For articles that will be published in the Boraspati Journal, the detailed rules of the article format follow the provisions of this article format. The article format in this template is the agreed general format for Boraspati Journal, which becomes the journal's style. 
The template for this article format is made in MS Word and then saved in doc or docx format. This article format template file can be downloaded from the Boraspati Journal Website (https://Boraspati.or.id). This template allows article authors to prepare articles according to the rules relatively quickly and accurately, especially for the needs of electronic articles uploaded to the Journal.

Methodology 
This section explains how the research was conducted. The primary materials of this section are: (1) research design; (2) population and sample (research targets); (3) data collection techniques and instrument development; (4) data analysis techniques. For research that uses tools and materials, it is necessary to write down the specifications of the tools and materials. Tool specifications describe the tools' sophistication, while material specifications describe the type of materials used.
The methodology states why the method was chosen, the reasons, the participants, their characteristics, the data to be collected, and the instruments used. The methodology avoids conceptual/understanding things. Describe the instruments used in more detail. For example, the instrument is validated or tested, etc. Add illustrations in the form of pictures or charts.
For qualitative research, such as classroom action research, ethnography, phenomenology, case studies, and others, it is necessary to add the presence of the researcher, research subjects, informants who help with the ways of extracting research data, the location and duration of the research, and a description of checking the validity of the research results.

Results and Discussion
Results
This section is the central part of the research article and is usually the longest part. The research results presented in this section are "clean" results. Data analysis processes such as statistical calculations and hypothesis testing processes do not need to be given. Only the results of the analysis and the results of hypothesis testing need to be reported. Tables and graphs can clarify the verbal presentation of research results. Tables and graphs should be commented on or discussed.
For qualitative research, the results section contains detailed sections in the form of sub-topics directly related to the research focus and categories. The discussion in the article aims to (1) answer the problem formulation and research questions, (2) show how the findings were obtained, (3) interpret the findings, (4) relate the research findings to the established knowledge structure, and (5) generate new theories or modify existing theories.
The research results must be explicitly concluded in answering the problem formulation and research questions. The interpretation of the findings is done using logic and existing theories. In the form of reality in the field, findings are integrated/related to previous research results or existing theories. For this purpose, there must be a reference. In generating new theories, old theories can be confirmed or rejected; some may need to modify the theory from the old theory.

Discussion
The discussion discusses 1) a summary of the research results; 2) the findings or novelty of the research findings in the article and compares/compares the findings with the research results of previous relevant journal articles (Relationship or difference "results" with other studies); 3) Interpretation of Findings: researchers explain the meaning and significance of the results found, including whether the results support or reject the initial hypothesis of previous research; 4) Implications of research results: researchers discuss the impact or contribution of research results to the broader field of study, including practical applications, policies, or theoretical implications; 5) Research Limitations: Researchers acknowledge the weaknesses or limitations that exist in their research, whether in terms of methodology, research design, sample, or other factors that may affect the generalizability of the results; 6) Suggestions for Future Research: Based on the findings and limitations, researchers provide recommendations for future research that can explore areas that remain unclear or improve upon existing limitations.
In the discussion, avoid using numbering and bulleting. Please make it into paragraphs by adding connecting sentences. Data in the results should be presented with graphs or tables to make it more interesting. avoid conceptual things. In the discussion section, compare and contrast research findings with previous relevant research, at least 15 reputable national and international journal sources.

Conclusion
The conclusion presents a summary of the description of the results and discussion, referring to the research objectives. Based on these two things, new points of thought are developed, which are the essence of the research findings. The conclusion briefly describes the findings and does not rewrite the data in the results and discussion with solutive sentences. Maximum 200 words. 

Acknowledgements
Authors are grateful to certain parties, such as research sponsors and parties who help until the article is published. They state their gratitude clearly and briefly, avoiding flowery statements.  

Bibliography Writing
The bibliography is a list of papers read by the author in preparing the article and then used as a reference. In scientific articles, the bibliography must be included as a complement to the reference and as an indication of the reference source. The writing of the bibliography follows the rules in this guideline. A bibliography must use a reference management application (Mendeley, Zetero, and the like). Must use the latest references (up-to-date) in the last 10 years with APA 7th style.

Bibliography 
(Bibliography of at least 25 references to journal articles with DOI and must use reference management applications, such as Mendeley, Zotero and others with APA 7th style.), Complete the reference details with the DOI of the article. If the DOI is not found, replace it with the article's URL.
