 ABSTRACT

The abstract should consist of a minimum of 110 to 200 words with using [Times New Roman MS 10 points, Italic]. The abstract should be clear and descriptive and provide a brief overview of the problem conducted/researched. The abstract should explain the significance of the topic, theory, and experiments to the issues, objectives, methods, research results, and conclusions discussed. Below the abstract, write 3-6 keywords with 10 pt font size.

1. INTRODUCTION

The manuscript is written using [Times New Roman size 11 font, Justify margin] with single spacing. The manuscript is in a two-column format with a 1 cm space between columns on A4-sized paper (210 mm x 297 mm). Right and left margins of 25.4 mm and top and bottom margins of 25.4 mm. The introduction includes the research background, research context, literature review, and research objectives.

Before writing the objectives of the study, a Gap Analysis (Research Gap analysis) or novelty statement should be clearly and explicitly stated. This aims to show the difference and uniqueness of this research compared to previous studies and the importance of conducting this research. Do not use sentences like this: “Based on this background, then the aim of this research is...”.

After the Gap Analysis (Research Gap analysis) , then write the research objectives explicitly, straightforwardly, and clearly. Gap analysis and research objectives should be put together in one paragraph to strengthen the research argument.

All parts of the introduction should be presented in the form of paragraphs, with a proportion of about 15-20% of the overall length of the article. In addition to explaining the background of the research's problem, purpose, and objectives, the introduction should also clearly and sharply state or discuss the research gap, as well as a state-of-the-art (SoTA) or literature review based on previous studies. This literature review should include at least 15 journals published in the last 5 years. This aims to justify/strengthen the statement of novelty, significance, scientific contribution and originality of the results obtained, along with the contribution made by the manuscript, and not just to strengthen the theoretical review or definition alone. The manuscript can be written in Indonesian or English, with a length of between 4000 - 6000 words (6 - 10 pages), including figures and tables, but excluding the bibliography. If the manuscript is in Indonesian, then the abstract must be in Indonesian and English, while if the manuscript is in English, then the abstract is only in English.

 2. RESEARCH METHODS

The research method consists of an explanation of the research design, data sources, data collection, and data analysis, with a proportion of about 10-15% of the article's total length. The method used is based on the research objectives. 

The research methods and design that will be used need to be explained in detail to support the achievement of the research objectives. This includes an explanation of the data collection techniques, instruments used, research procedures, and research design chosen.

The data analysis techniques used should also be clearly described. This description should illustrate how the data will be analyzed to produce findings that are relevant to the research objectives.

 3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The results and discussion section explains the results of data analysis to answer the research questions and the meaning of the research results based on current theories and references from related fields. The proportion of this section is 40-60% of the total length of the article. The results and discussion should contain several important elements.

First (what/how element), the author must clearly explain how the data presented has been processed so that it is not in the form of raw data. The data can be presented in the form of tables or figures and given a description that is easy to understand. Furthermore, write down the important findings of the research results, then discuss them in the next discussion section.

Secondly (the why element), in the discussion section, it is important to show the connection between the results or important findings obtained with basic concepts and/or relevant theories. Some fields of science even have to discuss up to the level of studying molecular aspects. It is important to support the discussion with real and clear facts [1].

Third (what/how element), it is also necessary to include whether there is a comparison of compatibility or contradiction with other people's research results. This can illustrate the extent to which this research's results align with or contradict previous findings or references in the same field. In other words, references are intended to be used as a comparison and not as a source of statement.

3.1. Research Results

Research or experimental results should be presented in graphical or tabular form. Tables are written in [Times New Roman 9-point font], and one single space is placed below the table title. Column headings are written in 10-point bold font and placed above the table in the format shown in Table 1. Table numbering uses Arabic numerals. The table outline uses 1-point thick lines and does not use or show vertical lines or column lines. The horizontal line or row-column only consists of the top separator line, the bottom separator, and the separator between subtitles with table captions (if any), as shown in Table 1. If the table contains more detailed data or has more detailed information that exceeds the column width, then the table can be placed in a one-column format. Tables are not allowed to use image formats (jpg, jpeg, png) or other screen capture results. Thus, the information contained can be seen in more detail. As for graphs, they can follow the standard format of diagrams and images with the standard resolution of this journal. Furthermore, the numbering of figures and tables is done sequentially with the position in the centre, as shown in the examples in Table 1 and in Figure 1.

3.2. Discussion

If there is a discussion in the research results, it can be displayed in the form of a series of words or a detailed explanation of the research results that have been achieved. Subchapters or titles use numbers such as (1.1, 1.2, 1.3) and begin with capital letters that are bolded. If using equations/formulas, then the equation writing must use the Equation editor feature as shown below.

             V = I x R                                                               (1)

If there are figures or schemes, they should be placed symmetrically in a column with a distance of one single space from the paragraph [2]. If the image or scheme has more detailed information that causes the size of the image or scheme to exceed the column width, the image can use a one-column format (Example Figure 1).

For image resolution, the minimum allowed is 300 dpi (1000 pixels) or more (if possible) [3]. The image or schematic file should be included in the manuscript. However, if this is not possible, the image or schematic file can be submitted separately in a zip or rar archive file and then submitted as an additional file. Common formats are acceptable; however, EPS, TIFF, JPEG, and PDF are preferred.

 Writing a Bibliography or Reference requires using one of the reference manager applications, such as Mendeley, Zotero, and Endnote, with IEEE style. The minimum number of references is 15 references, 80% of which are taken from journals published in the last 5 years with links that can be accessed online. For reference writing, authors are required to use a plagiarism checker application such as Turnitin or Ithenticate in each manuscript. The maximum plagiarism tolerance limit set is 25% (Terms can be read here). Plagiarism checking results can be submitted as an additional file when submitting articles on the Jurnal Media Elektro website.

4. CONCLUSIONS

Conclusions should reflect answers or conclusions that are in accordance with the research problem or objectives or can also produce a new theory/concept based on existing facts/analysis and must be supported by adequate and significant research data; and do not rewrite the results and discussion sections. Conclusions should be written in paragraph form, not in the form of list/numbering items. The bibliography must be written correctly, completely, and consistently in accordance with the writing format described in the Author Guidelines. The currency of the main reference literature, especially those used to justify originality or novelty (in the Introduction) should be sourced from references from the last 5 years. The bibliography has at least 15 references, and most of them (at least 80%) come from primary literature such as scientific journals, proceedings, patent research reports, and so on. The use of secondary references such as textbooks as a reference source containing concepts and theories is still allowed but should not exceed 20% of the total references.
