Notes before publication:

Three points should be verified to ensure that the Author Guidelines are consistent with the journal's policies:

• Abstract: The previous template specified a maximum of 300 words, whereas guidelines for other journals typically suggest 200–250 words. This draft adopts the 200–250-word range.
• References: The requirement that at least 80% of references must be from the last five years should only be implemented as an official policy if it is intended to be a mandatory requirement.
• Publication Fee: If the publication fee of IDR 400,000 is still in effect, this information should be stated in the "Publication Fee" section of the journal's website to ensure transparency for authors.
