1 INTRODUCTION
This document provides formatting instructions and guidelines for the preparation of the full papers
for the 15th Indonesian Scholars International Convention. Please follow the instructions and
guidelines herein when preparing your paper as failure to do so will result in a paper being rejected,
returned for appropriate revision, or edited without your knowledge. The page size in the proceedings
must be A4 size (21 cm by 29.7 cm). The total length of the paper should be minimum of 8 pages and
maximum of 10 pages including list of references and appendices. Turn the MS Word spell-check on
and use the UK English.

2 PAPER STRUCTURE AND GUIDELINES

This section provides you with the structure of the paper and guidelines on how to write the paper,
hence how your paper will be reviewed. The paper should include the following sections:

Abstract
An abstract is a summary of the paper which typically includes:
 The essential features of the research completed
 Key points of the paper and important results
 How the results are interpreted, e.g. a short discussion of the results and the conclusions

Introduction
 The introduction needs to put your research in context by explaining the motivation and the
need for your work.
 The introduction must include a clear statement of the research aim and specific research
questions or objectives that will be addressed.
 LastName1, LastName2, LastName3 and LastName4

 The introduction should incorporate some related work in the form of a concise review of the
relevant literature. The review must be focused on characterising the research problem or
knowledge gap that your research will address. The review should move substantially beyond
what is available in any individual textbook.
 You should assess the published literature critically and synthesise existing knowledge (do not
simply recap the papers sequentially).

Research Methods
Written using the past tense, this section should provide sufficient information for the work to be
reproduced in the future.
Depending on the nature of your work, the section will typically describe:
 The research strategy (e.g. deductive / hypothesis testing, or inductive / hypothesis forming)
and overall method (sequence of activities)
 The sampling strategy and procedure
 The data collection methodologies employed (including any ethical considerations)
 The experimental techniques (physical, chemical, microbiological), modelling techniques,
survey or interview analysis methods employed
 The approach taken to ensure reliability and validity of results (i.e. research quality)

Results
Write the results or outcomes concisely and clearly.
 Choose the data that have the greatest impact on the storyline of your research.
 Make effective and selective use of tables and figures
 Do not include results that are irrelevant to the paper or which do not contribute to answering
the research aim or question(s) identified in the Introduction section.
 The results section should demonstrate any trends evident in the generated and/or processed
data.

Discussion
 A discussion section needs to consider the results against the aim and objectives and should
place your work in context by comparing your data and interpretations with theories or other
data published on similar systems or case studies.
 Good papers will provide insightful, critical evaluation of the research and develop
original arguments in a concise, clear and coherent manner. Critical consideration of
research limitations and priorities for further research should also be discussed in this section.

Conclusions
 Conclusions must be drawn to address the aim, research question(s) or objectives stated in the
Introduction section.
 Ideally, conclusions will discuss the implications of the research in terms of new knowledge
or real-world applications. Recommendations for practitioners or industry may be included.

3 FORMATTING YOUR PAPER

The paper should be set in the Times New Roman font using a 11-point font size. The paper should be
single spaced. Do not use other fonts; use of other fonts means the proceedings editors will need to
send the paper back to you to change the font. The width of the text area is 6.5 inches (16.0 cm). The
margins should be 1 inch (2.54 cm) all sides.

3.1 Formatting first page

Centre the title of the paper on the page and set it in bold FULL CAPITALS. Multiline titles should
have about the same amount of text on each line. There should be 2 blank rows between the title and
the authors’ names.
 LastName1, LastName2, LastName3 and LastName4

Each author’s name should be capitalised and centred on a new line, with the author’s first name
first and no job title or honorific. Insert 1 blank line between the author’s name and address. The
organisation or institution that the author is affiliated to should be typed first. Next, type the full street
address, without abbreviations, followed by the city, province, post code and country. The address
should be centred and capitalised, except for the country, which should be set in FULL CAPITALS
(See the first page of these instructions for an example). For papers with multiple authors, the authors
should be listed in order of decreasing contribution, with authors from the same institution grouped
together if possible. There should be 3 blank rows between the author names and the text of the
paper. The authors are provided in a table so adding and deleting columns is done via the table
commands.

3.2 Formatting subsequent pages

Headings of sections, subsections, and sub-subsections should be left-justified. One-line captions for
figures or tables should be centred. A multiline caption for a figure or table should be fully justified.
All other text should be fully justified across the page (that is, the text should line up on the right-hand
and left-hand sides of the page).
Section, subsection, and sub-subsection headings should appear flush left, set in the bold font
style, and numbered as shown in this document. The headings for the Abstract, Acknowledgments,
References and Keywords are not numbered. Section headings should be set in FULL CAPITALS
LIKE THIS PHRASE, while subsection and sub-subsection headings should be Capitalised in
Headline Style like This Phrase. Lengthy headings should be broken across two or more lines. Insert
one blank line before and after each heading. Do not use footnotes; instead incorporate such material
into the text directly or parenthetically. Do not include page numbers. Page numbers are generated by
the proceedings editors once all accepted papers are ordered for the final proceedings.

3.3 Mathematical Expressions in Text and in Displays

Display only the most important equations, and number only the displayed equations that are
explicitly referenced in the text. To conserve space, simple mathematical expressions such as
Y  n 1 in1 Yi may be incorporated into the text. Mathematical expressions that are more
complicated is referenced in the text, then enclose the equation number in parentheses (1) and place it
flush with the right-hand margin of the column. For example, the quadratic equation has the general
form (1)

ax 2  bx  c  0, where a  0. (1)

3.4 Figures and Tables

Figures and tables should be centred within the text and should not extend beyond the right and left
margins of the paper. Figures and tables can make use of colour thanks to the electronic proceedings.
Figures and tables are numbered sequentially, but separately, using Arabic numerals.
When adding pictures, diagrams or tables to the document, please limit the size of imported files
preferably by using the graphical editor of Word, or importing files which are saved at 300 dpi JPEG
(.jpg format). Don’t make use of auto-link facilities, such as links to Excel when using tables.
Each table should appear in the document after the paragraph in which the table is first
referenced. One-line captions are centred, while multiline captions are left justified. The caption
should begin with the word Table, followed by the table number and a colon. Captions are written
using normal sentences with full punctuation. It is fine to have multiple-sentence captions that help to
explain the table.

Table 1: Counting in Indonesian

English Indonesian
One Satu
Two Dua
 LastName1, LastName2, LastName3 and LastName4

Each figure should appear in the document after the paragraph in which the figure is first
referenced. Figure captions appear below the figure. One-line captions are centred, while multiline
captions are left justified.

3.5 Citing a Reference

To cite a reference in the text, use the author-date method. Thus, Chien (1989) could also be cited
parenthetically (Chien, 1989). For work by more than three authors, use an abbreviated form. For
example, a work by Banks, Carson, Nelson and Nicol would be cited in one of the following ways:
Banks et al. (2000) or (Banks et al. 2000).
Parenthetical citations are enclosed in parentheses ( ), not square brackets [ ]. The items in a series
of such citations are usually separated by commas. If an item in the series of parenthetical citations
contains punctuation because (for example) it refers to a work with three or more co-authors, then all
items must be separated by semicolons.

3.6 List of References

Place the list of references after the appendices. The section heading is REFERENCES, and is not
numbered. List only references that are cited in the text. Arrange the references in alphabetical order
(chronologically for a particular author or group of authors); do not number the references. Give
complete references without abbreviations. To identify multiple references by the same authors and
year, append a lower case letter to the year of publication; for example, 1984a and 1984b.
