Discussion must answers the problems, interprets the research results and the findings into the already known knowledge, confirms and/or contrasts with the research of other researchers, constructs the new theory, and/or modifies the previous theory. Discussion must also contain the implications of both theoretical and implementation results.
  19. Conclusion must be able to answer the research objectives/questions and should not repeat the abstract or simply rewrite the experimental results.
  20. The paragraph is written in justify. Inter-paragraph is given 5 character for left indentation.
  21. The title of the figure uses Palatino Linotype size 11, center alignment, 1 line spacing, and placed at the bottom of the picture. The image file(s) is in .jpg, .bmp, or .png format and must be attached in separate file(s) with the Article.

CITATION STYLE

The article should use at least 30 references with (at least) 80% of the newest references (not more than 10 years) and consist of (at least) 80% articles from a scientific journal (national accredited journal, at least Sinta 3, and/or international indexed journal, i.e. Scopus, WoS, etc.). The references use the numerical system, font size 11, and sorted by a sequence of use in the article. The link or DOI of the cited articles must be given completely (see example numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14, 15, 16, and 17). In citing for the article body, the citation is done using square brackets containing the sequence number of the literature, for example [1], [2], [3], etc.

References writing system adopts Vancouver format (complete guide is provided in JPFA Author Pack). Reference writing is strongly recommended using references manager software (Mendeley, End Note, or Zotero) with citation style: Elsevier Vancouver. The JPFA's citation style in Mendeley can be downloaded in https://csl.mendeley.com/styles/12229861/JPFA-Citation-Style. More information about the installation of JPFA Citation Style in Mendeley can be seen in the JPFA Author Pack. The JPFA Citation Style in other reference management software will be coming soon.
