AUTHOR GUIDELINES

  1. The submitted manuscript should be prepared in clear, standard, and scientific English. The use of proper grammar, vocabulary, and terminology appropriate for an academic publication is expected.
  2. The manuscript must follow the RISET TEMPLATE.
  3. The manuscript should be 13–16 pages in length (including references), prepared on A4 paper with single spacing, 1-inch margins, and a 12-pt Times New Roman font. Text should be fully justified. The manuscript should follow the IMRAD structure: Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusions, Acknowledgements (optional), and References.
  4. The title should be brief, clear, and informative (up to 10 words), presented in bold, all caps (UPPERCASE), 16-pt Times New Roman, and center-justified.
  5. Author's name(s) should be presented without titles or academic degrees (such as Prof., Dr., PhD), followed by their institutional affiliation and email address.
