STRUCTURE OF THE MANUSCRIPT

    1. Title. The title should be short, concise, clear, informative, and reflect article content (max. 15 words).
    2. Authors' Names and Affiliation. The author's names should be accompanied by the author's affiliation, institution address, and email address, without any academic titles or job titles.
    3. Abstract. Abstract is written in a single paragraph about 150-250 words maximum. We strongly encourage authors to use the following style of structured abstracts, but without headings: (1) Background: Place the question addressed in a broad context and highlight the purpose of the study; (2) Purpose of the Study: Identify the purpose and objective of the study; (3) Methods: Describe briefly the main methods or theoretical framework applied; (4) Results: Summarise the article's main findings; and (5) Conclusions: Indicate the main conclusions or interpretations.
    4. Keywords. List three to five pertinent keywords specific to the article.
    5. Introduction. The introduction contains an adequate backdrop about academic anxiety on an issue or problem in a broad context and highlights why it is important, mapping the relevant previous research/literature review (to arrange the state-of-the-art) and the research focus/objective.
    6. Methods. In this section, you explain clearly how you conducted your research to: (1) enable readers to evaluate the work performed and (2) permit others to replicate your research. You must describe the research methods used, starting from the type and approach of the research, along with scientific reasons, data type and sources, data collection techniques, and data analysis techniques. Explanations in this section are not theoretical but must be operational, following those carried out in the study.
    7. Results and Discussion. The purpose of the Results and Discussion is to state your findings and make interpretations and/or opinions, explain the implications of your findings, and make suggestions for future research. Its main function is to answer the questions posed in the introduction, explain how the results support the answers, and how the answers fit in with existing knowledge on the topic. The results obtained from the research have to be supported by sufficient data. The research results and the discovery must be the answers or the research hypothesis stated previously in the introduction part. The Discussion is considered the heart of the paper and usually requires several writing attempts. This section discusses the research findings (important data obtained from data collection in the field) using theory/concept and previous research/literature review, and relevant references. This section can also be divided into several sub-sections, which contain a discussion of data and analysis.
    8. Conclusion. The conclusion is intended to help the reader understand why your research should matter to them after they have finished reading the paper. A conclusion is not merely a summary of the main topics covered or a re-statement of your research problem, but a synthesis of key points. It is important that the conclusion does not leave the questions unanswered, and suggestions or recommendations for the next research.
    9. References. The literature listed in the References contains only the sources referenced or included in the article. We recommend preparing the references using the reference manager application (Zotero, Mendeley) to avoid typing mistakes and duplicate references, and utilize the format/citation style of the APA (American Psychological Association) Style 7th edition.
