Abstract: Must explain what the paper reviews and who the paper is of interest to. Written briefly in Indonesian and English in one paragraph of 100-150 words, containing the research objectives, methodology, results, and conclusions of the research.

Keywords: Written in Indonesian, 3-5 words or groups of words, written alphabetically. Make sure the keywords contain research variables or subjects to make it easier to distribute your article.

Introduction: Explains the background that explains why community service activities are urgently carried out, especially for practical purposes, and is accompanied by a brief literature review explanation that is directly related to previous research or findings that need to be developed and ends with a paragraph about the problem and purpose of community service.

Methods: Clearly describe the approach with the adjusted method, including instruments, data collection, and data analysis.

Results and Discussion: With a quantitative approach, well-prepared tables and/or figures should be an important feature of this section, because they convey key observations to the reader. Any information provided in tables and figures should not be repeated in the text, but the text should focus on the importance of the main findings of the study. In general, journal papers contain three to seven figures and tables. The same data cannot be presented in the form of tables and figures. In a qualitative approach, it must present data findings based on field observation results (field notes), interview results, and/or documentation. Furthermore, the research results are discussed to answer the formulation of the problem, objectives, research hypotheses, and/or research findings. It is strongly recommended that discussions focus on why and how the research findings occurred and extend the research findings to other relevant problems.

Limitations: briefly describe the limitations of the research findings.

Conclusion: The conclusion is written in paragraph form, not numerically. It contains theoretical statements, whether it aims to test a theory or find a new theory or develop a concept/theory/product. The statement needs to be supported by several sentences. The conclusion contains a brief description in the form of an answer to the problem posed.
