1. Original research paper, which is an article that reports detailed research and classified as primary literature. Its format includes an introduction and background problems, review of literature and hypotheses development, research method, results, interpretations of findings, discussion, and conclusion. The length of the paper is generally between 4000-7000 words.
2. A review paper, which is an article that provides up-to-date reports and discussions on the current issues of education management and instruction.

General Structure of Original Research

Paper Identity
The paper title must be concise and informative. It should be pinpoint with the issue discussed and should not exceed 20 words. The title should represent the primary problem and/or main variables of the paper. The title is followed by the authors' names, affiliation, and email. The names of authors should be written without any academic title. An ORCID ID must be added for each author. 

Abstract
The abstract should be clear and informative, and is created in a single paragraph, consisting 150-300 words. The abstract should succinctly describe your entire paper. It begins with the research gap, and followed by the purpose of the research, methodology, main results, and contribution of the findings. The abstract should stand alone, which means that no citation or no references in the abstract. The abstract should tell the prospective reader what the author did and highlight the key findings. Avoid using technical jargon and uncommon abbreviations. Following the abstract, 3-5 keywords that are well selected and closely related to the research topic must be provided. 

Introduction
The introduction of research paper should clearly state the purpose of the paper. It includes key references to appropriate work. It states the significant contribution of the research. The introduction should consist of the background of the study, research contexts, review of previous research, research gaps, and research objectives (at the end of the introduction). The introduction should show the scientific merit or novelty of the paper. All introductions should be presented in the forms of paragraphs, not pointers, and with a proportion of 15-20% of the whole article length.
The introduction should comprise literature review that includes a review of related literature in essay style. The purpose of a literature review is to “look again” (re+view) at what previous researchers have done regarding to the topics of the article. Thus, in the literature review, the researchers should critically evaluates, re-organizes and synthesizes the work of previous researchers, then followed by the formulation of hypotheses (if any).

Research Method
The method section consists of a description concerning the research design, sample selection and data sources, research instruments, data collection, and data analysis (variable measurement) with the proportion of 10-15% of the total article length, all presented in the form of paragraphs.

Results
The results obtained from the research have to be supported by sufficient data. The research results and the discovery must be the answers of the research questions and/or hypotheses stated previously in the review of literature part. The results section consists of a description of the results of the data analysis to answer the research question(s). The results should summarize (scientific) findings. It usually contains data presented in the form of tables, interview responses, and figures (see the Article Template for detail description of how to present tables, interview responses, figures, and graphs)

Discussion
Every author has different style in writing discussion section. In general, the discussion should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. In the discussion, it is the most important section of your article. Here you get the chance to sell your data. Make the discussion corresponding to the results, but do not reiterate the results. Often should begin with a brief summary of the main scientific findings. The meanings of the findings should be shown from current theories and references of the area addressed. The following components should be covered in discussion: How do your results relate to the original question or hypothesis outlined in the Introduction/review of literature section (what)? Do you provide interpretation scientifically for each of your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results consistent with what other investigators have reported (what else)? Or are there any differences? In qualitative research, DISCUSSION can be presented along with the RESULT section to depict an in-depth explanation about the issue being discussed. 

Conclusion
The conclusion section consists of the summary, restatement of the main findings. It should state concisely the most important propositions of the paper as well as the author’s views of the practical implications of the result. Tell how your work advances the field from the present state of knowledge. Without a clear conclusion, reviewers and readers will find it difficult to judge the work, and whether or not it merits publication in the journal. Do not repeat the Abstract, or just list experimental results. Provide a clear scientific justification for your work, and indicate possible applications and extensions. You can also suggest future research and point out those that are underway. Write only one or two paragraphs for the Conclusion.
