  • Result and Discussion: this section are presenting the data, the result, and what does the data mean. After the author summarized the data both on the table or paragraph, the author should continue analyze the data findings. The authors are allowed to use their opinion and intellectual mind. The result and discussion may explain any problems or limitation that the author/s found in the research/experiment, show how the problems affected the data findings. Please use positive statements to emphasize the result.
  • Conclusion: the author could summarize the finding and explain the implication of the research/report. Please not put any table and figures. The author may put some recommendation to improve the findings or suggestion for future research/report. The conclusion and recommendation may obtain 1-2 paragraphs with less repeating of the major findings.
  • References: 

    The bibliography only contains references that are actually cited in manuscripts, and follow the rules of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Style by using Mendeley as reference manager.

    The IEEE style is a numeric style, where citations are numbered [1] in the order of appearance. This citation leads your reader to a full reference to the source in the list of references at the end of your work. Each citation number should be enclosed in square brackets on the same line as the text, before any punctuation, with a space before the bracket [2]. Once a source has been cited, the same number is re-used for all subsequent citations to the same source.
