1. The bibliography contains the sources used as references in the study. Referral sources of at least 80% of the literature published in the last ten years is preferably. References used are primary sources of articles that exist in scientific journals or research reports (thesis, dissertation). The bibliography is written alphabetically with Cambria10 pt, space 1, special indentation hanging by 0.25". The rules of writing the bibliography follow the rules of American Psychological Association (APA). We recommend to use the reference manager, i.e., Mendeley, Zotero, EndNote, etc. Include at least 15 reference sources with example below:

Copy Editing and Galley Proof

The process of copy editing is a process to improve grammar, the size of letters and punctuation. Copyediting is done after the manuscript is declared worthy of publication. Process copy editing involves the author as a sign of the authors approval in terms of grammar. The Galley Proof process is the process of re-reading the manuscript before publication. Galley Proof on the OJS is expected to occur only in the position placement error table, or description of an image that does not exist.
