ARTICLE CONTENTS
A PERDIKAN manuscript should be divided into the following sections: (1) Title page, (2) Abstract and Keywords, (4) Introduction, (5) Methods, (6) Results and Discussion, (7) Conclusion, (8) Acknowledgments, if any, and (9) References.
1. Introduction
The introduction section explains why the issues need to be researched (research significance) and provides supporting data or scientific evidence, including personal observations and results from other researchers' studies. The formulation of this research problem is always grounded in real-world conditions and is objectively scientific. Community engagement means providing services to society, applying science and technology in their respective fields, increasing society's capacity, and empowering communities. There is no theoretical background section in this manuscript. But you must input your theoretical background in the Introduction section. The theoretical background contains previous theories as the basis of research and the temporary hypothesis. The theory can be presented in scientific articles, journal articles, textbooks, or other sources of scientific writing. This theory will be used to provide the state of the art of your manuscript from the research problems that have been proposed. In the context of community engagement, the theory to use primarily is that related to community engagement, community development, or community services. Other theories still need to be researched to support theories that are presented after the theory of community engagement is discussed. After the theories are mentioned and discussed, you need to form a problem that shows why this manuscript is important, existing gaps, and previous research, and you, as an author, must write the purpose of the manuscript. An example of the existing gaps and previous research statement is at the end of the Introduction section (after theories are mentioned and discussed): ....... (short summary of background)....... A previous researcher is explained on ....... This research is limited to........ Indeed, this research intends to ................. The purpose of this research related to community engagement is ..........
2. Methods
Methods are the means used by the author to answer the existing research problem. The method must clearly state the location and time of the research, the population and sample, the research variables, and the research data. The method of your manuscript also mentions the details of your community engagement program.
3. Result and Discussion
Results and discussion contain the results obtained by the author during the research. The results of the research are submitted in advance as a whole, which continues with the process of discussion. The discussion is presented systematically, starting from the general and then leading to the specific. The research can be presented using tables, drawings/graphs, maps/plans, and schemes.
Results and discussion of your manuscript are also interconnected with your theory that was used, including the novelty of your manuscript about community engagement. Also, your manuscript is based on the result of your community engagement program, and what is the implication of this community engagement program to the community? The minimum of your explanation in this chapter ranges from 40% to 50% of your manuscript.
