Title
The title should attract the reader’s attention, not contain infrequently-used abbreviations, and clearly indicate the main topic with accurate, unambiguous, specific sentence.

The author’s name should consist of two words (first named followed by last name) and the last/family name can’t be abbreviated. If the name only has one word, the name can be written repeatedly (for example: Ratna Ratna or R. Ratna). The order of the author’s name must be agreed upon all members. The corresponding author should be specified by marking the name. When there are more than two authors, the names are separated by commas except for the last which is separated from the previous names by the word “and”. The name of the institution must be written in full (not abbreviated). In writing in the name of institution, give a comma between the names of major/study program, faculty, and university. If all authors come from the same institution, the coding should not be needed)
Example:
*First Author1, Second Author2, and Third Author3
1First Author’s Institution
2Second Author’s Institution
*Corresponding Author: First author’s email
Abstract
The abstract is a short summary of an article normally written as a single paragraph with a maximum length of 200-250 words, not contains any figures, tables, or in-text references, and avoid using abbreviations and citations. It should also consist of background, materials and methods, results, and conclusion. The paragraph orientates the reader about the overall issue addressed in the article, indicates the main aim or purposes of the study, explains the academic and/or practical importance of the study, briefly described the methodology used in the study, summarizes the main findings, indicate the contribution made by the study in filling gaps in the literature as a conclusion statement, and highlight the practical or managerial implications of the study’s findings where appropriate.
Keywords
A maximum of 6-8 keywords with specific and relevant terms should be included in the article directly after the abstract that preferably reflect the discipline, sub-discipline, theme, research design and context of the study. The keywords should be typed in italics and in sentence case which means that only the first letter of the first keyword and the first letter of all proper nouns are written in capital letters. The keywords should be also alphabetically orders, separated by commas, and not stopped by a full stop after the last keyword.
Keywords: Children’s influence, consumer’s behavior, culture, parental decisions, parental perceptions, product choice decisions, survey
- 1. Introduction
The introduction should briefly explain the background of the study, summarize pertinent research/literature with references to articles from the past 10 years that will strengthen the originality’s justification of the research, explain the main contribution of the study in a way of indicating the gaps in knowledge and presenting the research question, and provide the importance of the current study by stating the research objectives and/or the research hypotheses.
- 2. Materials and Methods
This section should explain the type of the research, location and time, population and sample, sampling technique, data collection technique, data analysis, and data presentation into one narrative passage.
- 3. Results
The interpretation of research results is written in form of narrative followed by the discussion that collaborate the research results with the corresponding theories. The result section should present the trend of the findings, not in detail. It can be presented with tables and figures with sufficient information so that the reader can see which statistical analyses were conducted and why, and to justify the conclusion. Present the results in sequence that will logically support the hypothesis, or answer the question, stated in the introduction.
- 4. Discussion
The discussion section should not merely restate the findings reported in the result section or report additional findings that have not been discussed earlier in the article. The focus should rather be on highlighting the broader implications of the study’s findings and relating these back to literature and previous research.
- 5. Conclusion
A clear conclusion section helps reviewers to judge the work easily. Conclusion and suggestion are written within 1 paragraph and must not use bullet or number. Conclusion consists of brief summary of the description of the results according to the objectives of the study. Suggestion is arranged based on the findings of the study that has been scrutinized on the discussion. Suggestion may refer to practical actions, development of new theories, and/or further research.
- 6. Acknowledgements
This section is an optional, author should be identify or thank for person (s) or institution those who provided financial support and contributions to the research.
- 7. References
All articles submitted must contain no more than 25 references and less than 10 references written in Vancouver Style. The compositions of references include a minimum of 80% from primary sources (journal which contains direct research results, not the results of other people's research compilations) and maximum of 20% from secondary sources published within 10 years of research (textbooks). Unpublished sources, such as manuscript or personal communication cannot be used as reference text. Reference from the online journal must include DOI (Digital Object Identifier).

Tables and Figures
Tables and figures are particularly valuable for conveying large amounts of information and for showing relationships among data. Author should decide on the most comprehensible ways of presenting the information instead of duplicate reporting data. Good tables and figures should be clear and self-explanatory so that, with their captions. They can stand apart from the text. Tables and Figures are assigned numbers separately and in the sequence that will refer to them from the text. A brief description of the results being presented and other necessary information in a legend must be included in each table or figure.
