Author Guidelines

Title
The title should be concise, straightforward, informative, and describe the content of the article. Titles are often used in article information retrieval systems. Therefore, avoid abbreviations and formulas whenever possible. In certain cases, the title can be written in a question sentence. Titles can be provocative and arouse the reader's curiosity.

Author's name and affiliation
Please clearly indicate the given name and surname of each author and check that all names are spelled accurately. Then, indicate the author's affiliation address under the name. Indicate all affiliations in lowercase superscript letters immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliate, including the name of the country and, if available, the email address of each author. Then, add an ORCID ID, Scopus ID, or researcher ID for each author.

Corresponding author
Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of peer-review and publication, as well as post-publication. This responsibility includes answering any future questions about the Methodology and Materials. Make sure that the email address is provided and the contact details are kept up to date by the corresponding author.

Abstract & Keywords

Abstract written in English with a minimum-maximum of 200-250 words, must contain: 1) Purpose (With simple words tell about the purpose of the research. There was no discussion, no story, only the purpose of the research); 2) Research methods (research design, data collection methods, data analysis methods); 3) Findings (Write only the main results and discussion in a few words. There is no discussion or explanation); 4) Implications (Write down the implications/meaning of the research results in a few words).

Keywords - Words written in lowercase except for abbreviations, in 3-5 words separated with semicolons. Use words or phrases that precisely describe the article's contents, consider the ease of keywords when searching in search engines (for example, searches using Google), and don't use unusual abbreviations.

Main text (IMRaD)

Introduction

The introduction of a scientific article provides context and background to the topic under study. In this section, the author introduces the problem or phenomenon to be discussed and relates it to the broader field of science. By including a brief literature review, the author points out relevant previous studies and highlights gaps in existing knowledge.

After explaining the background, the author states explicitly the research objectives or hypotheses to be tested. The study is designed to fill a previously identified knowledge gap, answer an unanswered research question, or test a particular relationship between variables. In this section, the reader is also given an idea of the author's expectations of the research results.

Finally, the introduction often includes an explanation of the research's importance and potential impact, both in terms of expanding knowledge and real-world applications. While a detailed discussion of the study's limitations is usually included elsewhere, the introduction can give an initial idea of the study's scope and limitations.

Method
The methods section of a scientific article provides a detailed description of how the study was conducted, ensuring transparency and replicability. It typically covers the study design, explaining the overall research approach; the participants or sample, including how they were selected and any ethical considerations; the materials and instruments used, such as equipment, surveys, or software; the procedure followed, outlining the exact steps taken; and the data collection methods, describing how observations or measurements were made. Additionally, it explains how data were analyzed, specifying statistical or qualitative techniques, and may touch on any limitations of the methodology. Ethical approval and protocols are also discussed where applicable.

Result and discussion

The results section of a scientific article presents the study's findings clearly and objectively without interpretation. It includes raw data, often using tables, graphs, or figures, and is organized around the research questions or hypotheses. Quantitative results are typically accompanied by statistical outputs such as p-values or confidence intervals, while qualitative data might be presented as thematic analysis. The key is that this section remains neutral, offering the data without discussing its meaning or implications.

In contrast, the discussion section interprets the results, explaining their significance and relevance to the broader field. It compares the findings with previous studies, addresses any unexpected outcomes, and explores the research's theoretical and practical implications. The discussion also acknowledges the study's limitations and suggests areas for future research. Ultimately, this section contextualizes the results, highlighting their importance and contribution to advancing knowledge in the field.

Conclusion

The conclusion of a scientific article provides a concise summary of the key findings, linking them back to the original research objectives or hypotheses. It highlights the significance of the results, both in advancing scientific understanding and in practical applications, while also acknowledging any limitations of the study. The conclusion may suggest directions for future research, offering insights into unresolved questions or areas for further exploration. Finally, it closes with a solid takeaway message that emphasizes the main contribution of the research. 

Acknowledgment
This section contains a statement of funding sources for the research work. This section also contains gratitude to those who contributed to the research and preparation of the manuscripts (in an academic context).

References
This section lists all the references cited in the text.

Write a bibliography using the following conditions;

  1. Use a minimum primary reference ratio of 80% of scientific articles of at least 25 pieces with a degree of sophistication in the last 10 years.
  2. Use citation software in citing the referenced source (e.g. Mendeley or Zotero).
  3. The bibliography system in Mudra journal uses IEEE style. Link: https://journals.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/IEEE_Reference_Guide.pdf

Presenting a Figure/ Illustration
The figure is worth a thousand words. Therefore, in addition to the table, figures are the most efficient way to present the results of research. Figures must be presented with high quality/sharpness. The use of graphics/curve fitting software and its analysis is highly recommended for making graphics that can be displayed with good quality and clarity.  

Figure captions
Ensure that each figure has a caption. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used.

Permissions
If you include figures that have already been published elsewhere, you must obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format. In such cases, material from other sources should be used.

Tables

References
Citation in text
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list but may be mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the reference list they should follow the standard reference style of the journal and should include a substitution of the publication date with either 'Unpublished results' or 'Personal communication'. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication.

Web references
As a minimum, the full URL should be given and the date when the reference was last accessed. Any further information, if known (DOI, author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list.

References style
Mudra Jurnal Seni Budaya using IEEE style. Citation and reference systems must use the Reference Management System such as Mendeley, EndNote, Zotero.

Language (usage and editing services)
