2. Privacy Policy: The subject should be anonymized, apart from the main researcher, no other parties could make any connection between the research finding and the research subject. All the activity involving the individual should ask for permission and it should remain anonymous.
3. Coercion: the research subject should not be forced with any means to be involved in any study. Every individual has the right to reject participation in research.
4. Informed consent: every research dealing with human or animals, should have an individual informed consent
5. Confidentiality: any research finding related to the research subject should be kept confidential and only the main researcher/particular person who knows about it

In the scientific world, at least three types of an unethical act should be
1. Data fabrication: The research data or finding is made up and recorded and/or declared without any proof that the researcher has conducted the data collection. This is the benefits of having a thorough logbook for the researcher as the valid proof that she/he doesn't make any data fabrication
2.

The falsification also includes the manipulation of research material, instrument, and process.
3. Plagiarism: The idea or statement of other people used without acknowledging and admitting the sources.
C. Prevention and Countermeasures of Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the act both intentionally or unintentionally as an effort of a person to get or try to get a credit or value from scientific work, by citing some part or all part of other's scientific work which admitted as his/her scientific work, without stating the accurate and appropriate sources. The scope of plagiarism including:
a. Referring and/or citing the term, words and/or sentence, data and/or information from any sources without stating the sources in the citation notes and/or without acknowledging the sources appropriately;

3. The Prevention of Plagiarism
Some actions that can be done to prevent the plagiarism are as follows:
a. Every scientific work produced in the higher education level should enclose written acknowledgment on paper bearing a 6,000 IDR duty stamp signed by the writer that: (1) The scientific work is free of plagiarism, (2) If in the future it is proven that there is plagiarism in the scientific work, the writer is willing to accept sanctions following statutory provisions.

4. Countermeasures of Plagiarism
The steps taken in countermeasure the plagiarism are as follows:
a. If the student is expected to conduct any plagiarism, the Study Program Coordinator compares the student's work with the suspected work being plagiarised that stated by the students as the source.
b. Study Program Coordinator asks the colleague lecturer in the same field of interest to give written testimony to clarify the truth of plagiarism that being suspected conducted by the student.
c. The student who is suspected plagiarised granted a chance to explain the truth in front of the Study Program Coordinator.

4. The Proposal Format for Research and Development
Research and Development (R&D) for Education is a process used to develop and test the feasibility of Education products (Borg & Gall, 1989). The finding of research dan development is not only for developing an existing product but also for discovering new knowledge or for solving the practical problem. According to Sugiyone (2019), research and development methods (R&D) can be understood as the scientific method used for researching, designing, producing, and testing the feasibility of the product produced. Based on that understanding, the research and development activities can be shortened into 4P (Research, Design, Produce, and Test). To produce a certain product, the research method used needs analysis (using survey and qualitative method) and for testing the effectiveness of the product so it could be benefited for the wide community, thus this research is needed (using experimental research method).
The proposal format for research and development as follows:

B. Problem Identification C. Research Problem D. Research Objective E. Research Benefits
F. Expected Product Specification
CHAPTER II LITERATURE REVIEW A. Previous Related Studies

5. The Proposal Format for Mixed-Method Research
According to Sugiyono (2011, p.404), a mixed-method research method is a research method that combines the qualitative and quantitative methods and used both of them concurrently in research activity to obtain more comprehensive, valid, reliable, and objective data. Based on the explanation, mixed-method research is the research method using two methods that are quantitative and qualitative research used concurrently in research activity. To obtain more complete and comprehensive research.
This book will explain two types of mixed methods namely Sequential Explanatory and Sequential Exploratory.
1. Sequential Explanatory (Quantitative - Qualitative)
Sequential Explanatory Research Design is identified by the quantitative data collection and analysis conducted at the first phase, and followed by the qualitative data collection and analysis in the second phase, in order to strengthen the finding of quantitative research at the first phase (Sugiyono, 2011, p.409). In other words, this research method is implemented by collecting and analyzing quantitative data in the first phase, then conducting the collection and analysis of qualitative data
QUAN + QUAL
QUAL + QUAN
in the second phase, then analyze the entire data and take the conclusion from it.
2. Sequential Exploratory (qualitative-quantitative)
In Sequential Exploratory, for the first phase, the researcher collects as well as analyzes the qualitative data, then in the second phase, he/she collect the quantitative data based on the result of the first phase. This strategy will weigh heavily on qualitative data. This is the exploratory sequential design.
