questionnaires and interviews. Then, in the abstract, there was a brief explanation about the
findings of the study. This is in line with what the Content Selection and Advisory Board of

The researchers listed down the different terms used to refer to digital literacy. This will
not get the reader confused when all the different terms is used in the literature review.
The reader will understand and be aware of all the different terms. In addition, the
researchers also explained what is meant by digital native and digital immigrant. The
researchers clearly explained the terms which were used in the main title of the article. I
think this is a good introduction where the researchers gives the clear definition for the
meaning of words used rather than making the reader to make their own assumption
based on their own understanding.

their statement and show the actual growth of internet in Indonesia. This is another
criteria required by the Scopus where the latest publication should be used as a reference
for the content to be relevant when it is being published. One important point to notice in
this introduction part is where almost 80% of the citation and past studies mentioned were
from the year 2000 onwards. The researchers had used the latest research and findings to
make their work more relevant to the time of the study being conducted. The researchers
talked about the importance of teachers using ICT in their teaching. After that, the
researchers talked about six different studies done in the past before mentioning about the
aim of their own study. The researchers wrote their literature review in a certain sequence
which enables the reader to understand the issues, gaps and the need for the study to be
carried out.

enjoyed learning through videos and media presented by their teachers as they use
Internet regularly in the daily life. The researchers also cited past studies which gave the
