Author Guideline

Here are the guidelines for writing the manuscripts:

  1. The articles must be original and have never been published or are being submitted to another journal. The articles should be about social sciences, politics, and humanities. The manuscripts should be 4,500-6,000 words or 8-15 pages long, single space using A-4 paper size.
  2. Authors’ names must be written without academic titles and listed below the article title, followed by their institutional affiliations and email addresses. For manuscripts with multiple authors, all authors’ names must be included, and one author must be designated as the corresponding author. The corresponding author is responsible for communicating with the editor throughout the submission, review, revision, and publication processes and does not have to be the first author. All editorial correspondence will be sent to the corresponding author using the email address provided.
  3. The articles should be written in Bahasa Indonesia or English correctly in the form of an essay. The title of the article should be capitalized and placed in the center. The subtitles should be aligned to the left without numbering.
  4. The manuscript must be systematically organized and include the following components: title, authors’ names, institutional affiliations and correspondence address (email address), an abstract of no more than 350 words presenting the research objective, methods, main findings, and conclusion, keywords, an introduction (including the research problem, scientific background, and literature review), research methods, results and discussion (supported by relevant theories or previous research findings), conclusion, acknowledgements (if applicable), and references. For more detailed information on the manuscript structure and formatting requirements, please refer to the following links: Indonesian / English.
  5. Referral sources should be up-to-date (the last ten years). Primary referral sources are preferable (research articles in scientific journals/magazines or research reports).
  6. Citation or reference information must be presented in parentheses using APA Style, for example: (Michael, 2000).
  7. The bibliography is listed according to APA style. If there are sources that can be accessed online, please include them in the reference list, such as DOI or website links. These sources must be hyperlinked in the reference list.

    An example is as follows

  8. Authors are required to submit a BibTeX file downloaded from the bibliography management application (if you use mendeley, you can see how to download it here).
