Authors are expected to consider carefully the list and order of authors before submitting their manuscript and provide the definitive list of authors at the time of the original submission. Any addition, deletion or rearrangement of author names in the authorship list should be made only before the manuscript has been accepted and only if approved by the journal Editor. To request such a change, the Editor must receive the following from the corresponding author: (a) the reason for the change in author list and (b) written confirmation (e-mail, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of addition or removal of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed.


Only in exceptional circumstances will the Editor consider the addition, deletion or rearrangement of authors after the manuscript has been accepted. While the Editor considers the request, publication of the manuscript will be suspended. If the manuscript has already been published in an online issue, any requests approved by the Editor will result in a corrigendum.

Abstract and Keywords

The Abstract’s length is not more than 250 words. The abstract is written in one paragraph that contains the background, research objectives, concepts/theories, methods, results/findings, and conclusions/implications of the study. Abstract with 3-5 keywords, with a comma (,) and in alphabetical order.

Introduction

The Introduction consists of no more than four concise paragraphs. It should also contain background and research objectives that explain phenomena and research problems. It should also be related to previous studies, especially research gaps or limitations from previous studies. The author's hope to fill in research gap/limitations, or the author must briefly explain the purpose of writing at the end of the Introduction. The Introduction is in the form of a narrative and does not use numbering.

In the Introduction section, the author(s) should include a summary box called Applications for Practice that contains (a) the most important finding(s) for policymakers, and (b) recommendation(s) for policy formulation and implementation. It should be written in a clear and simple language and presented in bullet points. It should not use special terms commonly used in scientific papers. The word count should be between 50 and 100 words.

Literature Review

This section describes the theoretical basis used as the basis for analysis in research. This section also contains previous studies, research gaps or ummah, and debates and developments in the concepts or theories used. The literature used must be under the topic of the article being written. The author can provide a logical basis for developing research hypotheses or propositions and research models.

Research Methodology

The Research Methodology includes the type of research, research design, population and sample, data collection techniques and instruments, measurement and operational definition of variables, and data analysis procedures.

Results and Discussion

Results are research findings and should be clear and concise without opinions. This section contains the results of data analysis or statistical descriptions required. Authors using quantitative research methods are required to provide a descriptive statistical table.

The Discussion section is the author's interpretation of the research findings that can answer the limitations/research gaps of previous research and not repeat the research findings. The Discussion section includes how the research results related to the research objectives (what)? Do the authors provide a scientific interpretation of each finding presented (why)? Moreover, are the research results consistent or contradictory to the research results from other researchers (what else)? 

Conclusion

The Conclusion section is the answer to the research objectives. The conclusions include a summary of the research, the contribution/implications of the study, the limitations of the study, and as far as possible, suggest potential areas for further research.

References used must consist of at least 15 up to date references, and 80% of references used not more than the last ten years. There are at least five articles (and/or 50%) references from reputable international journals. Authors should not use online news sites, blogs and Wikipedia as references.

TABLE/ILLUSTRATION FORMAT

Each table/illustration must be referred to in the narrative in the article manuscript. Tables/charts contained in articles should be editable tables/charts. Every table/illustration must be seen/read clearly (not blurred or stretched). Uploaded image files must be editable, in [.jpg] or [.PNG] picture format, and with a minimum size of 700 x 700 pixels. Graphics/images are referred to as illustrations.

The decimal number in the table/charts is not more than three decimal digits with the smallest letter size 8. Each letter in the table should be written in black colour only. The tables/charts are colourless (only black/white). The title of the table/illustration is centred and numbered using Arabic numerals. The title of the table/illustration should not be bolded. Between the title and the table/illustration are spaced one line apart. Only horizontal lines are used in tables to distinguish column headings from the body of the table and directly above and below the table. Tables/illustrations must be embedded in the body of the manuscript and are not provided separately (except tables/illustrations that are more than one page in size can be put in the Appendix).

Tables should not be in the images form to facilitate editing. Each table/illustration is inserted into a "text box" so that it can be easily moved, and placed at the top or bottom of the page. If the table/illustration size takes up two or more columns, it should be placed on the next page.

The way of numbering tables/illustrations in the body of the manuscript is different from the tables/illustrations in the Appendix. For tables/illustrations in the manuscript's body, they are numbered according to the order in which the tables/illustrations exist. Tables/illustrations in the Appendix should be numbered according to the order in which the table/illustration is attached. An example of writing the title and how to number the table/illustration is as follows:

Example of tables/illustrations in the body of the manuscript:

Table 1. Gross Domestic Product 2010-2013

Based on the prevailing price

Table 2. Number of poor people per zone

(in millions)

Chart 1. Respondent distribution data

Chart 2. Indonesian unemployment statistics, 2012-2013

Illustration 1. Covid-19 zone distribution map
