Submissions

Author Guidelines

Language

Manuscripts may be written in English, Bahasa Indonesia, or Bahasa Malaysia. However, all submissions must include the title, abstract (150–250 words), and keywords (3–6 terms) in both English and one of the selected local languages.

Article Types & Length

• Full Research Articles: maximum 6,000 words (including references, footnotes, and appendices)

• Commentaries, Field Reports or Reflections: maximum 3000 words

Formatting and Style

• Use a clear and readable font (e.g., Times New Roman, 12 pt)

• Double-spaced, with standard margins (1 inch / 2.54 cm)

• Submissions must follow the APA 7th Edition citation style

• All citations and references must be complete and properly formatted

Submission Process

• Manuscripts must be submitted through the journal’s online submission system

• Authors are encouraged to ensure that their manuscript is anonymized for peer review (i.e., remove author names and affiliations in the manuscript file)

Revision Guideline

Authors receiving a revision decision (Minor Revision or Major Revision) must submit:

1. A revised manuscript with all changes clearly highlighted; and
2. A completed Revision Response Form detailing:
   • Reviewer comments;
   • Author responses; and
   • Page number(s) where revisions have been made.

To preserve the integrity of the double-blind review process, authors must remove all identifying information from both the revised manuscript and the Revision Response Form. The completed form will assist editors and reviewers in evaluating the revised submission efficiently.

Additional Notes

• The editorial team may request revisions for language, formatting, or clarity

• Authors are responsible for ensuring the originality of their work and avoiding plagiarism
