Submissions

1. Title. The title should be short, clear, and informative, but does not exceed 20 words. It has to be pinpoint with the issues discussed. The article title does not contain any uncommon abbreviations. The main ideas should be written first and followed by its explanations.
2. Author's names and institutions. The author's names should be accompanied by the author's institutions, institutions address, and email addresses, without any academic titles and job title.
3. Abstract. Abstracts is written in a single paragraph of about 250 words maximum. The abstract should be written clearly and concisely, covering five key components. First, state the purpose of the study by briefly explaining its main objective and why the research is important to conduct. Second, describe the methodology, including the type of research (qualitative or quantitative), data collection techniques, and methods of data analysis—without going into excessive technical detail. Third, present the main findings, focusing on the most significant or interesting results that are relevant to the field. Fourth, explain the implications of the research by highlighting how the findings contribute to theory, policy, or practice, and how they may be applied in real-world contexts. Finally, emphasize the originality and value of the study by stating what makes it unique compared to prior research and how it adds meaningful contribution to the field.
4. Keywords. List three to five pertinent keywords specific to the article; yet reasonably common within the subject discipline; use lower case except for names
5. Introduction. Introduction should be structured into four key components presented in separate paragraphs: (1) Social Facts: Begin by describing a relevant societal phenomenon—cultural, religious, political, or economic—that has significant impact and deserves academic or practical attention. Support this with credible data or statistics. (2) Literature Review: Summarize previous studies grouped into at least three thematic categories, then identify their limitations or gaps that your research seeks to address. (3) Research Objectives: Clearly state the aim of your study, especially how it intends to fill the identified gaps and offer new contributions. (4) Argument/Hypothesis: Present your preliminary argument or hypothesis as a tentative answer to the research problem, ensuring it is grounded in existing literature and aligned with your objectives.
6. Method. Research Method should consist of five core components explained in separate paragraphs. First, Unit of Analysis: clearly state what or who is being studied—whether individuals, groups, institutions, events, or artifacts. Second, Research Design: explain why you chose a particular methodological approach (qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method), including the rationale for selecting this design. Third, Sources of Data: describe the sources of information used, such as respondents, informants, texts, secondary data, or audiovisual materials. Fourth, Data Collection Techniques: detail how the data were gathered, whether through interviews, observations, surveys, FGDs, or other instruments like interview guides or questionnaires. Fifth, Data Analysis: outline how the collected data were processed and analyzed, specifying the method used—such as thematic, statistical, or narrative analysis—depending on your research approach.
7. Results. The Results section presents and analyzes research findings in direct alignment with the objectives stated in the Introduction. Authors should begin by providing a clear and comprehensive description of the data, which may include field observations, informant narratives, contextual descriptions of the research site, or other relevant materials. This helps readers understand the setting and background of the findings. Following the data description, the author is expected to offer deeper analysis and interpretation by uncovering the significance and patterns found within the data. The section should be organized into three subsections (e.g., 3.1, 3.2, 3.3), each addressing a specific research objective. Within each subsection, authors must present the core data, whether derived from interviews, texts, observations, or other sources. To enhance clarity, data visualization—such as interview excerpts, tables, charts, or images—should be included where appropriate. Authors should then provide a restatement of the data in simpler, narrative form to improve readability. This is followed by a description of 3–4 observable patterns or trends that emerge from the data, serving as a preliminary analytical summary. Finally, the interpretation should offer insight into the meaning and implications of the findings, explaining how they deepen understanding of the phenomenon studied and how they relate to or challenge existing knowledge. Each subsection must function as a focused and self-contained unit that demonstrates the connection between data and the overall research goals.

Discussion: This section provides an in-depth analysis of the research findings by explaining, interpreting, and situating them within the broader academic discourse. Begin with a summary of key findings, highlighting the main results without repeating excessive detail from the Results section. Then proceed to an explanation of the findings by addressing the “why” behind the results—clarifying relationships between variables or concepts and identifying possible causes or underlying mechanisms. Next, engage in a comparison with previous studies, pointing out similarities, differences, and what new contributions (novelty) your research offers in relation to existing literature. After comparison, offer a broader interpretation of the findings, discussing their potential social, historical, or ideological meanings and how they contribute to a deeper understanding of the topic. This is followed by a reflection on both the positive and negative implications of your findings—exploring their functions and possible dysfunctions. Finally, outline practical implications in the form of action plans or policy recommendations that could address the issues revealed by your research. These steps ensure that the Discussion not only situates your findings within academic debates but also connects them to real-world concerns and solutions.

8. Conclusions. The conclusion should succinctly summarize the core insights of the study, highlight its academic contributions, and acknowledge its limitations. Begin by restating the main findings, emphasizing the key lessons or significant results that emerged from the research and how they enrich the reader’s understanding of the topic. Then, describe the scientific contribution of the study—whether through new data, conceptual frameworks, variables, or innovative approaches—that adds value to existing knowledge in the field. Finally, offer a reflection on the study’s limitations, noting any constraints encountered during the research and what aspects could not be addressed. Conclude by suggesting directions for future research that could expand or deepen the findings presented.

9. Acknowledgments. In this section, you can acknowledge any support given, which is not covered by the author's contribution or funding sections. This may include administrative and technical support, or donations in kind (e.g., materials used for experiments).

10. Conflicts of Interest. Declare conflicts of interest or state. The authors declare no conflict of interest. Authors must identify and declare any personal circumstances or interests that may be perceived as inappropriately influencing the representation or interpretation of reported research results.

11. References. The literature listed in the References contains only the sources referenced or included in the article. We recommend preparing the references with a bibliography software package, such as Mendeley to avoid typing mistakes and duplicated references. Referral sources should provide 80% of journal articles, proceedings, or research results from the last five years. Writing techniques bibliography, using the system cites APA (American Psychological Association) Style and the 7th edition.
