Submissions

Author Guidelines

The writing system follows the American Psychological Association (APA) 6th and notes the following guidelines:
1. Type of Paper
Research Article: Articles that report novel empirical findings or theoretical developments
2. Manuscript Submission
Manuscript Type: Submission of a manuscript implies that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
Permission: Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
3. Title Page
The title page should include:
The name(s) of the author(s)
A concise and informative title
The affiliation(s) and address(es) of the author(s)
The e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding author
4. Abstract
Please provide an abstract of 150 to 250 words summarizing the content of the paper, including hypothesis, research subject, methodology, and result. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references
5. Keyword
Keywords are specific words included in the research taken from the research variable, characteristic of the research subject and referred theory (Please provide three keywords written in alphabetical order). The keywords are arranged based on the prominent word and the supporting word. Should the author use “keywords” for the English abstract and “Kata Kunci” for the Indonesian abstract?
6. Introduction
The introduction should contain a general background, state of the art, research gap, aims of the research and advantage of the research, and hypothesis.
7. Method
Methods contain variable identification, research subject, research instrument, research methodology and analysis technique being used in the research.
8. Result
The result of the research consists of descriptive statistics, assumption and hypothesis tests, which are critically analyzed afterwards.
9. Discussion
The discussion explains the result of the research in accordance with the prior study, critically analyzed with currently relevant literature. The discussion should be ended with a conclusion and recommendation.
10. Conclusion
The conclusion contains the answer to the research purpose, not summarizing all the research. This section should be written in a concise, solid and clear statement based on the result of the study with not more than 5% of the paper’s length.
11. Citation
Cite references in the text by name and year in parentheses. Some examples:
Negotiation research spans many disciplines (Thompson, 1990).
This effect has been widely studied (Abbott, 1991; Barakat et al., 1995; Kelso & Smith, 1998; Medvec et al., 1999).
12. Reference List
The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list. The last names of the first author of each work should alphabetize reference list entries.
