Author Guidelines

Jurnal Pendidik Indonesia (JPI) accepts manuscripts that fit its Focus and Scope. Authors should read these requirements and use the article template before submitting through the journal's online system.

1. Before Submission

  • The work is original, has not been published previously, and is not under consideration by another journal. Disclose a related preprint, thesis, conference version, or overlapping work to the editor.
  • The manuscript fits JPI's educational scope and one of its stated manuscript types.
  • Submit an editable Word, OpenOffice, or RTF file; DOCX is recommended. Use the journal template, 12-point Times New Roman, 1.15 line spacing, and place tables and figures near their first mention.
  • Check citations, permissions, and originality. JPI's published Plagiarism Policy states a maximum similarity index of 25%; the editor also examines the nature of any overlap.
  • Provide complete author names without academic titles, affiliations, and a corresponding author's email. Ensure all authors agree to the submission and provide the four required declaration statements.

2. Language and Manuscript Structure

Articles may be written in Indonesian or English. Provide both Indonesian and English abstracts of 125–200 words each, without citations, summarising the objective, method, main findings, and conclusion. Provide relevant keywords in both languages. Keep the title informative and within 15 words; avoid unexplained abbreviations.

An original research article normally follows this order: title; authors, affiliations and email; abstracts and keywords; introduction; research methods; results and discussion; conclusion and suggestions; acknowledgements when applicable; and references. The introduction should identify the educational problem, relevant prior work, gap, and objective. The methods should describe the design, participants or data sources, instruments, procedures, and analysis sufficiently for evaluation. Present findings and interpretation clearly and relate conclusions to the stated objectives.

For a review, conceptual article, or book review, use the structure appropriate to that manuscript type and explain its scholarly contribution. If the template does not cover a proposed category, contact the editor before submission.

3. Citations and References

Use APA style consistently and list only sources cited in the manuscript. Include at least 12 references, prioritising primary research sources, with at least five international sources. Prefer relevant recent work from the past ten years, while retaining older foundational sources when necessary. Give a DOI link or stable URL where available. A reference manager such as Mendeley or Zotero can help maintain consistency.

4. Submission and Editorial Process

Submit through Online Submission. The editor checks completeness and scope, then arranges peer review for manuscripts that proceed. Authors respond to reviewer comments and upload revised files through the OJS workflow. The editor communicates the decision through the journal system; a request for revision does not guarantee acceptance. See the Peer Review Process and Article Processing Charge for the current policies.

Authors remain responsible for the accuracy of their manuscript, declarations, citations, and permissions for third-party material.
