1. Manuscript format. Manuscripts must be submitted in Microsoft Word (.docx) format through the journal's online submission system. Use A4 paper, Times New Roman 10 pt, single-line spacing, and margins of 2.5 cm (top and left) and 2 cm (bottom and right). Original research articles should be 7–12 pages. Review/survey articles may be up to 16 pages.
2. Language and article structure. Manuscripts must be written in Bahasa Indonesia for submission and peer review and translated into English after the publication decision, in accordance with the journal's policy. The main sections should follow the IMRaD structure: Introduction, Method, Results and Discussion, and Conclusion, preceded by the title, authors' information, abstract, and keywords, and followed by References and, if applicable, Acknowledgements.
3. Title. The title should be concise, informative, and accurately reflect the article's content. It should not exceed 12 words, be centered and bold, and use a 16 pt font. Avoid unnecessary abbreviations, formulas, and redundant introductory expressions.
4. Authors and affiliations. List authors' names without academic titles directly below the article title (10 pt), followed by their departments/faculties, institutions, cities, and countries (8 pt). Identify the corresponding author and provide their email address. The editorial office ordinarily contacts the first author; if a different corresponding author is designated, make this explicit during submission.
5. Abstract and keywords. Provide an abstract in English of 100–200 words. The abstract should stand alone and briefly state the research problem or context, purpose, method, main findings, and conclusions. Avoid citations and undefined abbreviations. Supply 5–7 specific keywords in English, preferably using terms that support indexing and are not merely repetitions of the title.
6. Introduction (15–20% of the manuscript). Present the research context and background, identify the problem, synthesize relevant previous studies, explain the research gap and novelty, and state the research aim or questions. The introduction should establish why the study is necessary and what it adds to educational management knowledge or practice. As a general guide, organize this section into 3–6 coherent paragraphs, adjusted where necessary for clarity. Cite sources using IEEE numbered references, such as [1] and [2].
7. Method (10–15% of the manuscript). Describe the research design and setting; participants, population/sample, or data sources; sampling or selection procedures when applicable; data collection methods and instruments; research procedures; and data analysis techniques. Explain validity, reliability, trustworthiness, and ethical considerations where relevant to the design. Provide sufficient methodological detail to allow readers to assess the rigor of the research. Algorithms or pseudocode are needed only when they are relevant to the study.
8. Results and Discussion (40–60% of the manuscript). Present the principal findings clearly and in an order that addresses the research aims or questions. Tables, figures, and graphs may be used to support the results, but should not merely duplicate the text. Interpret the findings, compare them with relevant literature, explain agreements or differences, and highlight theoretical or practical implications for educational management. This section may be divided into appropriately titled subsections.
9. Tables, figures, and equations. Number tables and figures consecutively, provide concise descriptive captions, and refer to each one in the manuscript. Present them clearly and center them where appropriate, consistent with the journal template. Equations, when used, should be numbered consecutively; define all symbols at first use.
10. Conclusion. State the conclusions in direct relation to the research objectives and findings. Emphasize the study's principal contribution and, where supported by the findings, practical or policy implications and recommendations for further research. Avoid introducing new evidence or merely repeating the abstract.
11. Acknowledgements (if applicable). Acknowledge funding agencies, grant support, and non-author contributors where appropriate. Identify financial support accurately.
12. Similarity and AI-generated content. The Turnitin/similarity index must be below 25%, and the AI Writing/AI-generated content score must also be below 25%, as stated in the journal's submission policy. Authors remain responsible for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of their manuscripts.
13. Reference requirements. Include only sources cited in the manuscript and prioritize relevant, authoritative primary sources such as journal articles, conference proceedings, and research reports. At least 80% of the references should be publications from the preceding five years, as required by the journal's submission policy. The minimum number of references is 25 for original research articles and 50 for review/survey articles.
14. Citation and reference style. Use IEEE numbered citations in square brackets (e.g., [1], [2], [3]–[5]) and list references in citation order using IEEE style and 8 pt font, as shown in the Word template. Authors are encouraged to use reference management software such as Mendeley, Zotero, or EndNote. See the IEEE author resources for additional formatting guidance.
