• Read the publication policies. Authors should understand the requirements for Publication Ethics, Authorship, Conflict of Interest, and Generative AI.
• Check manuscript originality. Submitted work must comply with the journal's plagiarism and research integrity policies.

02. General Manuscript Requirements

03. Title, Authors, Abstract, and Keywords

Title

• Maximum 12 words.
• Centered, bold, and 16 pt font.
• Concise, informative, and representative of the manuscript.
• Avoid unnecessary abbreviations and redundant expressions.

Authors and Affiliations

• List author names without academic titles (10 pt).
• Include departments/faculties, institutions, cities, and countries (8 pt).
• Identify the corresponding author and provide an email address.
• Clearly identify the corresponding author in the submission metadata.

Abstract

• Written in English.
• Between 100 and 200 words.

• Avoid citations and undefined abbreviations.

Keywords

• Provide 5–7 keywords in English.
• Use specific terms relevant to the manuscript and scholarly indexing.
• Avoid simply repeating words from the article title.

04. Structure of the Manuscript

Original research articles should follow the IMRaD structure: Introduction, Method, Results and Discussion, and Conclusion.

4.1 Introduction (15–20%)

The Introduction should:

• Describe the research background and context.
• Identify the educational management problem being addressed.
• Synthesize relevant previous studies.
• Establish the research gap and novelty.
• State the research objectives or research questions.

As a general guide, the Introduction may contain 3–6 coherent paragraphs. Citations must follow IEEE style.

4.2 Method (10–15%)

The Method section should explain:

• Research design and setting.
• Participants, population/sample, or data sources.
• Sampling or selection procedures, where applicable.
• Data collection methods and research instruments.
• Research procedures and data analysis techniques.
• Validity, reliability, trustworthiness, and ethical considerations as appropriate.

Methodological information should be sufficient to assess the rigor and transparency of the research. Algorithms or pseudocode are required only when relevant.

4.3 Results and Discussion (40–60%)

• Present findings in a clear and logical sequence.
• Organize results according to research objectives or questions.
• Use tables, figures, or graphs where appropriate.
• Interpret findings rather than merely restating the results.
• Compare findings with relevant previous studies.
• Discuss theoretical and practical implications for educational management.

4.4 Conclusion

• Directly address the research objectives.
• Summarize the principal conclusions.
• Highlight the manuscript's contribution.
• Provide implications and recommendations where supported by findings.
• Avoid introducing new evidence.

4.5 Acknowledgements (If Applicable)

Authors may acknowledge research funding, grants, institutional support, and individuals who contributed to the research but do not qualify for authorship.

05. Tables, Figures, and Equations

• Number tables and figures consecutively.
• Provide concise and descriptive captions.
• Refer to each table and figure within the manuscript text.
• Ensure tables, figures, and graphs are clear and readable.
• Follow the formatting requirements in the official manuscript template.
• Number equations consecutively when used and define their symbols.

06. Originality, Similarity, and Generative AI

Submitted manuscripts must meet the journal's academic integrity and originality requirements.

Similarity Index	Below 25%
AI Writing	Should be stated for what case

Authors remain responsible for the originality, accuracy, integrity, and appropriate attribution of all manuscript content.

For additional information, see the Plagiarism Policy and Generative AI Policy .

07. Citations and References

JuMP uses the IEEE referencing style, with numbered citations in square brackets.

• Use citations such as [1], [2], and [3]–[5].
• Arrange references in the order of their first citation.
• Use 8 pt font for the reference list.
• Include only sources cited in the manuscript.
• Prioritize relevant and authoritative primary sources.
• At least 80% of references should have been published within the preceding five years.

Manuscript Type	Minimum References
Original Research Article	25
Review/Survey Article	50, subject to manuscript-type policy

Authors are encouraged to use reference management software such as Mendeley, Zotero, or EndNote.
