Reporting Guidelines

Policy

Jurnal Pendidikan Teknologi dan Kejuruan (JPTK) asks authors to report their research clearly and completely, and encourages the use of the reporting guideline that fits the study design, where one exists.

Reporting guidelines

Authors are encouraged to follow a recognised guideline and to state which one they used in the Method section. Examples include:

Randomised or controlled studies	CONSORT
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses	PRISMA
Qualitative interviews and focus groups	COREQ
Qualitative research in general	SRQR
Observational studies	STROBE

If no guideline fits, describe the design and the steps in enough detail for a reader to understand and assess the work. Research and development studies should describe each stage, the validation, and the testing of the product.

Registration

Where a study design is normally registered, such as a trial or a systematic review, authors should give the registration number and the name of the registry. If such a study was not registered, the authors should say so.

Checks

The editors and reviewers may ask authors to complete a checklist or to add missing information. Selective or misleading reporting is a matter of publication ethics. See Publication Ethics and Research Data and Reproducibility.
