SPECIFIC GUIDE FOR AUTHORS

A. General Requirements

  1. Language & Format: Articles must be written in English or Indonesian. Manuscripts should be prepared using Microsoft Word, single-spaced, Arial 10 pt font, on A4 paper.

  2. Use of Template: Authors are strongly advised to prepare their manuscript using the JIPFRI Template to ensure compliance with formatting rules. You can download the template on the journal homepage. Manuscripts that deviate significantly from the template may be returned for correction.

  3. Length:  The manuscript should ideally be between 3,500 and 8,000 words, including figures, tables, and references. Manuscripts exceeding this limit may be considered if the length is justified by the complexity of the research or the depth of analysis.

  4. Literature Review: There is no separate section for the "Literature Review." Relevant theoretical backgrounds should be integrated into the Introduction or Results and Discussion sections.

  5. Foreign Terms: Non-English words (or non-Indonesian words in Indonesian manuscripts) must be written in italics.

B. Article Structure

Original Research Articles typically follow the standard IMRaD structure: (1) Title, (2) Author line, (3) Abstract, (4) Keywords, (5) Introduction, (6) Methods, (7) Results and Discussion, (8) Conclusion, (9) Acknowledgments, and (10) References.

Detailed Description of Each Section:

1. Title

  • Must be concise, informative, and no more than 15 words.

  • Avoid using abbreviations, detailed formulas, or specific research locations (unless essential).

  • Format: Arial 14 pt, single spacing.

2. Author Line

  • Consists of: Full name (without academic titles), affiliation, and email address.

  • Affiliation: Write the name of the institution in full (e.g., Physics Education Program, Universitas Nurul Huda).

  • Multiple Authors: If authors are from different institutions, use superscript numbers (e.g., Author Name 11, Author Name 22) to match affiliations.

  • Corresponding Author: Mark with an asterisk (*).

3. Abstract

  • A single paragraph of maximum 150 words.

  • Must explicitly state: Objective, Methods, Results, and Conclusion/Implication.

  • No citations or undefined abbreviations are allowed in the abstract.

4. Keywords

  • 3 to 7 words or phrases, separated by commas (,).

  • Choose terms that facilitate search engine optimization (SEO).

5. Introduction

  • Avoid using sub-headings in the introduction.

  • Must contain: Background of the study, gap analysis (state of the art), and research objectives.

  • Ideally comprises 10-15% of the total manuscript length.

6. Methods

  • Describe the materials, participants, experimental design, data collection techniques, and data analysis methods clearly so that the study can be replicated.

  • Avoid writing common statistical formulas; simply cite the method used.

  • For Qualitative Research: Adjust this section to describe the context, participants, and trustworthiness of the data.

7. Results and Discussion

  • Integrated: JIPFRI prefers the results and discussion to be combined, not separated.

  • Presentation: Use tables and figures effectively. Do not repeat data from tables in the text; instead, interpret the findings.

  • Analysis: Avoid simple statistical descriptions (e.g., "Table 1 shows an increase..."). Focus on why the results occurred and compare them with previous studies.

  • Graphics: Figure captions are placed below the figure; Table titles are placed above the table.

8. Conclusion

  • Answer the research objectives based on the findings. Do not repeat statistical numbers.

  • Write in a paragraph form (essay), not as a bulleted list.

9. Acknowledgments

  • Optional. Use this section to thank funding agencies (include grant numbers) or individuals who assisted in the research.

10. References

  • Primary Sources: At least 80% of references must come from primary sources (journals/proceedings) published in the last 10 years.

  • Quantity: Research articles should have a minimum of 15 references.

  • Style: Strictly follow APA Style 7th Edition.

  • Tools: Authors are required to use reference management software such as Mendeley, Zotero, or EndNote.
