Author Guidelines
Every manuscript submitted for publication in Jurnal Eduscience (JES) will be checked for plagiarism using Turnitin software. If the editors or peer reviewers detect plagiarism, the author(s) will be informed and requested to rewrite the text or provide any necessary citations. The manuscript will not be eligible for review and publication if the Turnitin report results are more than 25% of the similarity index and 10% of AI generated.
If you have any questions, please contact the editorial assistant at: eduscience@ulb.ac.id
AUTHOR GUIDELINES
Authors must strictly follow the submission guidelines of the journal. Submissions that do not adhere to the guidelines provided will be REJECTED. Please submit your article through the online submission of this journal by registering an account and login to the system.
Jurnal Eduscience (JES) only publishes articles written in English. British or American spelling is acceptable but must be consistent throughout. All non-English words in the manuscript must be italicized. We recommend professional proofreading for non-native speaker authors.
Article Structure in General:
All articles must be written in English and should have an abstract between 200 to 300 words in length, followed by three to five keywords related to your article. Submissions should be 5000-10.000 (including abstract, table(s), figure(s) and references) in A4-sized paper with margins as follows: top 2,5 cm, bottom 2 cm, right 2 cm and left 2 cm.
Title: the title should summarize the main idea or ideas of your paper; the title should be within 15 words maximum.
Author detail: include names of authors and their affiliation. Email is required for the corresponding author only. Jurnal Eduscience (JES) requires that authorship be based on the following four criteria:
- Substantial contributions to the idea or method of the research; or the collection, analysis, or interpretation of data for the research; AND
- Drafting the paper or revising it for important intellectual content; AND
- Final approval of the version to be submitted and published; AND
- Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the article (and research) in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.
Contributors who do not meet all 4 criteria for authorship above should be listed in acknowledgement, not as authors. Therefore, contributors doing acquisition of funding; general supervision of a research group or general administrative support; and writing assistance, technical editing, language editing, and proofreading do not qualify for authorship. To prevent misconduct in authorship, Jurnal Eduscience (JES) only allows a maximum of seven authors. Each author’s contribution to the article must be stated in the cover letter to be uploaded as a supplementary file into the OJS during article submission. We require that all co-authors be added to the metadata in the third step of article submission. Otherwise, they will not be included in the article when it is published.
Main Manuscript
Abstract: concisely describe the content and scope of your paper and identify the purpose, methodology, findings, and and contribution.
Keywords: The words should capture the essence of your paper. Include the most relevant keywords that will help other authors find your paper. These words must be presented in alphabetical order and separated by commas.
Introduction: state your work’s objectives and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Explicitly state the literature gap, which signifies your research’s significance.
When paraphrasing a source that is not your own, be sure to represent the author’s information or opinions accurately and in your own words. Even when paraphrasing an author’s work, you still must provide a citation to that work. When directly quoting an author’s work, provide citation marks from the beginning to the end of the citation. The page number must be noted beside the author’s name and year of publication.
Methodology: provide sufficient detail to allow your work to be reproduced. This includes research design, participants, location (if necessary), instrument(s), the technique of data collection, and the technique of data analysis. A reference should indicate methods already published; only relevant modifications should be described.
Findings: present the results of your work. Use graphs and tables if appropriate, and summarize your main findings in the text. Do NOT discuss the results or speculate as to why something happened; that goes in the Discussion.
Discussion: highlight the most significant results, but do not repeat what has been written in the Results section. The purpose of the discussion is to interpret and describe the significance of your findings in light of what was already known about the research problem being investigated and to explain any new understanding or insights that emerged as a result of your study of the problem. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate.
Conclusion: provide the final words on the value of your analysis, research, or article. Limitations of your study should be addressed. Recommendations for future research related to your topic should also be mentioned.
Acknowledgments (optional): give credit to funding bodies and departments that have been of help during the project, for instance, by supporting it financially.
References: follow the APA 7th style.
All names/references mentioned in the text/article should be listed in the References section. Names not mentioned in the text/article should be removed from the References section.
Appendices (optional): if there is more than one appendix, they should be identified as Appendix A, Appendix B, etc. Formulae and equations in appendices should be given separate numbering: Eq. (A.1), Eq. (A.2), etc.; in a subsequent appendix, Eq. (B.1), and so on. Similarly, for tables and figures: Table A.1; Fig. A.1, etc.

Article Selection and Publication Process
1) Upon receipt of article submission, the journal's system sends an email of confirmation to the corresponding author. If you fail to receive this confirmation, your submission/email may be missed. The author should pay no submission charge at this stage.
2) Initial screening. Submitted articles will first go through the initial screening process by the editors. Articles that pass this process will be sent to two reviewers, and those that do not pass the process will be archived/rejected. This process takes 3 weeks to 1 month.
3) Peer review. We use a double-blind system for peer review; both reviewers’ and authors’ identities remain anonymous. The article will be peer-reviewed by three reviewers. The review process may take 1–4 months.
4) Notification of the result of review is by e-mail.
5) The authors revise the paper according to the feedback and suggestions by reviewers. Upon acceptance, a publication fee is to be paid by the author to the journal.
6) After publication, the corresponding author will receive an email notification on the e-journal in PDF that is available on the journal’s webpage and free of charge for download.
7) It normally takes about 2-6 months from submission to publication.
Notification of Archival Status for Your Submission
Your submission has been moved to the archive, although no confirmation email was received.
We occasionally experience issues with our email client, which may prevent the journal system from sending notifications to authors. If the status of your submission has changed from Active to Archived, it indicates that an initial review by the Editorial Board has been completed, and unfortunately, your manuscript has been rejected for not meeting one or more of our requirements:
- Non-compliance with author guidelines or a high similarity index (over 20%).
- Lack of scientific merit or insufficient contribution to research.
- Incompatibility with the journal’s scope and readership.
- Insufficient diversity in authorship or research area.
- Content issues, such as language errors, inadequate introduction, lack of a research gap or research questions, unclear aims, a literature review that does not thoroughly explore the topic, unsound methodology, poorly addressed results, lack of discussion, outdated references, or references not following APA 7th style.
- Significant AI-generated content (exceeding 10%).
- Prioritization of research articles; review articles are accepted by invitation only.
Due to the high volume of submissions, we are unable to provide additional details regarding this decision. We hope this outcome does not discourage you from submitting other relevant work to Jurnal Eduscience (JES). Please note that rejected manuscripts cannot be resubmitted to this journal, and any such attempts will be disregarded. We encourage you to consider submitting your work to another journal.
