Author Guidelines

Double-Anonymised Peer Review

This journal follows a double-anonymised review process, which means author identities are concealed from reviewers and vice versa. To facilitate the double-anonymised review process, we ask that you provide your title page (including author details) and anonymised manuscript (excluding author details) separately in your submission.

Authors are invited to make a submission to this journal. All submissions will be assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of this journal. Those considered to be a good fit will be sent for peer review before determining whether they will be accepted or rejected.

Before making a submission, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included with the submission, such as photos, documents and datasets. All authors identified on the submission must consent to be identified as an author. Where appropriate, research should be approved by an appropriate ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the study's country.

An editor may desk reject a submission if it does not meet minimum standards of quality. Before submitting, please ensure that the study design and research argument are structured and articulated properly. The title should be concise and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper. When you're satisfied that your submission meets this standard, please follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.

Submission Preparation Checklist

Article Format

Article files should be provided in Microsoft Word format. While you are welcome to submit a PDF of the document alongside the Word file, PDFs alone are not acceptable. Manuscripts must be typed in Microsoft Word file format (DOC) using Calibri font, where the title of the manuscript must be 14-point, the authors’ names 12-point, and body text double-spaced in 12-point font on A4-size paper, leaving the margins of 1 inch on all sides in a single column.

Article Length

Articles should preferably be between 6000 and 8000 words in length. This includes all text, including references and appendices.

Title of the Article

Article titles should be concise and informative. Please avoid abbreviations and formulae, where possible, unless they are established and widely understood, e.g., AI. A title of not more than 20 words should be provided.

Article Title Page

The title page of the manuscript should contain the following: The second page will also include the title of the paper. The title page should include:

  • Article title
  • Author name(s)
  • Affiliation(s)
  • JEL Classification
  • ORCID (if any)
  • Acknowledgements (if any)
  • Declaration of Interest statement
  • Corresponding author address (full address is required with email address)

Structured Abstract

Author(s) must include a structured abstract in their submission, set out under the following sub-headings:

  • Research problem/purpose
  • Design/methodology/approach
  • Findings
  • Originality/value
  • Practical implications
  • Research limitations

The structured abstract should be 250 words (including keywords and JEL Classification). Authors should avoid the use of personal pronouns within the structured abstract and body of the paper (e.g., “This paper examines…” is acceptable; “I analyse…” is unsuitable). No citation should be made to other published work.

Keywords

Please provide up to six keywords for indexing purposes. Please try to avoid keywords consisting of multiple words (using "and" or "of").

 

Main Text

As papers are double-blind, peer-reviewed, the main text file should not include any information that might identify the authors. The journal language is English. Authors may submit using either British or American English, as the spelling of accepted papers is converted during the production process.

The main body of the article should, at least, contain the following parts:

  • Introduction
  • Literature review followed by hypothesis development
  • Research design
  • Analysis/Findings/Results
  • Implication of the Research
  • Conclusion

Tables

Tables should be self-contained and complement, but not duplicate, information contained in the text. They should be supplied as editable files (not pasted as images), placed after the references in the main text file. Number tables consecutively according to their appearance in the text. Please provide captions along with the tables. Place any table notes below the table body. All abbreviations must be defined in footnotes. Footnote symbols: †, ‡, §, ¶, should be used (in that order) and *, **, *** should be reserved for P-values. Statistical measures such as SD or SEM should be identified in the headings. Naming convention for tables should be: Table 1: Title of the table, Table 2: Title of the table and the like. APA style tables are preferred (7th Edition).

Figures, Images and Artwork

When submitting figures, images, diagrams and other graphical media, cite all images in the manuscript text. Number the images according to the sequence they appear within your article. Naming convention for figures should be: Figure 1: Title of the figure, Figure 2: Title of the figure and the like. Please provide captions for all figures, images, and diagrams.

Math Formulae

Submit math equations as editable text, not as images. Present simple formulae in line with standard text, where possible. Use the solidus (/) instead of a horizontal line for small fractional terms such as X/Y.

Referencing

Follow APA 7th edition for both in-text citation and references. For more information on referencing, please follow https://lib.ugm.ac.id/en/apa-referencing-style-updated-to-7th-edition/
