Author Guidelines

Every manuscript submitted for publication in IJDM will be checked for plagiarism using Turnitin software. If plagiarism is detected by the editors or peer reviewers, the author/s will be informed and requested to rewrite the text or provide any necessary citations. If the Turnitin report results in more than 20% of the similarity index, the manuscript will not be eligible for review and publication.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the editorial assistant at: ijdm@unsyiah.ac.id

All articles must be written in English, should have an abstract between 200 to 250 words in length, followed by three to five keywords related to your article. The total number of words of the entire article content should be within 3000-7000 words. We highly suggest that non-native authors proofread their articles before submission.

Title: the title should summarize the main idea or ideas of your paper; the title is within 14 words maximum.

Author detail: include name of authors and their affiliation. Email is required for corresponding author only.

To prevent misconduct in authorship, IJDM only allows a maximum of seven authors for one article starting 2022. The contribution of each author to the article must be stated in the cover letter, to be uploaded as a supplementary file into the OJS during article submission.

Abstract: For all types of paper, the abstract should give concise information about the content of the article such as and not limited to: Background: the problem and the purpose addressed in the study; Methods: briefly describe the main methods or treatment applied; Result: summarize the article’s main findings; Conclusions: indicate the main conclusions. The abstract should be complete in itself and it must not contain results or any other parts that are not presented in the article. It should not have any points and numbering, figures and figure numbers, mathematical expressions, and references.

Introduction: The introduction should explain in detail the context and key problem that author argue, and why it is important. A detailed explanation should be addressed to the purpose of the work and its significance. The key and current state of research findings should be cited as references and carefully reviewed. Such as, citation to an unrelated work is strongly not recommended.

If it is necessary and depends on the type of the paper, the author may add additional subsections. Subsection could be written as follow: The subsection should highlight a very important part of the section related to the studied problem in the article. It is not necessary unless the author needs this section to further clarify the problem or previous studies and or highlight controversial and diverging hypotheses.

Finally, briefly address the aim and or the main finding of the work and highlight the principal conclusions. It is commonly understood that the Introduction section is deemed comprehensible to scientists outside the particular field of research attended by the author.

Method: The Methods should be described with sufficient details especially for new methods and protocols while well-established methods can be briefly described and appropriately cited. The author should add subsections and subsubsection so that other scientists are convinced enough that the works are replicable upon the published results.

Results: The result should provide a concise description of the result obtained in the study, and their interpretation. The author may add subsections and subsubsection if necessary.

Discussion: The author should discuss the results and interpretation of the statement of the problems stated in the introduction. The author may discuss their finding with previous studies, its implication and may highlight future research directions. The discussion could be very specific upon the finding of the research and or not limited to the broad context of the discipline.

Conclusion: The author should synthesize and draw the conclusion upon the application of the method to the data, result, and discussion. It is commonly known that the conclusion should sum up the significance of the study and the argument that is being proofed in the article.

Acknowledgments (optional): In this section, the author may acknowledge any support given, such as funding and name of expert that the author discussed in the manuscript.

References: follow the APA 7 style.

Please note that all names/references mentioned in the text/article should be listed in the References section. Names that are 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. 

Further guidelines are provided below.

The full text can be submitted in a word document (.doc or docx) by adhering to the following guidelines:

  1. Title (Font: Calibri Light, 18 pt, bold, align left)
  2. Full name of the author(s) (Calibri light, 12 pt, left, individual names separated by commas)
  3. Affiliation name and address of author(s) and corresponding email (Calibri light, 10 pt)
  4. Abstract is not more than 250 words (Calibri light, 9 pt, justified)
  5. Keywords (Calibri light, 9 pt, italic, separated by commas)

The following items have the following format: (Heading: Calibri body 12 pt bold, left; Content: Calibri light 10 pt, justified)

Headings and subheadings should be presented as follows (provide a space between the headings and sub-headings):

Introduction (Calibri Body, 12 pt)

Subheading of the Content (Calibri Light, Italic, 10 pt)

For Tables, the title size is 10 and the content size is 10. Number the tables subsequently throughout your article and the title is written above the table (see previous published issues for example).

For Figures, the title size is 10 pt and the content size (if any) is 10 pt. Number the figures subsequently throughout your article and the title is written below the figure (see previous published issues for example).
