Author Guidelines
Some Essentials
- Academicians are interested in sending empirical research papers to EJME, must write their manuscripts most at 15 pages, including references. The submitted manuscript must be written in English or Bahasa. Authors should declare that the accepted manuscript is truly belongs to them and is not sent elsewhere for publication. The same author can only send a new manuscript back to EJME if it has passed four issue from the date of publication of the last manuscript.
- A double-blind review process is applied for all submitted papers. Each submitted manuscript should be without information about the author(s) and their affiliation to facilitate the double-blind peer-review process.
- We will run similarity test for the submitted articles using iThenticate or Turnitin. The tolerance level of similarity is about 20%.
- Conference papers can be considered for publication in EJME if those papers are fully re-written and are also obtained necessary written permission from the copyright owner (if those papers have been published and the publisher holds the right).
General Writing Instructions:
- Articles should be typed using Microsoft Office Word (or alike) and saved at least in the form of Microsoft Word document formats.
- The entire article must be written using Cambria letter type, with 11 pt. in size, 1.15 spacing, A4 paper size. Please allow for one spacing between chapters.
- Allow top margins of 4 cm, bottom margins of 3 cm, left margins of 3 cm and right margin of 3 cm.
- Tables and pictures should credit the source (if they are taken from other references) and be numbered sequentially.
- Title of the table is centered and typed before the table itself using letter type of cambria with size 10 pt. The content of table is written with smaller size letter (cambria with size 10 pt.)
- Title of the picture is centered and typed after the picture itself using letter type of cambria with size 10 pt. For authors who provide diagrams or graphs, please make sure that all diagrams and graphs is editable so editor can resize easily to fit the space in the printed version.
- Mathematical and statistical formula must be numbered sequentially and be cited properly (if they from other sources). Please use Microsoft Equation to type the formula that can ease the editor for the copy-editing process.
- All citations and references have to be listed completely in list of references, and vice versa. Please consider using citation management software, such as Mendeley, for ensuring the citation to be well-managed.
Sequances of the manuscripts
Interested authors should structure their articles based on the following sequences, otherwise EJME will return the articles for revision.
- Title
Title uses Cambria with size 13 pt. The title is centered and capitalized for each word. Use bold font for the title. - Abstract
The abstract uses Cambria with 10 pt. The abstract is 250 words at most and it should cover the research problems and objectives, research methods, research findings, contributions, or implications. - Keywords
Keywords represent the five most relevant subjects. Keywords are words or phrases that frequently appear in the article and commonly reflect discussion topic. - Introduction/background
Introduction covers the background of the research issues, indications and research problems, research objectives, originalities of ideas and research contribution. The relevant review of previous research should be well-organized to provide interesting scientific argumentation and attract more readers' curiosity. - Theoretical Framework and Empirical Studies
Literature review cites theories and previous researches that are relevant to the topic of the research. For quantitative research, this section serves as a theoretical synthesis and logical basis for developing research hypotheses and models. - Research Methods
This section describes the theoretical foundations and technical information that is adequate for conducting and reproducing the research well, including details of types of research and the reasons for choosing, nature of collected data and the collection methods, methods of analyzing data, and finally, how to make decisions from the data. - Data Analysis and Discussions
This section elaborates the results of the research completely and is usually followed by the discussion of the newly-obtained results toward the underpinning theories. The discussion can either confirm or reject prevailing theories or generate new theoretical foundations and understanding about the world phenomena from different theoretical standpoints. - Conclusion, Suggestion and Limitation
This section concludes the research results and proposes the theoretical and practical implications. In these sections, authors usually express the limitations of the current study and recommend ideas and improvements for future research.
References
The references must be 95% sourced from indexed English articles published in international or national journals less than ten years. The authors use the APA Style (7th Edition) reference system and Mendeley as the reference manager.
Bibliography/reference
- The citations and bibliography used are prioritized for the last 10 years. The bibliography of the journal is at least 80% of what is written.
- When submitting manuscripts, it is also required to send a statement of ethics for publication. These ethical statements of publications are expected to be read, complied with and signed prior to submission.
- Each manuscript in EJME will be reviewed by reviewers with a double blind review system. All review processes are carried out online through the web system and the progress of the manuscript can be monitored by the author through the web system.
- The time each manuscript is sent from the time it is declared accepted by the editor will not be the same depending on the review process of each manuscript. The editor cannot guarantee the exact time of publication when a new manuscript is submitted by the author.
- Print checking and editing are carried out by the editor and/or by involving the author. Manuscripts that are already in print can be canceled by the editor if they are found to have problems.
- Everything related to licensing of citations or the use of computer software for the manufacture of manuscripts or other matters related to intellectual property rights carried out by the author of the manuscript, along with the legal consequences that may arise because of it, are the full responsibility of the author of the manuscript.
