ATTENTION:

This page provides only a brief guide for authors. A more detailed Author Guidelines document can be downloaded from the following page (click).

Writing Systematics

Authors of scientific papers may consist of one individual or a team.

Scientific manuscripts must be written in proper and correct Indonesian or English, using academic or scholarly language rather than popular writing styles such as those used in popular books, newspapers, magazines, and similar publications. The manuscript must follow the prescribed formatting guidelines.

Scientific papers must be written in passive voice, not active voice.

The length of the article must be between 15 and 20 pages (including text, tables, figures, references, and any other materials required for publication in the journal). The manuscript must be prepared using Microsoft Word 2013 or later, following the Article Writing Template available for download on this website.

The manuscript must follow the format and structure below:

• Title of the scientific paper

• Full name(s), institutional affiliation(s), and email address(es) of the author(s)

• Abstract and keywords

• Introduction

• Methodology

• Results and Discussion

• Conclusion

• References

Article Style and Formatting

Every scientific article submitted to the Jihbiz Journal must use the prescribed Article Writing Template, which can be downloaded from the Jihbiz website.

Formatting style—including typography, paragraph settings, margins, and other layout elements—must conform to the Article Writing Template.

Style settings for each element of the manuscript must use the Style feature in Microsoft Word.

Instructions for using styles for each manuscript element are provided in the Author Guidelines document available for download on this website.

Explanation of Each Article Component

1. Title

• The title must use capital letters at the beginning of each word (except for articles and conjunctions).

• The title must clearly, concisely, and precisely reflect the content of the paper and consist of a maximum of 12 words in Indonesian or 10 words in English.

• The title should contain only the theme and must not include information about the object of study, research location, or research period.

• The title must be written as a phrase. Interrogative words may be used, but not in the form of a complete sentence.

• Choose a title that attracts readers’ attention, is academic in nature, and is easily searchable through internet search engines.

2. Author(s)’ Full Name(s)

The author’s name must be written without academic titles and placed below the title. If the paper is written by a team, all members must be listed in order according to their contribution, from substantive contribution to editing.

3. Abstract and Keywords

The abstract is a concise summary of the entire manuscript, covering the theme, methodology, findings, discussion, and conclusion. It must be understandable independently from the full manuscript.

The abstract must be dense, complete, clear, and concise (maximum 170 words). It should attract readers’ interest and must not include or explain technical details such as numerical data, formulas, and similar elements. Instead, it should emphasize findings and their contribution to knowledge.

The abstract and keywords must be written in both Indonesian and English.

Keywords are words or terms that reflect the key concepts of the article, not merely frequently occurring terms.

Keywords must consist of 3–6 words/terms and be written below the abstract.

4. Introduction

Begin with the general condition of the research object, the problem under study, and the scope of the research, including the selected theme, the reasons for selecting it, and its significance. Then identify the specific area studied and the research boundaries.

Briefly present commonly used theories, general formulas, previous studies, and opinions from reputable scholars.

Present the main research that forms the foundation of the paper.

End with a concise and clear description of the article’s objectives and its contribution to knowledge.

5. Literature Review and Hypothesis Development

Definitions of widely known concepts within a particular field do not need to be included, unless the definition is uncommon and specific.

Examples of commonly known definitions:

• Credit originates from the word credere

• Contract (akad) is …

• Bank is …

Explain the relationships among concepts/variables/proxies that form the basis for hypothesis development and prior research findings.

6. Methodology

The methodology explains how the research was conducted in its entirety so that if replicated by others using the same methodology, it would yield the same results.

State whether the research methodology is quantitative or qualitative, and explain the data collection and data analysis methods used.

7. Results and Discussion

The results or findings reveal what was discovered.

Results must present data systematically in the text and, where appropriate, be supported by tables, figures, graphs, diagrams, or similar visual aids to facilitate reader understanding.

Table and figure requirements:

The discussion interprets the meaning of the data (results) obtained.

Data interpretation goes beyond merely presenting results; it provides meaning, connects phenomena (data) with one another through arguments supported by literature (especially theory), determines whether results align with the issues/hypotheses and conceptual framework, and compares findings with previous studies, noting agreements or contradictions.

The discussion must provide in-depth analysis, not merely description. It should compare, contrast, and critically discuss results in relation to the theories underpinning the article. However, theory and literature review should not dominate the discussion; analytical insight must be more prominent.

The Results and Discussion section must be substantially longer and more dominant than other sections, including the Introduction and literature review.

8. Conclusion and Recommendations

• Address the research objectives.

• Answer potential emerging questions.

• Provide deep and insightful conclusions.

• Explain the applicability of the findings (implications).

• Present practical and academic implications as recommendations, as well as suggestions for future research.

9. References

All sources cited in the text must be included in the References list.

References must be from primary sources, published within the last 10 years, and relevant.

In-text citations and the References list must follow the APA (American Psychological Association) format.

Table and Figure Guidelines

Tables and figures must follow these requirements:

• Tables and figures must be numbered sequentially (Table 1, Table 2, etc.) without including chapter or section numbers.

• Table and figure titles must use capital letters at the beginning of each word (except articles/conjunctions), centered, and written after the table number.
  Example: Table 3 Number of Workers in the Agricultural Sector.

• The table title must be placed above the table; the figure title must be placed below the figure.

• The source of a table must be placed below the table. The source of a figure must be placed below the figure title.

• In the paragraph text, references to tables and figures must directly mention their number, without indicating location.
  Correct: Table 3 presents data on …
  Incorrect: The table above presents data on …

• Figures created using Microsoft Word’s internal features must be grouped to prevent separation during editing.

• Figures must use the “In Line with Text” layout setting so they move consistently with the text during editing.

• The style format within tables must follow the example provided in the Article Submission Template available on the Jihbiz website.

Reference Writing

References in the Jihbiz Journal must follow APA (American Psychological Association) format. The use of reference management software such as Mendeley, EndNote, or similar tools is recommended.
