Tables are sequentially numbered with the table title and number above the table. Tables should be centered in the column OR on the page. Tables should be followed by a line space (12pt). Elements of a table should be 1.15-spaced. However, double spacing can be used to show groupings of data or to separate parts within the table.  Table headings should be in 12pt bold. Tables are referred in the text by the table number, e.g., Table 1. Do not show the vertical line in the table. There is only horizontal line should be shown in the table.

Page numbers should be included in the text located in the footer section of each page. The use of pronouns such as I, we, etc., should be avoided.

When submitting a manuscript, the author guarantees that the same manuscript or a similar version has not been submitted to any other journal or publication. Submissions must be accompanied by in-text citation and must also be accompanied by a full bibliography of works cited in the text. Spelling, capitalization, and punctuation must be consistent within each article.

Authors name and affiliations

Write Author(s) names without a title and professional positions such as Prof, Dr, etc. Do not abbreviate your last/family name. Always give your full name. Write clear affiliation of all Authors. Example: Universitas Islam Negeri Walisongo Semarang, Indonesia. Do not write UIN Walisongo Semarang, or State Islamic University of Semarang.

Author names should be in 12 pt Cambria bold and Author affiliations should be in 12 pt Cambria.

Paper title

The title should reflect a specific focus of study based on the main issue of the article, highlights the main findings, and excludes the institution's name unless it adds contributions. The title should be in 14 pt bold Cambria and be centered. 

Abstract and keywords

An abstract looks like an advertisement of the article. The reader will continue reading all the article if he is interested in its abstract. Thus, the abstract should tell the prospective reader what the writer did and highlight the key findings. Avoid using uncommon abbreviations. The abstract must be accurate, brief, clear, precise, honest and specific to describe objectives, methods, main findings, implications, and contribution of research results. Use words which reflect the precise meaning. Please consider word limitations (200-300 words).

Keywords are the labels of your article and are helpful for indexing and searching. Therefore, the keywords should represent the content and highlight of the article. Use the words that only focus on your research variable, findings, or theories. A semicolon should separate each word/phrase in the keyword (;).

Introduction

The introduction section is pivotal in establishing the groundwork for the research. It should be both succinct and comprehensive, drawing on reliable and diverse sources. This section needs to effectively address the research problem, highlighting its significance and urgency within the current context. Additionally, it should critically assess the limitations and gaps in the existing body of literature, thus paving the way for new insights and perspectives offered by the research. It is also crucial to clearly articulate the specific focus and purpose of the research, outlining the key objectives and contributions. Using universally recognized terms and avoiding local jargon or abbreviations is advisable to ensure clarity and accessibility for readers from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

Methods

A short description of your methods in conducting the research is necessary to write down in this section. Please briefly and fully explain the research approach and design chosen, the research participants involved, data collection tools, instrument grids (if any), techniques for testing the validity or validity of research data, and techniques for analyzing research data. If there are statistical formulas used as part of the research method, then commonly used formulas should not be written. Authors are advised to provide reference sources for the methods used.

Results

The results section should present the collected field data (test results, questionnaires, interviews, documents, etc.). Researchers must include data sources when presenting relevant research data. For example, interview results or observation results. Data presentation is also recommended to use graphs, figures, and tables that are easy to understand and clarify the findings. All tables, figures, and graphs should be centered and sequentially numbered. The results section can include detailed sub-topics directly related to the research focus. 

Discussion

The discussion of research results is an important part of a scientific article that explains the meaning of the findings, their implications, and how they relate to theory and relevant research. The discussion begins by revealing the main findings, followed by interpretations and implications from the point of view of theory and other research results. Researchers should compare the results of their research with theory and other studies to clarify their contribution, as well as explain the limitations of the study and recommendations for future research. Limitations of the study can also be written in the discussion.

Conclusions

The conclusion should be presented briefly, narratively, and conceptually, describing the research findings and their effects. Avoid using numbering and symbols (bullet points and numbering) in the conclusion section. Tells how your work will find a theory of knowledge. Without a clear conclusion, reviewers and readers will find it difficult to assess the benefits of your work. Do not restate the abstract, or just list from analysis.  

References

The references section should only include reliable references. The minimum number of references should be 30, with 80% of them coming from journals published in the last five years. In addition, DOI or URL of references must be included when they are available on web pages, such as journal articles and online books. Citations and the reference list should be formatted using a reference management application (such as Mendeley, EndNote, or Zotero) in the latest APA (American Psychological Association) style. Example: (Jamil, 2024, p. 12) or (Jamil, 2024) for citation of global idea of reference.
