The manuscript should be an original research paper or systematic literature review that sufficiently contributes novelty to educational science, language education, early childhood education, primary education, secondary education, and higher education. Authors are requested to submit their papers electronically by using the Journal of Nusantara Education online submission procedure. The corresponding author should also state that the manuscript is not concurrently being considered for publication elsewhere. The Editors will ignore submissions that do not follow these procedures.

Manuscript Submission Files

Authors are required to submit two versions of their manuscript during the submission process:

1. Title Page (with Author Information)

   This file should contain:

   • Full title of the manuscript;
   • Author(s)' full name(s) (given name and family name);
   • Academic title(s) (if applicable);
   • Affiliation(s) and complete institutional address(es);
   • Corresponding author's e-mail address; and
   • Any additional information related to the author(s), if necessary.

2. Blinded Manuscript (Anonymous Version)

   This file must not contain any information that could identify the author(s). All names, affiliations, acknowledgements, funding information, ORCID IDs, self-identifying citations, and other identifying details should be removed to ensure a double-blind peer-review process.

Structure of the manuscripts

1. Title. The title should be clear and informative and not more than 16 words. using Times New Roman 14pt

2. Author's names and institutions. The author's names should be accompanied by the author's institutions and email addresses, without any academic title. For a joint paper, one of the authors should be notified as to the corresponding author.

3. Abstract, keywords. The abstract should be between 150 and 200 words and written as a single paragraph without citations, tables, figures, or abbreviations unless they are widely recognized. The abstract should briefly describe: (1) the background or introduction to the study, (2) the research gap or problem addressed, (3) the research objectives, (4) the research methods, including participants or data sources where appropriate, (5) the principal findings, and (6) the main implications or contributions of the study. The keywords should consist of 3–5 words or phrases, arranged alphabetically and separated by semicolons. Keywords should accurately reflect the main topics of the manuscript and avoid repeating words already used in the title whenever possible.

4. Introduction. The manuscript should contain 5,000–8,000 words from the Introduction through the Conclusion, excluding the References section. The Introduction should account for approximately 10% of the total main-text word count, equivalent to approximately 500–800 words. The Introduction should establish the research context and explain the relevance of the topic to the field of education. Introduce the research context and problem, synthesize relevant literature, identify the research gap, show novelty, explain the study’s significance, and state the research aim or questions. Authors should clearly identify the research problem, supported by appropriate evidence and relevant literature. The literature review should be integrated into the Introduction rather than presented as a separate section. Authors are expected to critically synthesize relevant theoretical perspectives and previous empirical studies within the Introduction to establish the current state of knowledge and provide a strong rationale for the study. 

5. Methods. The Method section should account for approximately 15% of the total manuscript word count, equivalent to 750–1,200 words. It should clearly describe the research design and approach, including the rationale for selecting the design and methods in relation to the research objectives or questions. Authors should explain the research setting, participants and sampling techniques, research instruments or data sources and the reasons for their selection, as well as data collection procedures and data analysis methods. Relevant validity and reliability procedures for quantitative research, and trustworthiness strategies for qualitative research, such as credibility, triangulation, and member checking where applicable, should be explained. Ethical considerations, including informed consent and ethical approval where relevant, should also be reported. The methodology should be presented systematically and transparently to enable readers to evaluate the rigor and appropriateness of the study. 

6. Results. The results section should account for approximately 35% of the total word count, equivalent to 1,750–2,800 words. It should present the research findings systematically and directly address each research question or hypothesis. Authors should organize the results according to the research questions, objectives, or relevant themes, using tables, figures, or other visual representations where appropriate. Findings should be reported clearly and objectively, without excessive repetition of information already presented in tables or figures. Interpretation and comparison with previous studies should primarily be addressed in the Discussion section. 

7. Discussion. The Discussion section should account for approximately 35% of the total word count, equivalent to 1,750–2,800 words. Unlike the Results section, which reports the research findings, the Discussion interprets and explains the meaning, significance, and implications of those findings in relation to the research questions or hypotheses. Authors should compare and contrast their findings with relevant previous studies, explaining similarities, differences, and possible reasons for these results. The discussion should also highlight the study's contributions to existing knowledge and relevant theoretical or practical implications, supported by appropriate literature and logical arguments.

8. Conclusion. The Conclusion section should account for approximately 5% of the total word count, equivalent to 250–400 words. It should concisely summarize the main research findings and explain how they address the research questions or objectives. Authors should highlight the study's key contributions and implications without repeating detailed results or introducing new findings, arguments, or references. The conclusion should provide a clear and coherent closing statement that reflects the overall significance of the study.

Limitation

This section should briefly acknowledge the study's limitations, such as constraints related to the research design, participants, data sources, or research context. Authors should explain how these limitations may affect the interpretation or generalizability of the findings. – TNR 11pt

Implication for Future Research

This section should briefly explain the practical, theoretical, or educational implications of the research findings. Authors should highlight how the findings may inform practice, policy, theory, or future research, as relevant to the study's context and contributions. – TNR 11pt

Disclosure Statement/Conflict of Interest

Declare any competing interests or state that the authors have no conflicts to declare – TNR 11pt

Funding/Acknowledgement

Provide funding details or state that no external funding was received – TNR 11pt

Author Profiles

Each author should provide a brief profile of 100–150 words, including their full name, areas of expertise or research interests, institutional affiliation, Google Scholar ID, ORCID (if available), active email address, and teaching experience (if applicable). The profile should be written in clear, concise academic English and presented consistently for all authors. Authors should ensure that all information is accurate and up to date.

References

The manuscript should include a minimum of 35 references, formatted according to APA 7th edition. Authors are encouraged to use reference management tools such as Mendeley or Zotero to organize references and ensure consistency between in-text citations and the reference list. Approximately 80% of the references should be articles published within the last 5–10 years, while the remaining 20% may include seminar/conference/proceeding books or foundational works relevant to the study. Authors are strongly encouraged to prioritize articles published in reputable international journals indexed by Scopus or Web of Science (WoS). All journal articles included in the reference list must have a DOI, presented as a clickable URL (https://doi.org/xxxxx), whenever available. Authors should prioritize credible, peer-reviewed, and relevant scholarly sources.
