Author Guidelines

  1. Submission of a manuscript implies that the work described has never been published before and is not currently being considered for publication elsewhere.
  2. Articles submitted to the journal range between 3500-9000 words written in English in single space, using Microsoft Word, font size 12, Tahoma, left and right margin 2.5 cm, top and bottom margin 2 cm, printed in A4.
  3. The Title is Not More than 18 Words, Capitalized Each Word, Centred, and Bold, with Tahoma Font Size 14.
  4. The name(s) of the author(s), affiliation, and Names of the Country should exist below the title, and all of the author(s) email addresses should appear on journal metadata.
  5. The Abstract should concisely describe the content and scope of your paper and identify the objective(s), methodology, findings, conclusions, and implications of the study. It should be about 150 words (minimum) and 300 words (maximum), followed by three to five keywords related to your article.
  6. The Outline used is: an Introduction, Methods, Result and Discussion, Conclusion, and References.
  7. The Introduction consists of the background of the study, research contexts, literary review (which can be separated into different sections), and research objective. All introductions should be presented in the form of paragraphs, not pointers, with a proportion of 10-20% of the whole article length.
  8. The Methods section should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described. This section may also consist of a description concerning the research design, setting, participants, data sources, data collection, and data analysis with a proportion of 10-15% of the total article length, all presented in the form of paragraphs.
  9. The Results and Discussion may combine or separate. This section consists of a description of the results of the data analysis to answer the research question(s) and their meanings are seen from current theories and references of the area addressed. In this section, the author(s) may also provide some figures or tables to support the data display. For Tables, the title size is 12 and the content size is 9. Number the tables subsequently throughout your article and the title is written above the table (see Table 1 on the JELITA’s template). For Figures, the title size is 12 and the content size (if any) is 9. Number the figures subsequently throughout your article and the title is written below the figure (see Figure 1 on JELITA’s template).
  10. Highlight the most significant results, but do not repeat what has been written in the Results section. The purpose of the discussion is to interpret and describe the significance of your findings in light of what was already known about the research problem being investigated and to explain any new understanding or insights that emerged as a result of your study of the problem. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. The proportion of findings and discussion section is 40-60% of the total article length. 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.
  11. Provide the Conclusion to your study and final words on the value of your analysis, research, or paper. Limitations of your study should be addressed. Or you can mention the summary, restatement, comment, or evaluation of the main findings. Recommendations for future research related to your topic should also be mentioned.
  12. Use the most recent APA style for quotations and references, and include them at the end of the article (highly recommended to use reference manager apps, e.g. Mendeley)
  13. Every source cited in the body of the article should also be cited in the references, and vice versa.
  14. At least 80% of the sources cited should have been published within the last ten years. The sources cited are primary sources such as journal articles, books, and research reports, as well as theses and dissertations.
  15. If there are multiple appendices, they should be numbered sequentially.
  16. The Journal uses peer review and encourages blind reviewing. Author names (without academic titles), institutional affiliations, and the email address of the corresponding author should appear only on a detachable cover sheet to facilitate this process.
  17. Proofs will be sent to the author for correction and must be returned by the deadline to OJS Journal of Education, Language Innovation, and Applied Linguistics.
