Manuscript content
Manuscript content includes the introduction, research method, results and discussion, conclusion,
and references. A sub-chapter on Literature Review is unnecessary.
• Relevant to the need for learning processes in the social and political sciences and humanities field.
• Closely related to or relevant with the authors’ mastery background, either theoretical writing,
methodological writing, research summary, or scientific book review.
• Considering the content objectivity and scientific rules.
• The editors consider 6000-8000 words to be the preferable article length. The length of the
manuscript should not exceed 8000 words, including text, all tables and figures, notes, and
appendices intended for publication. A manuscript that exceeds the 8000-word limit will be
returned without review.

Writing technique
• Within the manuscript body, avoid using dot points, alphabetizing, or numbering as follows:
1) ...........
2) ...........
This model of writing is preferred: 1) ................, 2) ..............
• Manuscript written in essay format, no numbering between chapter or part is allowed.
• The table and graph should be referred in the discussion.
• Make the tables or graphs as straightforward as possible. The table should contain table number,
title, note, and information if needed (below the table to explain abbreviation in the table). Use
only horizontal lines, and vertical lines are not allowed.
• Use running note instead of footnote or endnote; for example:
...... (Eveleth & Tanner 1990:10, Kennedy 1993).
...... (Abolfotouh et al. 1993).
...... (Boas 1896 in Martin 1928).
• Avoid journal name abbreviation in referencing.
• Instead of using points, conclusion is written in paragraph format.
• Reference uses “name-year” system, accordance with alphabetical family name.
 • In reference, mention all author’s name (not et al.); for example:
Aboulfotouh M, Abu-Zeid H, Badawi I, & Mahfouz A (1993) A method for adjusting the
international growth curves for local use in the assessment of nutritional status of Saudi pre-
school children. Journal of Egypt Public Health Association 68 (2):687-702.
