Manuscript Preparation Guidelines
Structure of the manuscripts
  1. Title. The title should be short, clear, and informative, but does not exceed 20 words. It has to be pinpoint with the issues discussed. The article title does not contain any uncommon abbreviations. The main ideas should be written first and followed then by its explanations.
  2. Author’s names and institutions. The author's names should be accompanied by the author's institutions, institutions address, and email addresses, without any academic titles and job title.
  3. Abstract. Abstracts A single paragraph of about 250 words maximum. For research articles, abstracts should give a pertinent overview of the work. We strongly encourage authors to use the following style of structured abstracts, but without headings: (1) Background: Place the question addressed in a broad context and highlight the purpose of the study; (2) Purpose of the Study: Identify the purpose and objective of the study; (3) Methods: Describe briefly the main methods or theoretical framework applied; (4) Results: Summarize the article's main findings; and (5) Conclusions: Indicate the main conclusions or interpretations.
  4. Keywords. List three to five pertinent keywords specific to the article; yet reasonably common within the subject discipline; use lower case except for names
  5. Introduction. The introduction should briefly place the study in a broad context and highlight why it is important. It should define the purpose of the work and its significance. The current state of the research field should be reviewed carefully, and key publications cited. Please highlight controversial and diverging hypotheses when necessary. Finally, briefly mention the main aim of the work and highlight the principal conclusions. As far as possible, please keep the introduction comprehensible to scientists outside your particular field of research. References should be cited as (Kamba, 2018) or (Marchlewska et al., 2019) or (Cichocka, 2016; Hidayat & Khalika, 2019; Ikhwan, 2019; Madjid, 2002) or (Miller & Josephs, 2009, p. 12) or Rakhmat (1989). See the end of the document for further details on references. Technical terms should be defined. Symbols, abbreviations, and acronyms should be defined the first time they are used. All tables and figures should be cited in numerical order. The research method should be included in the Introduction. The method contains an explanation of the research approach, subjects of the study, the conduct of the research procedure, the use of materials and instruments, data collection, and analysis techniques.
  6. Method. The method contains the research methods used relating to the research subject, data collection techniques, population and samples, data analysis techniques and data validity techniques used in research completion.
  7. Results. The results obtained from the research have to be supported by sufficient data. The research results and the discovery must be the answers, or the research hypothesis stated previously in the introduction part.

    Discussion: The discussion is highlighted through the title and subtitles of the section when needed
    Authors should discuss the results and how they can be interpreted from the perspective of previous studies and of the working hypotheses. The findings and their implications should be discussed in the broadest context possible. Future research directions may also be highlighted. The following components should be covered in the discussion: How do your results relate to the original question or objectives outlined in the Introduction section (what/how)? Do you provide interpretation scientifically for each of your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results consistent with what other investigators have reported (what else)? Or are there any differences?

  8. Conclusions. The conclusion should answer the objectives of the research and research discoveries. The concluding remark should not contain only the repetition of the results and discussions or abstract. You should also suggest future research and point out those that are underway.
  9. Acknowledgments. In this section, you can acknowledge any support given, which is not covered by the author's contribution or funding sections. This may include administrative and technical support, or donations in kind (e.g., materials used for experiments).
  10. Conflicts of Interest. Declare conflicts of interest or state “The authors declare no conflict of interest.” Authors must identify and declare any personal circumstances or interests that may be perceived as inappropriately influencing the representation or interpretation of reported research results.
  11. References. The literature listed in the References contains only the sources referenced or included in the article. We recommend preparing the references with a bibliography software package, such as Mendeley, EndNote, Reference Manager or Zotero to avoid typing mistakes and duplicated references. Referral sources should provide 80% of journal articles, proceedings, or research results from the last five years. Writing techniques bibliography, using the system cites APA (American Psychological Association) Style and the 6th edition.

Authorship Criteria

Journal of Education and Religious Studies (JERS) is committed to maintaining transparency, fairness, and accountability in the attribution of authorship. Authorship must reflect genuine intellectual contributions to the research and manuscript, rather than institutional position, seniority, funding, or other non-substantive considerations. This policy is informed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), particularly its Discussion Document on Authorship.
 
  1. Eligibility for Authorship
Individuals may be listed as authors of a manuscript submitted to Jurnal Ekonomi Indonesia only when their contributions demonstrate substantive intellectual involvement in the research and manuscript preparation. Authors must be able to explain their respective contributions and accept responsibility for the accuracy and integrity of their work.
Qualifying contributions may include:
  • Conceptualization: Developing the research question, research objectives, hypotheses, theoretical framework, or central research ideas.
  • Methodology: Making substantial intellectual contributions to the development or selection of research methods, analytical frameworks, econometric models, or research designs.
  • Investigation and data analysis: Contributing substantially to data collection, data curation, statistical analysis, econometric analysis, or the interpretation of empirical evidence.
  • Interpretation of findings: Contributing to the interpretation of results, development of economic arguments, and formulation of the study's theoretical, empirical, or policy implications.
  • Writing and critical revision: Drafting the manuscript or critically revising it to improve its important intellectual content.
These examples are intended to help the journal assess the substance of each contribution. Routine assistance or participation in only one activity does not automatically establish eligibility for authorship. See the COPE Discussion Document on Authorship.
 
  1. Responsibilities of Authors
All individuals listed as authors are expected to:
  1. Make a genuine and substantial intellectual contribution to the research or manuscript.
  2. Participate in drafting the manuscript or critically revising it for important intellectual content.
  3. Review and approve the final version of the manuscript before submission or publication.
  4. Agree to take responsibility for their contributions and cooperate in addressing questions concerning the accuracy, integrity, or reliability of the research.
  5. Ensure that all individuals who qualify for authorship are appropriately credited and that no eligible contributor is improperly omitted.
  6. Disclose relevant conflicts of interest and ensure that information concerning funding, data, research methods, and other declarations is accurate.
  7. Cooperate with the editorial team in providing clarification or supporting documentation when authorship concerns arise.
COPE recommends that journals clearly communicate authorship criteria, obtain authorship declarations where appropriate, and establish accountability for the integrity of submitted work. See the COPE Discussion Document on Authorship.
 
  1. Contributions That Do Not Qualify for Authorship
Contributions that do not independently demonstrate substantive intellectual involvement are generally insufficient for authorship. These may include:
  • Providing funding or financial support without making a qualifying intellectual contribution.
  • Holding a senior academic, institutional, managerial, or supervisory position.
  • Providing routine administrative assistance or general project coordination.
  • Performing routine data entry, transcription, or technical assistance without substantial intellectual involvement.
  • Providing language editing, proofreading, translation, or manuscript formatting without contributing to its intellectual content.
  • Providing general supervision or mentorship without making a qualifying contribution to the article.
  • Offering comments or suggestions that do not amount to substantial intellectual development of the manuscript.
Individuals whose contributions do not meet the journal's authorship criteria may be acknowledged in the Acknowledgments section, with their permission. Acknowledgment must accurately describe their contributions and must not be used to imply authorship where the criteria are not met.
COPE distinguishes authorship from acknowledgment and advises journals to establish transparent policies for recognizing contributions appropriately. See the COPE Discussion Document on Authorship.
 
  1. Authorship Order
The order of authors should be determined by mutual agreement among all authors and should reflect the nature and extent of their scholarly contributions to the research and manuscript.
Authorship order must not be determined solely by academic rank, institutional seniority, supervisory position, financial contribution, or personal relationships. All authors should discuss and agree on the order of authorship before submission.
For collaborative research involving multiple institutions or disciplines, authors are encouraged to establish clear authorship arrangements at an early stage of the research process and review them when contributions change.
COPE emphasizes the importance of transparent authorship policies and clear agreements among contributors to help prevent authorship disputes. See the COPE Discussion Document on Authorship.
 
  1. Corresponding Author Responsibilities
The corresponding author serves as the primary contact between the authors and the journal throughout submission, peer review, revision, and publication.
The corresponding author is responsible for:
  1. Ensuring that all authors have reviewed and approved the submitted manuscript.
  2. Confirming that all listed authors have agreed to the submission and the declared order of authorship.
  3. Providing accurate author names, affiliations, contact information, and contribution statements.
  4. Communicating editorial decisions, revision requests, and publication-related information to all co-authors.
  5. Submitting any requested authorship declarations or supporting documentation.
  6. Informing the editorial office of any proposed changes to authorship.
  7. Facilitating communication among co-authors when questions concerning contributions or research integrity arise.
The corresponding author must not add, remove, or rearrange authors without following the journal's procedures and obtaining the necessary agreement from the authors concerned. COPE recommends clear authorship declarations and communication with named authors to reduce the risk of unauthorized or disputed authorship. See the COPE Discussion Document on Authorship.
 
  1. Author Contributions Statement
All submissions must include an Author Contributions Statement that accurately describes the specific contributions of each author to the research and manuscript.
Authors may use the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT), where appropriate, to describe individual contributions, including:
  • Conceptualization
  • Methodology
  • Formal analysis
  • Investigation
  • Data curation
  • Writing – original draft
  • Writing – review and editing
  • Visualization
  • Supervision
  • Project administration
  • Funding acquisition
Only roles that accurately reflect the work performed should be declared. A contribution label alone does not automatically establish eligibility for authorship; the journal will assess the overall nature and substance of each individual's contribution.
Contributions from individuals who do not qualify for authorship may be described separately in the Acknowledgments section, where appropriate and with their permission.
COPE recommends that journals consider obtaining statements identifying each author's specific contribution and confirming that all individuals deserving authorship have been included. See the COPE Discussion Document on Authorship.
 
  1. Changes in Authorship
Any request to add, remove, or rearrange authors after manuscript submission must be submitted in writing to the editorial office. The request must include a clear explanation of the proposed change and written agreement from all authors concerned, including any individuals being added or removed.
The editorial team may request additional information or documentation before making a decision. Editorial consideration may be suspended while the request is assessed.
Changes will be considered only when the reasons are satisfactory, the required author agreements have been obtained, and the request complies with the journal's publication ethics policy.
Requests to change authorship after publication will be assessed in accordance with the journal's correction policy and applicable publication ethics procedures.
COPE advises journals to obtain agreement from all authors when changes to authorship are requested after submission or publication. See the COPE Discussion Document on Authorship.
 
  1. Guest, Gift, and Ghost Authorship
Jurnal Ekonomi Indonesia does not accept guest authorship, gift authorship, or ghost authorship.
  • Guest or gift authorship refers to listing an individual as an author despite the absence of a qualifying contribution.
  • Ghost authorship refers to failing to acknowledge an individual who has made a contribution that warrants authorship.
  • Inappropriate authorship attribution includes omitting eligible contributors, misrepresenting individual contributions, or including individuals without their knowledge or agreement.
All authorship information must accurately reflect the contributions made to the research and manuscript. Academic position, funding support, supervision, or institutional authority must not be used as a substitute for qualifying scholarly contributions.
COPE identifies inappropriate authorship attribution as an important publication ethics concern and encourages journals to establish clear criteria and transparent procedures for addressing authorship-related problems. See the COPE Discussion Document on Authorship.
 
  1. Authorship Disputes and Ethical Concerns
Authorship disputes should, where possible, be addressed through constructive communication among the individuals involved and their affiliated institutions.
When an authorship concern is raised, the journal may request written explanations, contribution statements, correspondence, or other relevant documentation. The editorial team will assess the matter impartially and may suspend editorial processing while the concern is investigated.
Where a dispute cannot be resolved satisfactorily, the journal may refer the matter to the relevant institution or follow other appropriate publication ethics procedures. The journal will not determine institutional employment or disciplinary matters that fall outside its authority.
Suspected authorship misconduct will be handled in accordance with the journal's editorial policies and applicable COPE guidance. See the COPE Discussion Document on Authorship.
 
  1. Declaration of Authorship
By submitting a manuscript to Jurnal Ekonomi Indonesia, the corresponding author confirms, on behalf of all authors, that:
  1. All listed authors have made genuine contributions consistent with the journal's authorship criteria.
  2. All authors have reviewed and approved the final manuscript and agreed to its submission.
  3. The order of authorship has been agreed upon by all authors.
  4. No individual who qualifies for authorship has been improperly omitted.
  5. No individual has been included as an author without a qualifying contribution and agreement.
  6. The Author Contributions Statement accurately represents the contributions of each author.
  7. All authors agree to cooperate in addressing questions concerning the accuracy, integrity, and reliability of the research.
The journal may request additional information or documentation when necessary to verify authorship declarations and uphold publication ethics. This approach is consistent with COPE's recommendations concerning authorship statements, contributor transparency, and responsibility for the integrity of published work. See the COPE Discussion Document on Authorship.
