GUIDELINES FOR WRITING SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES

General Instructions

EDUCATIONAL RESEARCHER JOURNAL publishes scientific articles on topics relevant to the fields of education and culture, especially in the areas of education management, education evaluation, education policy, educational technology, curricula, learning and teaching, learning innovation, and culture related to education. Articles proposed for publication in the Journal must be original works that have not been published in any other scientific journals. The article is written in English using proper and correct writing conventions.

The article is written in the form of a manuscript in MS Word with A4 page size (210 x 297 mm) with a left margin of 25 mm, top margin of 30 mm, right margin of 20 mm, and bottom margin of 20 mm. The article is written in a single-column format with the simplest possible text layout. It is recommended to only use the writing facilities provided in MS Word (bold, italics, subscript, superscript, equation, etc.) and not to use other facilities that are not available in MS Word (embedded graphic design, embedded symbols, embedded equations, etc.). All sections of the text in the manuscript are written using the Times New Roman 12 pt font and double spacing.

Special Instructions

The manuscript begins with the Title, Author's Name, Author's Address, Abstract, and Keywords, followed by the main sections consisting of Introduction, Research Method (Model Development), Results and Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgments, List of Notations (if any), References, and Appendices (Figures and Tables). In manuscript writing, figures and tables are not presented together with the text in the main body, but in the Appendix, each accompanied by a sequential number and the name of the figure and table. The figure number and name are written at the bottom of the figure, while the table number and name are written at the top of the table. Please ensure that the quality and size of the images presented are large enough to produce good print quality (one page for one image). Please do not frame the images. This will make it easier for the editorial team to edit and format the text later.
