Authors are requested to read the journal's Aims & Scope, Peer Review Process, Publication Ethics & Policies, and the following guidelines before submitting a manuscript. Submission indicates that all authors have approved the manuscript and its submission to Artikulasi: Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa dan Sastra Indonesia.

1. Scope and Scholarly Contribution

Manuscripts must fit the Aims & Scope of Artikulasi and demonstrate a clear scholarly contribution. Authors should identify the problem or knowledge gap addressed, position the study within relevant scholarship, explain its originality or added value, and articulate defensible theoretical, methodological, pedagogical, or sociocultural implications. A change of research location or participant group alone is not considered sufficient novelty.

2. Manuscript Types

Artikulasi considers Original Research Articles and high-quality Review Articles. Review Articles must use transparent search, selection, and analytical procedures appropriate to the type of review conducted.

3. Manuscript Language

Manuscripts may be written in Indonesian or English. An English title, abstract, and keywords are required for all articles. Language should be scholarly, clear, consistent, inclusive, and readable by a broader academic audience. Authors are responsible for the linguistic quality of their manuscripts.

4. Manuscript Length

Research manuscripts are generally recommended to be approximately 5,000–8,000 words, including tables, figures, notes, and references. Review Articles may be longer when justified by the review design. Editors may consider manuscripts outside this range when warranted by scholarly content.

5. Title

The title should be concise, informative, specific, and accurately reflect the principal object and focus of the study. Avoid uncommon abbreviations. The research location need not appear in the title unless it is analytically relevant to the study's contribution.

6. Author Information and Metadata

Submission metadata must include each author's publication name, institutional affiliation, country, active email address, and ORCID. The corresponding author must be clearly identified. Author order should be agreed before submission. Authorship changes after submission require justification and agreement from all authors and are subject to journal policy.

7. Abstract

The abstract should be self-contained, concise, and informative, approximately 180–250 words. For research articles, it should include the context/problem and objective, method, principal findings, and main conclusion or implication. Avoid citations, unnecessary abbreviations, generic statements, and claims unsupported by the study findings.

8. Keywords

Provide 4–6 specific keywords that enhance article discoverability. Avoid using only terms that duplicate the title. Use established disciplinary terminology where appropriate.

9. Structure of Original Research Articles

The principal structure includes Introduction, Method, Results/Findings, Discussion, Conclusion, and References. Results and Discussion may be combined when appropriate to the methodological tradition. Qualitative, language, or literary studies may adapt subsection structures provided that the argument, method, evidence, analysis, and contribution remain transparent.

10. Introduction

The introduction should establish the scholarly problem, synthesize relevant literature, identify an unresolved gap or issue, explain the significance of the study, and conclude with the research objective/question and expected contribution. Avoid introductions consisting primarily of definitions or sequential summaries of previous studies without critical synthesis.

11. Method

The method section should enable readers to understand how the study was conducted and assess its appropriateness and credibility. Describe the research design, context, participants/data sources and their selection, instruments or materials, data collection procedures, analytical procedures, relevant strategies for validity/trustworthiness or analytical quality, and research ethics. For studies involving human participants, describe ethics approval or informed-consent procedures where relevant and required.

12. Results/Findings

Findings should address the research objectives or questions and be presented systematically. Tables, figures, data excerpts, or linguistic examples should be used when they strengthen the evidence and should not merely duplicate the narrative text.

13. Discussion

The discussion should interpret rather than merely repeat the results. Relate findings critically to theory and previous scholarship, explain similarities and differences analytically, articulate the study's contribution, consider alternative explanations where relevant, and state limitations proportionately.

14. Conclusion

The conclusion should answer the research objectives concisely and emphasize the main contribution and implications. Do not introduce new data or claims beyond the evidence. Recommendations should arise from the study findings.

15. Tables, Figures, and Copyrighted Material

Tables and figures must be numbered, carry informative titles/captions, be cited in the text, and remain clearly legible. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reuse third-party copyrighted material and for providing appropriate attribution.

16. Citations and References

References should be relevant to the research problem and method and adequately represent current scholarship and important primary sources. Authors are encouraged to use reference-management software. DOI or another persistent identifier should be provided where available. Avoid citation padding, irrelevant citations, citation manipulation, and excessive dependence on secondary sources. Authors are not required to cite Artikulasi unless its articles are genuinely relevant to the manuscript.

17. Ethics and Transparency Statements

Before the References or in the manuscript's end matter, include applicable statements concerning Author Contributions; Funding; Conflict of Interest; Data Availability; Research Ethics/Informed Consent where relevant; Acknowledgments; and Generative AI Disclosure when applicable.

18. Authorship and Author Contributions

Authorship should be limited to individuals who made substantive contributions to the research and manuscript and who approve the submitted and published versions. Contributions may be described using the CRediT taxonomy where appropriate. Contributors who do not meet authorship criteria should be acknowledged with their permission.

19. Conflicts of Interest

All authors must disclose financial, professional, personal, academic, or institutional relationships that could reasonably be perceived to influence the research or its interpretation. If none exist, authors should state that they have no conflicts of interest to declare.

20. Data Availability

Authors should state whether the data supporting the findings are available, where they can be accessed, or why access is restricted. Statements should respect privacy, participant consent, intellectual-property rights, and applicable ethical requirements.

21. Use of Generative AI

Generative AI or AI-assisted tools cannot be listed as authors. When such tools have been used substantively in manuscript preparation or the research process, their use must be transparently disclosed in accordance with the journal's GenAI policy, including the tool used and the purpose of its use. Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, citations, integrity, and entire content of the manuscript.

22. Originality and Redundant Publication

Manuscripts must be original, must not be under simultaneous consideration by another journal, and must not constitute redundant publication. Where a manuscript is related to a preprint, conference proceeding, thesis/dissertation, dataset, or previous publication, authors must disclose the relationship transparently and ensure that the submission complies with journal policy.

23. Similarity Screening

Artikulasi conducts similarity screening as part of manuscript-integrity assessment. Similarity reports are not judged solely by a single percentage threshold. Editors evaluate the source, location, nature, and context of matching material to identify plagiarism, duplication, or inappropriate text reuse.

24. Preparation for Double-Anonymized Review

The manuscript file submitted for review must not contain author names, affiliations, email addresses, acknowledgments that reveal identity, or other information that directly identifies the authors. Author information should be entered in the OJS metadata and/or a separate title page when requested.

25. Submission Files

At minimum, a submission must include an anonymized manuscript file and complete OJS metadata. Where applicable, authors should also upload a title page, supplementary material, ethics approval, data/material statements, or other documents requested by the editor.

26. Process after Submission

Manuscripts undergo administrative checking, editorial screening, similarity assessment, and peer review in accordance with the journal's Peer Review Process. Submission does not guarantee that a manuscript will be sent for external review or accepted for publication.

27. Revision

For manuscripts receiving a revision decision, authors must upload a revised manuscript and a Response to Reviewers addressing every comment systematically. Changes to the manuscript should be readily identifiable as instructed by the editor.

28. Proofing and Publication

After acceptance, manuscripts proceed through copyediting, reference/metadata checking, layout, and author proofing. The corresponding author is responsible for carefully checking the proof. Substantial post-acceptance changes require editorial approval.

29. Compliance with Journal Policies

Authors must comply with the journal's Publication Ethics & Policies, Copyright & License, Author Fees, Retraction/Correction/Withdrawal Policy, GenAI Policy, and other policies published by Artikulasi.
