Online Submission Procedure
By submitting to Indonesian Journal of Education and Pedagogy (IJOEP), authors attest that:
The submission is an original work, free from any form of plagiarism (text, data, and figures).
The submission has not been previously published, nor is it under consideration by another journal.
The submission has been approved by all co-authors and relevant authorities (e.g. an institution or sponsor).
The manuscript has been (to the best of the authors’ abilities) written in good English or Bahasa Indonesia and is free of grammatical errors. However, it is highly recommended to submit the manuscript in English. It has been checked with a proofreading tool (e.g. Grammarly) and, if possible, proofreaded by a language editor.
Submissions to IJOEP should be through its online submission system. There are no strict formatting requirements for the initial submission, as long as the article structure conforms with our guidelines (see the manuscript structure section below). Manuscripts that advance to the revision stage will then be required to be formatted appropriately (see the formatting section). This enables authors to focus on the scientific content of their manuscript, along with speeding up the article’s processing time.
Author registration. Authors without a IJOEP account are required to create an account before beginning their submission. Make sure that the “Author” role is selected in the Role dropdown menu, otherwise you will not be able to proceed with the submission.

Manuscript Structures
Title. Use a concise and informative title in sentence case, with a maximum of 14 words.
Affiliation. Provide the full postal address of each author’s affiliation, including the street name and number, city, ZIP code, and country.
Abstract. Should consist of a single paragraph of no more than 250 words. Provide the background and objective of the paper, its principal results, and its conclusions. Avoid using abbreviations and citations.
Keywords. Include a maximum of six keywords or phrases, arranged alphabetically and separated using semicolons (;). Use specific, relevant terms that do not appear in the title, so that the article is easier to find in search engines. Do not use terms that are too general or too long.
Introduction. This section should briefly explain the background of the study, provide a short review of the pertinent literature, state the originality of the research, and state the research objectives. This section also covers the factual and actual problems, challenges, or requirements needed by community which related to the research purposes. In addition to that, this chapter comprises literature review, both a summary and explanation of the complete and current state of knowledge on a limited topic as found in academic books and journal articles. A conceptual analysis would only include reference to those works that are necessary for the analysis (although subjectively omitting works that may run counter to the analysis is not acceptable in a scientific work).
Method. Combine the methods and procedure used into one narrative passage. Enough information should be provided to enable repetition of the research. For commercial sources of the materials, the name of the company, and the town and country in which they are located should be indicated. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference, with only the relevant modifications described here; e.g. “Powder solubility was evaluated according to the method proposed by Smith (2000), with modifications. In the case of this study, powders were stirred in 25 mL of distilled water for 5 min using a blender.”; or “The powder solubility test followed the method of Smith (2000), with modifications in water volume. Powders were stirred in 25 mL of distilled water for 5 min using a blender.”
Results and Discussion. Describe the outcome of the study and its discussion. Data should be presented as concisely as possible, and in the form of tables or figures if appropriate, although very large tables should be avoided. If needed, this section can be combined with the Discussion section into a Results and discussion section. In the discussion, there should be an interpretation of the results of the work (not a repetition of them) in the context of previous research. Avoid excessive referencing of published literature. If needed, this section can be combined with the Results section into a Results and discussion section.
Conclusions. The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a standalone Conclusions section or included as a subsection of the Discussion section.
Acknowledgments. Acknowledge anyone who contributed to the research, as well as any funding or grants received in support of it. The names of funding organizations should be written in full, along with the grant numbers, if available. List any individuals who helped you during the study (e.g. assistance with study design or analysis, or guidance through a study area), or writing of the article (e.g. providing advice on the language, editing, or proofreading the article).

For the purposes of efficiency and conciseness, avoid using more than 40 references and less than 10, consist of 70% journal references and 30% book references.
