Author Guidelines

Submission Requirements. Manuscripts must comply with the Jurnal Lemhannas RI (JLRI) template (download here). Submissions are welcome from authors affiliated with academic, governmental, or research institutions. The research presented must have been conducted within the past five years, must not have been previously published, and must not be under consideration by any other journal. The manuscript must be approved by all co-authors (if applicable), who share equal responsibility for its content. The publisher bears no liability for any legal claims that may arise in connection with submitted manuscripts.

Submissions must be made via the designated online platform. Manuscripts should be prepared in Microsoft Word format, single-spaced, with a left margin of 2.5 cm and top, right, and bottom margins of 2 cm. The font must be Times New Roman, size 12, and the manuscript must not exceed 15 pages in total, including tables, figures, and appendices.

Manuscript Structure. 
Manuscripts must follow the structure below:
1. Title (in English, using British spelling)
2. Author(s) and institutional affiliation(s)
3. Corresponding author’s email
4. Abstract (in British English, maximum 250 words)
5. Keywords (in British English, 3–5 terms)

Title.
The title must be concise (maximum 12 words), specific, and accurately reflect the article’s content. Author names and institutional affiliations must be listed directly beneath the title, along with the email address of the corresponding author.

Abstract.
The abstract must be written in British English and should not exceed 250 words. It must succinctly present the research background, objectives, methods, key findings, and implications. Keywords must be provided in British English, consisting of 3 to 5 terms that reflect the core themes of the article and assist in indexing.

Introduction.
The introduction must:

1. Present the research topic and its relevance.
2. Include a review of relevant and recent literature (ideally within the last 5 years).
3. Identify research gaps, contradictions, or unresolved issues.
4. Clearly state the research problem, objectives, context, and unit of analysis.
5. Outline the article’s structure.

Methods. This section must describe the research procedures, methodology, instruments, and data analysis techniques in sufficient detail to support replicability. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches should be justified for their reliability and validity. Qualitative studies must include information on the researcher’s involvement, participants, research setting and duration, data collection methods, and strategies for verifying findings. Subheadings should be incorporated into narrative form rather than formatted as bullet points or numbered lists.

Results and Discussion. The Results and Discussion section must present research findings clearly and concisely, with adequate detail to support the conclusions. The following provisions must be observed:
1. The findings should be presented in a structured and succinct manner, providing sufficient information to support the conclusions.
2. Tables or figures may be included where relevant. However, repetition of the same information in both text and visuals must be avoided. Each table or figure must be accompanied by a clear and descriptive caption placed directly below it.
3. Ensure that each finding is clearly interpreted using standard academic language.
4. All findings must be interpreted using standard academic language that is precise and coherent.
5. Authors are not required to describe the data analysis procedures in full detail, including statistical computations or hypothesis testing. Only the results of these analyses should be presented. Tables and graphs may be used to illustrate the findings, supported by explanatory text and, where appropriate, references to previous studies published in reputable academic journals.

The discussion must demonstrate critical analysis and include the following:
1. A response to the research questions or the stated problem formulation.
2. An explanation of how the findings were generated from the research process.
3. A clear interpretation of the significance of the findings.
4. A comparison of the results with established theories and existing literature.
5. The development of theoretical implications or proposed modifications to existing theories, based on comparison with findings from other studies published in reputable journals.

When interpreting the findings, authors must establish clear links to previous research. Interpretations should be grounded in theoretical perspectives or empirical evidence, especially those published in well-regarded international or national journals indexed by Scopus or Sinta.

Conclusion. The conclusion should summarise the research findings, aligned with the research objectives. Where multiple conclusions are presented, they should be expressed in numbered paragraph form (not bullet points). Authors may also discuss practical implications and recommend areas for further research.

Acknowledgments. This section may be included to acknowledge financial support, institutions, or individuals who contributed to the research without qualifying for authorship.
Tables. Tables must be numbered sequentially as referenced in the text. Titles should be brief and self-explanatory. Footnotes should be placed below the table, using superscript letters for significance and numbers for general notes.
Figures and Images. Figures must be high-resolution, properly scaled, numbered consecutively, and accompanied by captions. Images should not be edited or altered. Colour or greyscale photos must have clear contrast and sufficient detail. Blurred or low-resolution images are not permitted.

Citation and References. JLRI is based on the APA Style referencing style. Authors are advised to use Mendeley or compatible software.

Reference List Requirements:

  1. Arrange entries alphabetically.
  2. All in-text citations must appear in the references section.
  3. At least 15 references must include DOI numbers.
  4. At least 15 references should come from journals with a DOI.
  5. At least 60% of sources must be from journals published within the past five years.
  6. Online sources must include access dates.

Use of Generative AI Tools:
If generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Grammarly, Quillbot, etc.) were used during manuscript preparation, authors must declare such use transparently. These tools must only be used for linguistic support, such as proofreading or paraphrasing. They must not be used to generate substantive content, analyse data, or draw conclusions.

AI tools are not recognised as authors or co-authors. Authors remain fully responsible for verifying and ensuring the accuracy, originality, and integrity of all AI-assisted content. The final manuscript must be free from unverified or misleading information generated by AI systems.

Editorial Integrity and Public Feedback:
JLRI maintains the quality and content of all published articles by ensuring their relevance to the journal’s scope. The editorial team upholds transparency and accountability in accordance with national public service principles. Editors make publication decisions solely based on peer-review results and the academic merit of each submission. JLRI does not permit the use of the LAPOR! mechanism to influence or dispute editorial outcomes. The journal safeguards academic freedom and guarantees editorial independence throughout the publication process.
