Author Guidelines

The editor of Arabiyatuna: Jurnal Bahasa Arab welcomes article submissions in accordance with the following guidelines:

1. Articles have not been published or accepted for publication or are being considered for publication elsewhere. In addition to the manuscript, a written statement should be attached which clarifies that the article is original and does not contain any elements of plagiarism.

2. Types of articles suitable for publication include the following: research reports (laboratory, field, and archives), conceptual ideas, studies, theory applications.

3. Articles are written in Arabic or English using academic language along with standard academic writing structure and composition. Manuscripts are typed 1 spaced in a quarto paper size (B5), between 6000-8000 words in length including references, pictures, and tables. Papers that greatly exceed this will be critically reviewed with respect to length.

4. Articles should be in form of essay which includes:

• Title (The title of the article should contain as few words as feasible while still accurately summarizing its substance)
• Abstract (250-300 words for each) (which includes research Introduction, problems, methods, and results)
• Keywords (3-5 words),
• Introduction (without subsection, 5-7 pages) which includes background, objectives, methods, and literature reviews/theoretical construct (if needed) of the research. The introduction section ends with an emphasis on items to be discussed,
• Result and Discussion (consists of result of the study, written in the form of subchapter(s)),
• Conclusion (is a brief summary of findings and discussion. It is strongly recommended to avoid mere repetitive statements from the previous sections) and
• References. (min. 20 references).

5. Diacritics and Spelling of Proper Names In order to be reproduced accurately in printed version, articles must be aware of any special (e.g., phonetic) symbols. They must be explained in detail with a typeset sample as well. To deal with this issue, (name of journal) recommends authors to use Times New Roman font, but if this font does not support some symbols, authors are allowed to use other alternatives with notification to the Arabiyatuna: Jurnal Bahasa Arab board. Authors must be aware of the spelling of proper names, especially in terms of Indonesian personal names, newspapers, offices, and organizations. They have to be written as their original spelling although they might be now outdated, for example: Sukarno, Soeharto, Poerbatjaraka, Ki Hadjar Dewantara, Zoetmulder, and Margono Djojohadikusumo. Meanwhile, any geographical names should be written in their modern spellings.

6. Dates and Numbers Dates in the text: 17 August 1945; dates in footnotes and the bibliography: 17-8-1945. Numbers from one to ten should be spelled out; higher numbers, percentages and measurements should be given as numerals (3 km, 6%).

7. Figures, Tables and Maps If your manuscript contains figures or tables, upload them as separate documents, number the figures and tables consecutively, and refer to them in the text (Figure 1, Figure 2, Table 1, Table 2, etc.). Do not include the figures and tables themselves in the manuscript. Indicate in the manuscript where about you would like to see the figure or table included if the manuscript is accepted for publication. Maps can be called a figure (and numbered as such). For all images (line drawings, photographs, maps), please use high resolution source files: min. 150 dpi for photographs, min 300 dpi for linework images. This is the minimum resolution required at the dimensions of which the images should eventually be reproduced. Please bear in mind that the images themselves should also be of high quality (e.g. the images should be clear and sharp and any text in the images should be sharp and legible). Give the caption and the source of the figure in the main text (exactly at the point where you indicate: ‘Figure x about here’).

8. Reference list format is based on APA (American Psychological Association) style 6th edition. The reference list should appear at the end of the article and includes only literature actually cited in the manuscripts. References are ordered alphabetically and chronologically. We strongly recommend authors to use reference tools, such as Mendeley, Zotero, Endnote, etc. Herewith are some of the APA-based references format structure:
