Author Guidelines

Jurnal Pakar Manajemen (JPM) · e-ISSN 3064-0199 · Requirements synchronized with the official article template

Use the official templatePrepare the manuscript in the current JPM article template and submit it through OJS as an editable DOCX file. The title-page file contains author identities; the main manuscript used for double-anonymized review must not contain names, affiliations, email addresses, acknowledgments, document properties, or other identifying information.

Scope, Originality, and Language

  • Submit original work that has not been published as a Version of Record and is not under consideration by another journal. Disclose related preprints, theses, conference papers, reports, datasets, or earlier versions to the editor.
  • The manuscript must fit JPM's Focus and Scope. This page does not repeat the journal's subject list.
  • Manuscripts may be written in Indonesian or English. Authors are responsible for clear academic language and consistent terminology.

Files and Length

  • Upload an editable Microsoft Word DOCX main manuscript prepared with the official JPM template. PDF, RTF, and OpenOffice files are not accepted as the primary manuscript.
  • The complete article should normally not exceed 14 pages, including references, tables, figures, notes, and appendices, unless the editor has approved a justified exception.
  • Upload a separate title page containing the full title, complete author names and order, affiliations, countries, institutional email addresses, ORCID identifiers, corresponding-author details, and acknowledgments.

Title, Abstracts, and Keywords

  • Provide Indonesian and English titles. Each title must be concise, informative, and no more than 18 words.
  • Provide Indonesian and English abstracts, each in one paragraph of 200–250 words. Each abstract states the problem or background, objective, method, principal findings, and conclusion or contribution.
  • Do not place citations, footnotes, tables, figures, or unexplained abbreviations in an abstract. Provide 3–5 specific keywords below each abstract.

Article Organization

For an empirical research article, use the following order. A systematic review, conceptual paper, or case study may adapt the body headings when the method and article type are stated transparently and the editor agrees, but the title, abstracts, declarations, and references remain mandatory.

  1. Indonesian and English titles; author metadata on the separate title page only.
  2. Indonesian abstract and keywords; English abstract and keywords.
  3. Introduction: background, research problem or question, gap, contribution, and objective.
  4. Literature Review or Theoretical Framework and hypotheses/propositions where applicable.
  5. Method: design, setting, population/sample or data sources, instruments/measures, procedure, validity or trustworthiness, ethics, and analysis.
  6. Results and Discussion: report the evidence clearly, interpret it without duplication, relate it to prior scholarship, and state limitations and implications.
  7. Conclusion and Recommendations: answer the objective without introducing unsupported claims.
  8. Acknowledgments where applicable; required declarations; and References.

Tables, Figures, Equations, and References

  • Number every table and figure consecutively, cite it in the text, place it near its first mention, and provide a concise title, explanatory notes, and source or permission information where required.
  • Create equations with an equation editor and number them consecutively when cited. Images and charts must remain legible at publication size and must not contain misleading alteration.
  • Use APA Style, 7th edition. Every in-text citation must appear in the reference list and every listed reference must be cited. Add a DOI in https://doi.org/... format or a stable URL where available; prioritize relevant, primary, and current sources.

Required Declarations

  • Generative AI use: identify substantive use, tool/provider, version or access date where available, purpose, and human verification; retain the no-use statement when applicable.
  • Author contributions: describe each author's accountable scholarly role.
  • Funding: identify the funder, grant number, and funder role, or state that no specific funding was received.
  • Conflict of interest: disclose relevant financial and nonfinancial interests, or state that none exist.
  • Research ethics and consent: provide the approving or exempting body, reference number, date/year, and consent/privacy arrangements where applicable. Reviewers and editors do not grant ethics approval or exemption.
  • Data availability: state the repository and DOI/URL, reasonable-request conditions, justified access restriction, or that no new data were created or analyzed.

Submission, Revision, and Rights

  • Submit only through JPM OJS Submissions; email is used for support or journal correspondence, not as a parallel submission route.
  • A revision must include a clean manuscript, a marked version when requested, and a point-by-point response explaining every change or reasoned disagreement. Follow the deadline in the decision letter or request an extension before it expires.
  • Authors retain copyright and grant JPM the right of first publication. Published articles use Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0).
  • The template's declarations and instructions form part of these guidelines. If a website summary conflicts with the current template or a dedicated journal policy, the editor must correct the inconsistency before applying the requirement.
