Author Guidelines

Authors are required to read and adhere to the PJDIR author's guidelines when preparing their manuscript. Submitted manuscripts that do not adhere to the guidelines or use a different format will be rejected by the editorial team before they can be reviewed. The editorial team will only accept manuscripts that comply with the specified formatting requirements. A new template has been provided and will be effective from August 2023. The authors must use this template as an accurate representation of the format expected by the editor.

PAPER FORMAT

1) The manuscript is typed using Microsoft Word program on A4 size, around 4,000-9,000 words (including abstract and references) in Palatino Linotype, size 11 pts, and 1.15 space.

2) From August 2023, PJDIR will only accept articles written in English. The article can be written in either American or British spelling, but the author must use it consistently throughout the text. The full-English version of PJDIR will be published from Vol 4, No 1 (2024).

3) PJDIR follows APA style guide

4) The writing system for research outcome consists of:

Title

The title should not exceed 20 words; it should be clear, concise, and informative. Abbreviations should be avoided.

Name of the author(s)

The name of the author is written without any academic degree, followed by the name of the author's institution/affiliation, located under the title of the article. In case the manuscript is written by a team, the editor is only in contact with the main author or the first mentioned. The main author must include his/her correspondence address or email.

Abstract with keywords

The length of the abstract is around 150-200 words, while the limit of keywords is 3-5 words. The abstract, at the least, must contain the purpose, methods, findings, and value of the manuscript.

INTRODUCTION

It contains the general background to the topic, research question or hypothesis, and problem formulation. The research purposes should be written at the end of the introduction.

LITERATURE REVIEW OR THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

Choose either a literature review or theoretical framework. A literature review surveys books, scholarly articles, and any other sources relevant to a particular issue, area of research, or theory; and by so doing, provides a description, summary, and critical evaluation of these works in relation to the research problem being investigated. Meanwhile, the theoretical framework sheds light on the theories or models that support your research, proving that your work is grounded in established ideas. In certain circumstances, however, you can use both of them. 

METHODS

Explain chronological research, including how to prepare materials research, design of the study, and research procedures. The minimum research method consists of research type, type and source of data, data collection techniques, and data analysis techniques.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

It contains the results and analysis done with an emphasis on the answer to the problems. (Results may also include images, charts, tables, etc., which are described in the paper). In general, total of no more than 8 figures and tables in the article

CONCLUSION

The conclusion should contain a summary of the article and key findings, as well as a re-statement of the research problem. Do not repeat the abstract or introduction, or make new arguments.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS (IF APPLICABLE)

The source of financial grants and other funding must be acknowledged. The contribution of colleagues or institutions should also be acknowledged
