Author Guidelines

The article manuscript must be submitted online via our website of the International Journal of Educational Best Practices (IJEBP). Author(s) needs to register first to be able to do the submission.
-
The manuscript is typed in Microsoft Word and the font being used is Times New Roman size 12. (see: Article Template)
-
The number of words should be 2500 - 7000 excluding appendices.
-
British or American spelling can be used, but it must be consistent throughout the article.
-
The article should be completed with the name of the author, email, and institution.
-
Research-based articles will be prioritised; viewpoint/argumentative research articles, however, will also be considered for publication.
-
For a research-based article, the outline consists of 8 sections without numbers: Abstract + keywords, Introduction, Method(s), Findings, Discussion, Conclusion (and Recommendation), The Author, References + Appendix (optional).
-
The abstract should not exceed 250 words.
-
The introduction section talks about 4 points: background or context, literature review, gap + possible contribution(s) to knowledge and research objective(s). These subsections do not have to be titled.
-
Quotation and references should follow APA 7th style. It is highly recommended that authors use Reference Managers applications such as Mendeley, EndNote, Zotero, or others in managing the references.
