Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submitted manuscript has not been previously published, nor has it been submitted to another journal for consideration (or provide an explanation in the Comments to Editors field for consideration).
  • The author is willing to follow the entire editing process until the manuscript is declared accepted or rejected for publication. If you want to stop this process, the author must notify the editor via email to withdraw the article before entering the peer-review process.
  • The submission file is in Microsoft Word (Maximum 15 pages length) in A4 paper size with top, left, right, and bottom margins of 2,54 cm. The indented paragraph size is 0.5 cm. The text in the sentence is typed with a space of 1.2 cm. Additional files are uploaded as supplementary.
  • The text is written in Arial font; use a 10-point font; use italics if there are foreign terms/words, not underscores (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed in the text at the appropriate point, not at the end.
  • Make sure you use Mendeley to help with referencing. Guidelines for using Mendeley as a reference manager are provided. Failure to follow the guidelines may result in rejection of your manuscript.
  • Authors are bound by our Plagiarism Policy, therefore careful consideration should be made before submitting an article. Under any circumstances, if JLPF finds an article has been or is published elsewhere that is identical to one published in another journal, we will retract the article following COPE guidelines on article retraction and notify the author.

Author Guidelines

The article should be prepared in the form of a softcopy written in A4 paper size and a single column, with a margin of top = 2.54 cm, bottom = 2.54 cm, and side = 1.90 cm. The paragraph indentation size is 0.5 cm. The text in the sentence is typed with a 1.2 cm space, font type Arial, and font size 10 pt.
 
The manuscript should consist of not more than 4500 words or 15 pages, including tables and figures.
 
A review of the article is conducted to review whether the article meets the standard of quality criteria to be published. The manuscript will be directly rejected by editors without giving any formal reviews if: 1) the topic is not suitable to the scope of the journal, 2) the results are less beneficial, 3) the scope and purpose are not deeply formulated, 4) the findings do not improve the scientific knowledge, 5) the article is not written completely.  Reviewers will review eligible manuscripts for two weeks then reviewers' notes will be delivered to authors three weeks after the first submission. Authors should send the article revision to the editor a week after receiving the reviewers' notes.
 
The structure of the manuscript should consist of the following items:
1. Title
2. Abstract
3. Introduction
4. Method
5. Results
6. Discussion
6. Conclusion
7. Acknowledgment (if any)
8. References
 
Mathematics formulas should be created by using the Microsoft equation program. Variables are italicized, and units are written in SI (not italicized).
 
The figure caption must be centered under each figure and in a font size of 9 pt. Captions are written separately, not attached to figures.
 
The table caption is written on top and typed with a 9-point font, Arial, and centered. Table captions with more than one line are typed with a 1 cm space. Horizontal lines in the table are 1 pt wide, while vertical lines are hidden.
 
The title should be clear, concise, and descriptive. Abbreviations and formulas should be avoided. The authors' identities should be written in full by writing the name, institution address, postal code, and email address of the corresponding author.
 
The abstract should be written briefly and factually in two languages, Bahasa and English, with a limit of 150 words. An abstract contains a clear discussion of the research purpose, the results, and the conclusions. The abstract should be written separately from the article. Abstracts should not contain references, but if they are indispensable, the authors' names and publication years should be included. The use of nonstandard abbreviations should be avoided, but if it is necessary, the full name should be specified.
 
The introduction contains the aim of the article/study that is formulated and provided by an adequate introduction and avoids the use of detailed references and the presentation of research results.
 
Methods applied should be provided with references, and any modifications should be described. In a literature review paper, the procedure and data analysis approach should be emphasized.
 
The results part is the most important portion of scientific publications since it contains the outcomes of data analysis and hypothesis testing, and tables or graphs can accompany them to help explain the results verbally.
 
The discussion part should provide the advantage of the research results, not the portion where the results part is repeated.
 
The conclusion of the study is presented briefly in the conclusion part.
 
References in the article should cite the last name and year. If citing some authors, it should be ordered based on the most recent reference. If citing from the article written by two authors, all authors' names should be cited. Meanwhile, if citing from the article written by three or more authors, it is cited by writing the first author's name followed by et al. The citation should be written in the reference part. Every cited reference should be entirely written in the reference part. Unpublished reference is not suggested to be cited in the article. Reference should be written according to the format of the reference. This journal requires 80% of references cited from the last ten years' articles and 80% from research articles or reports.

The manuscript is written without a hyphen (-), except for repeated words. The manuscript is rejected if the material is not suitable to the journal's scope, has poor quality, not following the writing format, contains complicated language, does not have original research, and has unresponsive correspondence.
