The manuscripts
The manuscript should be an original research paper which sufficiently contributes novelty in the field of mathematics education, physics education, chemistry education and biology education. Authors are requested to submit their papers electronically by using the International Journal of Mathematics and Science Education Research online submission procedure. The corresponding author should also provide a statement that the manuscript is not concurrently being under consideration for publication elsewhere. The Editors will ignore submissions that do not follow these procedures.
Structure of the manuscripts
1. Title. The title should be clear and informative, and not more than 15 words.
2. Author's names and institutions. The author's names should be accompanied by the author's institutions and email addresses, without any academic title. For a joint paper, one of the authors should be notified as the corresponding author.
3. Abstract and keyword. The abstract should be 100 to 150 words. Please provide the abstract in both English and Indonesian versions. The keywords should be of 3 to 5 words or phrases.
4. Introduction. This section explains the background of the study, a review of the previous researches in the area, and aims of the manuscripts. Importantly it should also show the significance and novelty of the research.
5. Methods. This section describes the appropriate tools of analysis along with the data and their sources.
6. Results and Discussion. This section explains the results of the study. It should be presented clearly and concisely. Author(s) should explore the novelty or the contribution of the work to the mathematics education literature.
7. Conclusion. This section concludes and provides policy implications, if any, of the study. The conclusion(s) should be at the same order with ones discussed in the body of the manuscript.
8. References. This section lists only the papers, books, or other types of publications referred to in the body of the manuscript.
General Writing Format
1. The manuscript is prepared in an A4 paper and 1,5 line spacing format. A new paragraph should start 5 characters from the left margin, using 12-size, Cambria font type.
2. The manuscript is written in Indonesian language or English.
3. The manuscript should be between 10 to 15 pages long.
4. The top and bottom margins are 1,5 and 0,8 inch.
5. The title is written using capital letters only at first word or special name (example: location name), 14 font size, center position.
6. Subtitles are written using UPPERCASE BOLD style, 12 font size, starting from the left margin.
7. Sub of subtitles, if any, are written using capital letters only at first word or special name. They should be started from the left margin.
8. References should be those of the last ten years publication (>80%), except for key references (80%). Referring to any textbook should be minimized (<20%).
Specific Writing Format
1. Equations and formula should be numbered as (1), (2)...etc appearing to their right.
2. Estimation results from a software package are not allowed to be directly presented in the paper. They should be presented in summary tables.
Tables and Figures
Tables and figures should be presented as follows:
1. The name of tables and figures should follow a numbering system (Arabic numbering system). The title of the tables and figures are placed at the top and the bottom respectively.
2. The tables and figures should provide the source of information, if any, at the bottom.
3. Any table should contain only heading and contents. The table contains row lines only without column lines. Note(s) and source(s) should be included underneath the table where appropriate.
Citation
Citation in the text body should be written using the family name and years of publication. Example:
a. Research [40] shows that the learning model can....
b. Rodríguez et al. [43] believe that junior high school....
c. .... such as the learning model teachers utilize [8], [9].
References
Citations and references must strictly follow the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) style. References should include only works that are cited within the text of the manuscript. Consulting the IEEE style manual (https://www.ieee.org/documents/ieeecitationref.pdf) is strongly recommended for completing manuscript submissions.
