Author Guidelines

Guideline for Authors

Title

Paper’s Title Should be The Fewest Possible Words that Accurately Describe The Content of The Paper (Align left, Bold, 14pt)

A B S T R A C T (11 pt)

An abstract is often presented separate from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. A well-prepared abstract enables the reader to identify the basic content of a document quickly and accurately, to determine its relevance to their interests, and thus to decide whether to read the document in its entirety. The abstract should be informative and completely self-explanatory, provide a clear statement of the problem, the proposed approach or solution, and point out major findings and conclusions. References should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Standard nomenclature should be used, and non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself. No literature should be cited. (9 pt)

Keywords

The keyword list provides the opportunity to add 5 to 7 keywords, used by the indexing and abstracting services, in addition to those already present in the title (9 pt).


1. INTRODUCTION (12pt) [Heading 1)

The introduction includes, among others, the background of the problem, the deepening of the problem, or the gap between the idealized and the actual, supported by the latest theories and research relevant to the problem, has new research value (or benefits) which are innovations, and ends with the research objectives (Arshad et al., 2016). (12 pt).

2. METHOD (12pt)

The method consists of research design (methods, data, data sources, data collection techniques, data analysis techniques, variable measurements) which are outlined in paragraphs. Methods should be written short, concise, clear, but sufficient so that they can be replicated. This section contains the research approach, subject, implementation procedure, use of tools, materials, and instruments, as well as data collection and analysis techniques, but not in the form of theory (Bandura, 2020). (12 pt).

If deemed necessary, there is an attachment regarding the lattice of the instrument or fragments of the material used (Bacq et al., 2017). If there are statistical formulas used, the commonly used formulas do not need to be written. All specific provisions set by the researcher in order to collect and analyze data are described in this method section. This section is written up to a maximum of 10% (for qualitative research) or a maximum of 15% (for quantitative research) from the body of the article (Huyghe et al., 2016).

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION (12pt)

To facilitate understanding and reading, the research results are described first and then followed by discussion (Drnovšek et al., 2010). The results and discussion subtitles are presented separately. This section must be the most part, at least 60% of the entire body of the article (Saraih et al., 2018).

3.1. Results (12pt) (Heading 2)

Results can be presented in the form of numerical tables, graphs, verbal descriptions, or a combination of the three (Setiawan, Widjaja, et al., 2020). Tables, graphs, or pictures should not be too long, too large, or too numerous. Writers should use a variety of presentation tables, graphs, or verbal descriptions.

3.1.1. Good Article (12pt) (Heading 3)

The tables and graphs presented should be referenced in the text. The way of writing the table is shown in Table 1. The table does not contain vertical (vertical) lines and horizontal (flat) lines only exist at the head and tail of the table. The font size for tables and figures can be reduced. The numbers in the table should not be repeated in the verbal narrative either before or after (Setiawan, Soetjipto, et al., 2020).

Figures are written in the following format. For scripts written in Indonesian, thousands  are written out using periods; for example: 1200300 is written as 1.200.300. Decimal points are  marked with a comma followed by two number digits; e.g.: 12,34. For figures lower than 1, the  zero must be written; e.g.: 0,12 (Hasanah et al., 2021). 

For scripts written in English, thousands are marked using commas; e.g.: 1200300 is  written as 1,200,300. Decimal points are marked with a period followed by two number digits;  e.g.: 12.34. For figures lower than 1, the zero is not needed; e.g.: .12.  

For mathematical symbols or notations, the alphabet is italicized, but Greek letters are  written upright using the correct symbols. The equal sign is given a punch space before and after;  e.g. (English format): r = .456; p = .008. For statistical values having degrees of freedom such as  t, F, atau Z, the figure of the degree of freedom is written in braces such as t(52) = 1.234; F(1, 34)  = 4.567. Statistical calculation for hypothesis testing should be completed with effect sizes; for  example: the t-test using cohen’s d, the F-test using partial eta squared, or other post-hoc tests in  line with the references under consideration.  

For qualitative research, findings should substantially be presented in a condensed  report based on the results of a rigorous qualitative data analysis. Tables, diagrams, charts, or  other data visualizations maybe presented to facilitate ease of reading. Authentic evidence  from empirical data (e.g., excerpts from interview transcripts, field-notes, documents) should  be presented in a reasonable amount of texts that do not surpass the authors’ statements on  their findings. 

3.2 Discussion (12pt)

The discussion is intended to interpret and interpret the research results in accordance with the theory used and not just to explain the findings. The discussion must be enriched by referring to or comparing the results of previous studies that have been published in reputable scientific journals and not from predatory journals. In the discussion, it is also suggested that it contains the integration of research results into a collection of established theories or knowledge, the preparation of new theories, modifications of existing theories, and the implications of research results.

4. CONCLUSION (12pt)

Conclusions are not just repeating data, but in the form of substance of meaning. It can be a statement of what is expected, as stated in the "Introduction" chapter which can eventually lead to the "Results and Discussion" section so that there is compatibility. Moreover, it can also be added prospects for the development of research results and prospects for further research applications in the future (based on the results and discussion). 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS (12pt)

This section contains acknowledgments to sponsors, fund donors, resource persons, or parties who play a very important role in the implementation of the research. If mentioning the name of a person or institution as a thank you, the author must ask permission from him. The author does not need to write thanks to the editor.

Template and Prior-submission Checklist (DOWNLOAD HERE)


JEE requires articles to use Reference Manager (Mendeley, Zotero, or EndNote)

Ensure that your manuscript has a plagiarism or similarity index of less than 20%. Please also attach the plagiarism or similarity test report as a supplementary file in the submission.


Submission, Initial Assessment and Peer Review

Journal Econommics Education and Entrepreneurship (JEE) has a fully web-based system for the submission and review of manuscripts. Submissions should be prepared in accordance with the Author Guidelines and uploaded to https://ppjp.ulm.ac.id/journals/index.php/jee/user/register.

Manuscripts may be returned to authors without a scientific assessment if they do not meet all submission requirements, if they are not in the correct format, or cannot be downloaded reliably.

Submissions must represent the original and independent work of the authors. Each new submission is assessed by one or more editors to determine whether it falls within the general remit of JEE. We will reject a manuscript without review if it contains insufficient of JEE focus and Scope; does not have clear application to JEE focus and Scope; is mainly concerned with developing and advancing methodology and not primarily with the application of these methods to JEE focus and Scope; there are substantive issues with the design, methodology, or data quality; it exceeds our word limit or is incorrectly formatted; it is poorly presented and unclear.

Manuscripts that pass the initial assessment are assigned to a subject expert in our team of Associate Editors to oversee the review process. All papers are subject to peer review and authors can expect a decision, or an explanation for the delay, within a month of receipt. If a revision is invited, the corresponding author should submit the revised manuscript within 2 weeks. The final decision is taken by one of the senior editors based on the information gained through the peer review process.

Types of decisions: Decline, Resubmit, Revision, Accept 

Decline 

Following peer review, the paper is judged not to be acceptable for publication in JEE and resubmission is not possible. 

Resubmit 

The submitted version of the paper is not acceptable and requires major revision but there is clear potential in the work and JEE is prepared to consider a new version. Authors are offered the opportunity to resubmit their paper as a new submission. Concerns will remain regarding the suitability of the paper for publication until the editors are convinced by the authors that their paper fits the scope and standards of JEE. The resubmitted manuscript will be returned to the original associate editor if at all possible.

Revision

The paper requires changes before a final decision can be made. Authors are asked to modify their manuscript in light of comments received from referees and editors, and to submit a new version for consideration within 2 weeks of receiving the decision letter. A point-by-point explanation of how comments have been addressed must be supplied with the revised version of the paper. Revisions may undergo further peer review and papers may undergo more than one round of revision. If the authors do not revise their papers to the satisfaction of the editors, the paper can still be declined from publication in JEE.

Final acceptance

The paper is acceptable for publication, subject to conditions that need to be addressed in producing a final version of the manuscript. These may include sub-editing changes and minor amendment to ensure the paper fully matches our criteria. After final checking in the editorial office, acceptance is confirmed and the paper is forwarded to the publishers for publication.

What Happens During Production and Post-Publication?

Contributor’s Publishing Agreement
For articles accepted in the Journal of Economics Education and Entrepreneurship (JEE), authors are required to sign a Journal Contributor’s Publishing Agreement. In subscription-based publication, this agreement typically grants the publisher an exclusive license to publish the work for the full copyright term while the author retains copyright ownership. In certain cases, copyright may instead be transferred to a sponsoring society if required. Authors choosing open-access publication must sign an appropriate Creative Commons license.


Production Process
Once accepted, the production editor will guide authors through each stage until publication. Page proofs will be provided—usually through an editing portal or email—and must be reviewed and returned promptly to prevent delays. Authors should carefully verify all details, including names, affiliations, author order, contact information, funding statements, and conflict-of-interest declarations. This stage represents the final opportunity to make corrections; changes cannot be made after publication, and author list modifications are not permitted at this point.


Post-Publication

Access to Your Article
Authors will receive an online access link to the final published version of their article. The corresponding author may share this link with co-authors and collaborators.

Promoting Your Article
Publication is only the beginning of your article’s impact. Authors are encouraged to actively share and promote their work within academic networks, professional communities, and scholarly platforms to increase visibility, readership, downloads, and citations. Many effective promotion strategies can be implemented quickly through existing professional contacts and communication channels.
