The Guidelines for Writing the Manuscript Content

  1. Articles submitted to AT-THULLAB: Jurnal Pendidikan Guru Madrasah Ibtidaiyah must be research-based, preliminary review results, or original thoughts in the field of elementary education, which have never been published before.
  2. The article title should be within 15 words and give an overview of the research that has been done (short, straightforward, and informative). It must be written in Times New Roman, 12-point font, with single line spacing and 6 pt spacing after.
  3. The author's full name should be written without academic titles and placed directly below the article title. If there is more than one author, list each author on a separate line and indicate the corresponding author sequence using superscript numbering
  4. The author’s institutional affiliation should be written using the official name of the institution where the author is employed or enrolled. For example: Universitas Islam Lamongan, Indonesia.
  5. The email address should be active and must be written under the author's institutional affiliation.
  6. The abstract must be written in both Indonesian and English. It should briefly describe the research problem (optional), research objectives, methods, and findings, with primary emphasis on the research results. Each abstract should be approximately 200 words and typed in single spacing, with narrower left and right margins than the main text.
  7. Provide 3–5 keywords that accurately represent the main topics of the manuscript.
  8. The manuscript should be organized into the following sections: Introduction, Research Method, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, and References.
  9. The Introduction should include the research background and urgency, supporting evidence from previous studies, the research gap, the novelty of the study, and the research objectives. It should be written as a single section without subheadings.
  10. The research method section should include the research design, population and sample, data source(s), data collection technique(s), and data analysis technique(s). The section should be written in paragraph form without subheadings.
  11. The results and discussion section should present the key findings obtained from data collection (e.g., tests, questionnaires, interviews, observations, or documents). The results may be supported by tables, figures, or graphs to enhance clarity; however, avoid presenting the same data in multiple tables or figures. All tables, figures, and graphs should be centered and numbered sequentially. For qualitative research, the results section should be organized into clear subheadings that correspond directly to the research focus and categories. The discussion should answer the research questions, explain how the findings were obtained, interpret the findings, relate them to established theories or existing knowledge, and propose new theoretical insights or refine existing theories. The discussion should emphasize the significance and implications of the findings rather than merely repeating the results and should clearly demonstrate how the study addresses the identified research gap(s).
  12. The conclusion should be presented briefly, narratively, and conceptually, summarizing the main research findings and their implications. Avoid using bullet points, numbering, or other list formats.

The Guidelines for Citation and References

  1. All data and quotations taken from other sources must be properly cited in both the main text and the references section.
  2. It is strongly recommended that authors use reference management software, such as Mendeley, EndNote, Zotero, or the Microsoft Word References tool, for citation and bibliography management.
  3. All in-text citations and references must conform to the APA (American Psychological Association) style.
  4. At least 80% of the references must be derived from primary sources, particularly articles published in reputable national and international scientific journals indexed by Scopus, Web of Science, or SINTA.
  5. The manuscript must include at least 25 references.
  6. The references should primarily be drawn from sources published within the last ten years.
  7. Wikipedia, personal blogs, and non-scientific websites cannot be used as references.

Submission Preparation Checklist

All submissions must meet the following requirements.

  • Manuscripts must be submitted in .doc, .docx, .rtf, or .odt format and prepared in accordance with the journal's author guidelines and article template. Authors are strongly encouraged to use Mendeley for citation and reference management. A guide to using Mendeley as a reference manager is provided. Failure to follow the author guidelines and manuscript template may result in the rejection of the submission.
  • Please ensure that all authors have read and complied with these submission requirements before proceeding with the manuscript submission. Submitted manuscripts must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication in another journal (unless an explanation has been provided in the Comments to the Editor). Manuscripts derived from conference proceedings are eligible for submission only if they have been substantially revised, with at least 35% difference from the original paper, and successfully pass the journal's similarity check. Authors must also comply with the journal's Plagiarism Policy, which permits a maximum similarity index of 20%. Failure to meet these requirements may result in rejection. If the journal subsequently determines that a published article has also been published elsewhere in substantially identical form, the article will be retracted in accordance with the COPE Retraction Guidelines, and the author(s) will be notified.
  • Authors are not advised to withdraw submitted manuscripts after they have completed the publication process (review, copyediting, layout, etc.). During this time, the JOURNAL has spent valuable resources in addition to the time spent in the process.
  • As the journal employs a double-anonymous peer review process, authors must ensure that their manuscripts comply with the Guidelines for Anonymous Peer Review before submission.
  • Please provide your WhatsApp number in the Comments to the Editor field to facilitate communication if the editorial office is unable to contact you via email
