5. Article Structure (IMRaD)

1. Introduction — background, gap, objective(s).
2. Literature Review (if applicable) — synthesize (not list) recent, high-quality sources.
3. Methods — design, data, instruments, ethics.
4. Results — findings with tables/figures; ensure reproducibility cues.
5. Discussion — interpretation vs prior work, limitations, implications.
6. Conclusions — concise contributions & future work.

• Acknowledgments (optional) — contributors/support not qualifying for authorship.
• Author Contributions (CRediT) — Conceptualization, Methodology, Software, Validation, Formal analysis, Investigation, Resources, Data curation, Writing–original draft, Writing–review & editing, Visualization, Supervision, Project administration, Funding acquisition.
• Funding — grant numbers, funder names.
• Conflict of Interest — disclose any conflicts; otherwise state “The authors declare no conflict of interest.”
• Ethics Approval & Consent — committee name + approval code; informed consent where applicable.
• Trial Registration — for clinical/interventional studies (e.g., ClinicalTrials.gov: NCTxxxxxxx).
• AI Use Disclosure — AI tools, if used, were confined to language editing only; AI systems are not authors.
• Data Availability — repository + DOI/URL; justify restrictions and provide a repository record.

6. Plagiarism & Research Integrity

• Submissions are screened with Turnitin/iThenticate. Similarity index > 20% results in rejection.
• Text recycling/self-plagiarism and redundant publication are prohibited. The journal may request underlying sources to verify originality.

7. References

• Use a reference manager (Zotero/Mendeley/EndNote) and a consistent style (e.g., APA 7th).
• Minimum expectations (subject to article type): ≥ 25 for original research; ≥ 50 for reviews; emphasize recent (≥ 80% within last 5 years), high-quality sources.
• Include DOI links (https://doi.org/…) wherever available. Ensure in-text citations match the reference list.
• Prefer core sources indexed by Scopus/Web of Science when relevant.

8. Data, Code & Materials

• Deposit data, code, and materials (where legally/ethically possible) in trusted repositories (e.g., Zenodo, OSF, Figshare) and provide a persistent identifier (DOI/URL).
• Cite datasets/software in the References using data/software citation formats.
• For sensitive data, provide a restricted-access statement with justification and a repository record.

9. Peer Review

• Double-blind peer review with ≥ 2 independent reviewers.
• Authors may be asked to revise manuscripts; decisions (accept/revise/reject) are communicated with reasons.

10. Indexing, Licensing, Preservation & Metadata

• Accepted articles receive a Crossref DOI and are published under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0).
• The journal participates in long-term preservation (e.g., PKP PN/LOCKSS).
• Rich metadata (license, ORCID, ROR affiliations, funding, references, and — where applicable — data/software citations) are deposited with Crossref; DOI activation occurs before or at online publication.
• Metadata are harvestable via OAI-PMH (base URL: https://journal.fajarpos.com/index/oai).
• Ownership & Management: Published by Nafenzi Press (Support: PT. Jaringan Media Fajarpos).

11. Policies & Compliance

• Preprints: Authors may post preprints; disclose the preprint DOI/URL in the cover letter and manuscript.
• Self-archiving: Archive the accepted manuscript (AAM) in institutional/subject repositories with a link to the version of record (VoR DOI).

• Concerns about editorial decisions or process can be raised to the Editorial Office with evidence and manuscript ID.

• Post-publication issues are handled per COPE guidance: Corrections (honest errors), Retractions (unreliable findings/misconduct), and Expressions of Concern (ongoing investigations).

• Obtain permission for third-party content (figures/tables/images) not under CC BY or not created by the authors, and include proper credit lines.

• Follow discipline-appropriate checklists (e.g., CONSORT, PRISMA, STROBE, SRQR). Upload completed checklists as supplementary files when applicable.

• Provide alt-text for images; ensure figure labels are readable; use accessible table structures; avoid color-only encoding.

12. Submission & Workflow (OJS)

1. Register/Login to OJS and complete your profile (add ORCID and affiliations with ROR).
2. Start a New Submission and fill metadata (title, abstract, keywords, authors & ORCID, affiliations/ROR, funding).
3. Upload files: main manuscript (.docx), figures/tables (source files if requested), supplementary files (data/code, checklists, ethics approvals).
4. Cover Letter: disclose preprint (if any), prior related postings, trial registration, and data availability.
5. Confirm Policies: ethics, conflicts, authorship, AI use (language editing only), and originality.
6. Track editorial and peer-review progress via OJS; respond to revision requests with a point-by-point rebuttal.
