Author Guidelines 

The Indonesian Journal of Educational Research and Review (IJERR) welcomes submissions that contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of education, with a particular emphasis on Indonesian values, culture, and character education. To ensure a smooth submission process and uphold the academic integrity of the journal, the following author guidelines should be followed:

MANUSSCRIPT CATEGORIZATION

Authors are required to categorize their manuscript during the submission process. The category that most accurately reflects the focus of the manuscript should be selected from the list below:

  • Research Article:
    This category involves the construction or testing of a model or framework, action research, empirical studies, market research, data testing, scientific experiments, or laboratory research. It includes original investigations and experiments that contribute new knowledge to the field.

  • Literature Review:
    This category provides a comprehensive summary of existing research on a particular topic, presenting an overview of the current state of the field and its future direction. Literature reviews typically include a detailed analysis and synthesis of primary sources (usually citing around 100 references), offering valuable insights for researchers looking for an in-depth understanding of the topic.

  • Technical Paper:
    This category describes and evaluates technical products, processes, or services. It may focus on new developments or improvements in technology, as well as technical applications in various fields, and is meant for professionals seeking detailed technical insights.

  • Conceptual Paper:
    Conceptual papers are not based on empirical research but instead focus on developing hypotheses or theoretical frameworks. These papers typically engage in philosophical discussions, comparative studies, and theoretical explorations of existing work or ideas in the field.

  • Case Study:
    A case study describes actual interventions or experiences within organizations or specific settings. These may include subjective observations and do not generally involve formal research. Case studies often focus on practical examples, legal cases, or hypothetical scenarios used as teaching tools or applied learning exercises.
