Apa guide to preparing manuscripts for journal publication manual#
Authors who are not familiar with these components are advised to refer to Gaya Dewan (Fourth Edition, Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, 1999) and the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA) (Sixth Edition, 2010). Without these three parts, the manuscript is considered incomplete. Authors should ensure that their manuscripts contain three parts, i.e., Preliminaries, text and back matter. Authors should ensure that each page of the text conforms to the standard margins, i.e. The total number of pages should not be less than 100 pages. The manuscript should be neatly, cleanly and consistently typed on single-sided A4-size paper, double-spaced using 12-point Times New Roman font. Authors are advised to use Microsoft Word (latest version) on either a Macintosh or PC. To ensure that the pre-press process proceeds smoothly, authors (or editors) are requested to prepare their manuscripts according to this guide.
