  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.

Author Guidelines

1. General Requirements

  • Originality: The article must be original, free from any form of plagiarism, and not currently under consideration for publication in another journal.
  • Language & Formatting: Written in standard Indonesian or English. Microsoft Word format, A4 paper size. For layout convenience, authors are encouraged to use the Manuscript Template of JSQ.
  • Layout: Text must be 1.5 spaced, justified (aligned left and right), with a 1 cm paragraph indentation.
  • Font: Main text uses Times New Roman, size 12. Arabic text must use Sakkala Majjala, size 16.
  • Length: The manuscript should be between 15 and 30 pages (including references).
  • Submission: Manuscripts must be submitted through the JSQ official OJS portal.

2. Article Structure

The article should be structured sequentially as follows:

  • Title: Concise, specific (maximum 15 words), Times New Roman 12, bold, centered.
  • Author Information: Names (without academic titles), Prodi/Faculty/Affiliation, and email address.
  • Abstract & Keywords: Must be in both Indonesian and English. Written as a single paragraph (English: 100-200 words; Indonesian: 100-150 words) covering the problem, objectives, methods, and results. Provide 3 to 5 keywords or phrases.
  • Introduction: Covers background, research problem, objectives, theoretical framework, and relevant literature.
  • Research Methods: Describe the research design, subjects/population, data collection, and analysis techniques.
  • Results and Discussion: Present findings clearly with scientific interpretation. Use numbered subtopics (1, 2, ...) and sub-subtopics (a, b, ...).
  • Conclusion: Summarize key findings, address research questions, and provide recommendations.

3. Tables, Figures, and Images

  • Formatting: Labels and titles must be centered, bold, and font 12.
  • Content & Sources: Table content uses font 8-11, single-spaced. Sources and notes for tables/figures must be placed below them, centered, using Times New Roman 11.
  • Requirement: All tables and figures must be actively cited and discussed in the text.

4. Citation and Referencing Style

  • System: JSQ strictly uses the footnote system based on the Turabian 8th Edition. Bodynote or endnote is not permitted.
  • Reference Manager (mandatory): All footnotes and the bibliography must be inserted and generated with a reference management application, either Zotero or Mendeley Reference Manager (both free). Manually typed footnotes and bibliographies are not accepted.
  • Style Setting: In the Word plugin (Zotero Connector for Word or Mendeley Cite), select the citation style Turabian 8th edition (full note). If your software inserts "Ibid." for repeated citations, switch to a Turabian variant that uses shortened notes (author and short title).
  • Footnote Formatting: Must include full author name, title (italicized), place of publication, publisher, year, and page.
  • Repeated Citations: Use short titles; do not use ibid., op.cit., or loc.cit.
  • Bibliography: Only include sources cited in the footnotes. Every footnote must have a matching bibliography entry, and every bibliography entry must be cited in a footnote. Include the DOI (as https://doi.org/...) wherever one is available. 80% of references should be primary sources from the last 10 years.
  • Anonymization: Before submission, remove author-identifying information from the document properties. Self-citations should be written in the third person.

5. Transliteration & Islamic References

  • Transliteration: Arabic-to-Latin transliteration must follow the Library of Congress (LoC) guidelines using the Times New Arabic font.
  • Qur'an: Include surah name, surah number, and verse number in brackets, e.g., (QS al-Mu'min [40]:43).
  • Hadith: Mention the narrator (e.g., HR al-Bukhari) and refer to standard books (Kutub Tis'ah).

6. Additional Sections

  • Conflict of Interest: Authors must disclose any potential conflicts as per our Ethics Statement or explicitly state: "The authors declare no conflict of interest."
  • Funding: Authors must specify financial support or state: "No funding was received for this research."
  • Acknowledgments: Brief gratitude for technical or financial support.

7. Manuscript Assessment Process

Any accepted manuscript will be reviewed by at least two reviewers, alongside editorial comments. The author is required to revise the manuscript according to the reviewers' and editors' comments. The editorial team will then process it for later publication. The review process is summarized in the diagram below (for more details, please go to the Peer Review Process page).
