Author Guidelines

Panduan Penulis (Author Guidelines)

  1. The Cita Kara Journal Writer's Guide invites contributions from 4 (four) types of articles of thoughts / reviews, research results (paper or full paper, shot communication, rapid / preliminary), reviews and obituaries. Articles must fall within the scope of the journal outlined in the statement of Focus and Scope.
  2. Submission of a manuscript implies that the paper has not been submitted to or published in any other journal, in the same or similar form, in English or in any other language. Manuscripts previously published in workshop, symposium, or conference can be submitted for consideration provided that the authors inform the editorial office at the time of submission and that the manuscripts have undergone substantial revision.
  3. To facilitate the journal's double-blind peer review process, authors should make efforts to ensure that information about the authors' identities do not appear anywhere in the manuscript. If an author is cited, "Author" and year should be used in the bibliography and footnotes instead of the author's name, paper title, etc. The author's name should also be removed from the document's Properties, which in Microsoft Word is found under the File menu.
  4. Authors should download and use the template file to prepare their manuscripts: Template for Portable Document Format.
