1. General Format
Article text should be between 3,000 and 10,000 words. Longer manuscripts may be considered with the approval of the editorial board. All submissions should be in
*.doc or *.docx format. If you are using Microsoft Word, you can download the
Article Template. It should contain the following information:
a. Author Information
Author(s), institutional affiliation(s), country(ies), and email address(es).
b. Title, Abstract, and Keywords
Abstract and keywords should be provided in both Indonesian and English.
c. Main Text
The main text should be organized according to the nature and methodology of the article. For research articles, the main text generally includes Introduction, Theoretical Framework (if any), Methods, Results, Discussion (or Result and Discussion), and Conclusion. Authors may adapt the structure as appropriate for historical, educational, or other scholarly approaches.
d. Acknowledgements
Where applicable, authors may acknowledge individuals, institutions, funding agencies, or other parties that contributed to the research or preparation of the manuscript.
e. Style and Referencing
All references must follow APA 7th edition consistently throughout the manuscript. Manuscripts should follow the writing, formatting, citation, and referencing guidelines provided below.
2. Use of Image
Images, tables, and figures should be inserted in the text rather than placed at the end of the manuscript. CANDI does not distinguish between photographs, images, and maps, etc., all are referred to in text as
“Figure(s)”. Figures should be provided in high resolution (240 dpi or above). There is no limit to the number of figures that can be included in each submission. See the details below.
a. Every figure must have an attribution at the end of the caption. Usually this is in the form of
“(Source: Last Name, year)”.
b. If you created the figure, then you are the copyright holder. Simply put your last name as the source and the year the image was created.
c. If the image is from a published work, such as from a book or a journal article, then you will need to provide the attribution
“(Source: Last Name, year, page number)” and also cite it in the references.
d. If an image is obtained from the internet, authors must ensure that they have the right to reproduce and publish it and must provide appropriate attribution. You still will need to provide the attribution
“(Source: Last Name, year)” and also cite it in the references.
e. Authors take responsibility for the figures’ copyright status.
3. Language and Spelling
Manuscripts written in Indonesian should follow the applicable
Indonesian spelling and writing conventions (EYD). Articles that substantially fail to comply with these conventions may be returned to the authors for revision.
Manuscripts written in English may follow either
American English or British English. Authors should use their chosen variety consistently throughout the manuscript. Pay attention to the correct grammar and spelling. Articles that substantially fail to comply with these conventions may be returned to the authors for revision.
4. References
CANDI uses the
American Psychological Association (APA), 7th edition as its referencing style. Authors are responsible for ensuring that all sources cited in the manuscript are included in the reference list and that every work listed in the reference list is cited in the manuscript. Authors should also ensure that all bibliographic information is accurate, complete, and consistently formatted according to APA 7th edition.
The following basic principles should be observed when preparing references:
a. Author
List the author’s surname followed by the initials of the given name(s). For works with up to 20 authors, list all authors in the reference entry. For works with 21 or more authors, list the first 19 authors, followed by an ellipsis (...), and then the final author.
b. Date
The year of publication is placed in parentheses after the author’s name. For sources that include a more specific publication date, such as newspaper articles and webpages, the year, month, and day should be provided when available.
c. Title
Titles of books, reports, theses, dissertations, and other standalone works are written in
sentence case and italicized. Titles of journal articles, book chapters, and other parts of a larger work are written in sentence case without italics.
d. Source Information
Depending on the type of source, include relevant information such as the publisher, journal title, volume, issue, page range, DOI, or URL.
e. DOI and URL
When available, a DOI should be included in URL format (https://doi.org/xxxxx). A DOI takes precedence over a URL. Retrieval dates are generally not required unless the content is designed to change over time.
f. Consistency
All references must follow APA 7th edition consistently throughout the manuscript.

For historical articles that use primary sources, authors may provide additional source information or organize primary sources separately where appropriate, provided that the citation and reference details remain consistent with APA 7th edition.
Authors are required to use reference management software such as
Mendeley when preparing citations and reference lists. However, authors remain responsible for checking automatically generated references and ensuring that all references comply with APA 7th edition.
5. Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools
CANDI recognizes that authors may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to assist in the preparation of manuscripts, including for translation, language editing, grammar checking, and improving clarity and readability. Such use is permitted provided that it does not replace the authors’ intellectual contribution or alter the authors’ ideas, arguments, interpretations, or scholarly responsibility.
The use of AI tools in any stage of manuscript preparation must be disclosed by the authors. Authors should clearly state the name of the AI tool(s) used and describe how the tool(s) were used. This disclosure should be provided in the manuscript or in the manner specified by the journal at the time of submission. AI tools must not be used to generate or fabricate research data, historical evidence, analyses, or references. Authors remain fully responsible for verifying the accuracy, originality, integrity, and ethical compliance of all content in the manuscript, including content produced or assisted by AI tools. AI tools do not meet the criteria for authorship and must not be listed as authors.
Editors and peer reviewers may request clarification regarding the use of AI tools in the preparation of a manuscript. Undeclared or inappropriate use of AI, or failure to comply with this policy, may be considered a breach of publication ethics and may result in manuscript rejection, correction, retraction, or other appropriate editorial action.
