Author Guidelines

PAEDAGOGIA welcomes submissions of original research manuscripts in the field of education from authors across the globe. Submissions must reflect the authors’ own work, and authors must hold the copyright to the manuscript or have received explicit authorization from the copyright holder. The journal particularly encourages articles that align with its specific areas of interest as outlined in the Focus and Scope section, which details the educational topics and subfields the journal aims to promote.

Author Responsibilities

  • Authors are expected to submit manuscripts that present well-conducted, original research and contribute significantly to the field of education. Manuscripts must be written in English and adhere to academic and ethical standards.
  • All authors listed on a manuscript must have made a significant contribution to the research and have agreed to be named in the submitted version. Authors cannot be added or removed, and their order cannot be changed after submission.
  • All manuscripts must be submitted via the PAEDAGOGIA online submission system in Microsoft Word format (.doc or .docx). The manuscript must conform to the official journal template, which can be downloaded here.

Before submission, authors must:

  • Professionally proofread their manuscript. To support authors in this process, Paedagogia recommends the use of a third-party proofreading service, available for a fee of IDR 500,000. This service helps ensure that the manuscript meets academic standards, thereby significantly improving the chances of passing the initial editorial screening.
  • Ensure all citations and references are correctly formatted and complete.
  • Ensure clarity, coherence, and correct academic language throughout.
  • Disclose any conflicts of interest.
  • Ensure ethical treatment of human subjects and acquire informed consent.
