TYPES OF MANUSCRIPT

The journal accepts original research articles. An original research article presents original empirical or conceptual findings that have not been published anywhere before. Details, particularly about the research methods, the description of the results, and/or discussions/conclusions are required to make sure that the readers (and referees) have sufficient information to comprehend and benefit from the work. The articles may not contain persuasive arguments justifying policy recommendations or act as a decision-making tool for target audiences.

LANGUAGE

The manuscript must be written in good academic English. Spelling follows Webster’s International Dictionary. To ensure an anonymous review, authors should not identify themselves directly or indirectly in their papers. Single authors should not use the word “we”. Authors for whom English is not their native language are encouraged to have their paper checked for grammar and clarity before submission.

ARTICLE LENGTH

The article should be between 4,000 and 7,000 words. The allowable length of the manuscript is at the editor’s discretion; however, manuscripts that have a word count that is less than or exceeds the preferred number may be returned to the author(s) for revision before the manuscript is considered by the editors. The word count excludes tables, figures, and references.

FORMAT

The manuscripts should be typed in A4 (8.27" x 11.69"), 11-point Calibri and must be double-spaced, except indented quotations. The manuscript must be saved as a word file. All pages, including tables, appendices, and references, should be serially numbered. Spell out numbers from one to ten, except when used in tables and lists, and when used with mathematical, statistical, scientific or technical units and quantities, such as distances, weights, and measures. For instance, four days; 5 kilometers; 25 years. All others numbers are expressed numerically. It is generally required that numbers be in the written form. Percentage and Decimal Fraction, for a non-technical purpose, use percent in the text; for a technical purpose, use % symbol. Authors are encouraged to use the CM-BJ template. The sample template is included at the end of this document.

ARTWORK

Authors must provide high-quality artwork for all illustrations. Poor resolution or definition is not acceptable. All tables and figures (graphs) should be included directly in the appropriate part of the article (not separated). Each table or figure should be numerically numbered separately (Table 1, Table, 2; Figure1, Figure 2) and fully titled, which refers to the contents of the table or figure. Underneath each table and figure, state the reliable source.

EQUATIONS

Equations should be numerically numbered consecutively in parentheses with aligning right margin, and it can use either the same font (Times New Roman) or the formula font.

Y=α+ßX+ε                                     (1)

QUESTIONNAIRES AND EXPERIMENTAL INSTRUMENTS

Manuscripts reporting on field surveys or experiments should include questionnaires, cases, interview plans or other instruments used in the study.

TITLE PAGE

A title page should include article’s title, name (s) of the author(s), affilia­tion(s) and e-mail (s), the abstract, keywords.

ARTICLE TITLE

The title of the article should be concise, informative and describe the article’s content. Write the title using simple and straightforward language that can offer the readers a glimpse of the content with their first glance. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.

AUTHOR’S NAME AND AFFILIATIONS

Provide the full name of each author, and the affiliations of each author at the time the research was completed. Where more than one author has contributed to the article, please provide detailed information on the corresponding author. The detailed information about the author will be placed on ABOUT THE AUTHORS page.

ABSTRACT

The abstract should stand alone, meaning that there is no citation in the abstract. The abstract should concisely inform the reader of the manuscript’s purpose, its research methods, its findings, and its contributions in 100-200 words. The abstract should be relatively nontechnical, yet clear enough for an informed reader to understand the manuscript’s contribution. The manuscript’s title, but neither the author’s name nor other identification designations, should appear on the abstract’s page.

KEYWORDS

Keywords are an important part of abstract writing. Authors should select a minimum of three (3) words and maximum of five keywords that are specific and reflect what is essential about the article. Keywords and the article classification should be provided right after the abstract. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.

MAIN ARTICLE

Manuscripts submitted to this journal should have the main headings:

1). Introduction;

2). Method, Data, and Analysis;

3). Result

4) Discussion;

5). Conclusion;

6). Recommandation

7). Acknowledgment (if any) and

8). Reference.

Authors may use some flexible terms for the subheadings following the main heading. Authors are encouraged to use cakrawala management business journal [CM-BJ] manuscript template.

INTRODUCTION

What is the purpose of the study? Why are you conducting the study? The main section of the article should start with an introductory section which provides more details about the paper’s purpose, motivation, research methods and findings. The introduction should be relatively nontechnical, yet clear enough for an informed reader to understand the manuscript’s contribution.

The “introduction” in the manuscript is important to demonstrate the motives of the research. It analyzes the empirical, theoretical and methodological issues in order to contribute to the extant literature. This introduction will be linked with the following parts, most noticeably the literature review.

Explaining the problem’s formulation should cover the following points: (1) Problem recognition and its significance; (2) clear identification of the problem and the appropriate research questions; (3) coverage of problem’s complexity; and (4) well-defined objectives.

The second part, “Literature Review” investigates the gap that will be exposed and solved. The flow of all the ideas is required to be clear, linked, well-crafted and well developed. It serves as the source of the research’s question and especially the base or the hypotheses that respond to the research objective. We advise using use current and primary sources from trusted international references (top tier-journals).

METHOD, DATA, AND ANALYSIS

The third part of the manuscript, “Method, Data, and Analysis” is designed to describe the nature of the data. The method should be well elaborated enhancing the model, the analysis approach and the steps taken. Equations should be numbered as we illustrate.

This section typically has the following sub-sections: Sampling (a description of the target population, the research context, and units of analysis; the sampling itself; and the respondents’ profiles); data collection; and measures (or alternatively, measurements).

The research methodology should cover the following points: (1) A concise explanation of the research methodology is prevalent; (2) reasons to choose particular methods are well described; (3) research design is accurate; (4) the sample design is appropriate; (5) data collection processes are proper; and (6) data analysis methods are relevant and state-of-the-art.

RESULT

The results of the study contain data and processed data based on the analysis used. recommended in the form of tables and images.

DISCUSSION

The author needs to report the results in sufficient detail so that the reader can see which statistical analysis was conducted and why, and later to justify the conclusions.

CONCLUSION

In this section, the author presents brief conclusions from the results of the research with suggestions for advanced researchers or general readers. A conclusion may cover the main points of the paper, but do not replicate the abstract in the conclusion. Authors should explain the empirical and theoretical benefits, the economic benefits, and the existence of new findings. AND IMPLICATION/LIMITATION AND SUGGESTION : The author must present any major flaws and limitations of the study, which could reduce the validity of the writing, thus raising questions from the readers (whether, or in what way), the limits in the study may have affected the results and conclusions. Limitations require a critical judgment and interpretation of the impact of their research. The author should provide the answer to the question: Is this a problem caused by an error, or in the method selected, or the validity, or something else?

ACKNOWLEDGMENT (if any)

Author (s) may acknowledge a person or organization that helped him/her/them in many ways. Please use the singular heading even if you have many acknowledgments.

REFERENCE

In this section, author (s) must list all the reference documents cited in the text. In writing the reference, the author(s) are recommended to use reference management tools, such as Mendeley. The citation and reference list should follow the American Psychological Association (APA) referencing style (6^th edition). Otherwise, please follow the format of the sample references and citations as shown in this guide.  

Authors are encouraged to cite manuscripts mainly from primary source publications (journals) from the last ten years. In addition, authors should avoid excessively referencing their own work (self-citation).

A basic format to list the reference documents as follows:

1. The reference list is arranged in alphabetical order by the authors’ last names
2. If there is more than one work by the same author, order them by publication date, oldest to newest.
3. If there is no author the title moves to that position and the entry is alphabetized by the first significant word, excluding words such as “A” or “The”. If the title is long, it may be shortened when citing in the text.
4. The first line of the reference list entry is left-hand justified, while all subsequent lines are consistently indented.
5. Use “&” instead of “and” when listing multiple authors of a source.
6. Capitalize only the first word of the title and of the subtitle, if there is one, plus any proper names – i. e. only those words that would normally be capitalized.
7. Italicize the title of the book, the title of the journal/serial and the title of the web document.
8. For any non-English articles, please write down the translation of the article in brackets [ ] after the original article’s title. Note that the original article should be written in italics.
9. Do not create separate lists for each type of information source.
