Author Guidelines

AUTHOR GUIDELINES — JPENSI

The following draft is based on JPENSI’s stated scope and the structure of its published articles. JPENSI publishes research in economics and accounting, including management, investment, taxation, banking, auditing, accounting information systems, and sustainability reporting.

1. General Requirements

1. Manuscripts must present original research or scholarly work relevant to JPENSI’s focus and scope.
2. A manuscript must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration by another journal.
3. Authors are responsible for the originality of their manuscript, the accuracy of the data, and obtaining permission to use copyrighted material.
4. Manuscripts must be prepared using the official JPENSI template. Technical requirements, including page size, margins, font, layout, and manuscript length, must follow the template.
5. Manuscripts may be written in Indonesian or English. Authors should check the latest template for language requirements, as the journal website provides inconsistent information on this point.
6. Manuscripts must be submitted through the JPENSI OJS platform.

2. Manuscript Structure

Manuscripts should generally follow this order:

1. Article title — concise, clear, and representative of the study.
2. Author names — listed without academic titles.
3. Affiliations and email addresses — provide each author’s affiliation and the corresponding author’s email address.
4. Abstract — briefly state the research objective, method, main findings, and conclusion.
5. Keywords — select terms that represent the topic, variables, or research method.
6. Introduction — describe the background, research problem, relevant previous studies, research gap, and study objective.
7. Method — explain the research design, population and sample or informants, data sources and collection techniques, variables or research focus, and analysis method.
8. Results and Discussion — present the findings systematically, use tables or figures where appropriate, and discuss their meaning in relation to relevant literature.
9. Conclusion — answer the research objective or question based on the findings. Recommendations may be included where relevant.
10. References — list all sources cited in the manuscript.

This structure is consistent with JPENSI articles, which commonly include an introduction, method, results and discussion, conclusion, and references, along with author details and article information.

3. Abstract and Keywords

The abstract must be self-contained and briefly summarize the article. It should include:

• the research objective;
• the method or approach;
• the data source or research subject, where relevant;
• the main findings; and
• the conclusion.

Follow the word limit, language, and formatting specified in the JPENSI template. Choose specific keywords and avoid overly broad terms.

4. Tables and Figures

• Number and title each table and figure.
• Refer to every table and figure in the manuscript text.
• Ensure that all numbers, labels, data sources, and notes are clear and readable.
• Cite the source below a table or figure when it is reproduced or adapted from another source, or when required for processed data.

5. Citations and References

• Cite the source of every quotation or data item taken from another work.
• Ensure that every source cited in the text appears in the reference list, and that every item in the reference list is cited in the text.
• Use the citation and reference style specified in the JPENSI template consistently. Published examples use an author–date citation pattern.
• Authors are encouraged to use reference management software such as Mendeley or Zotero.

6. Manuscript Submission

Submit manuscripts through the JPENSI OJS platform. Make sure the submission metadata—title, abstract, keywords, author names, affiliations, and email addresses—matches the manuscript file.
