Author Guidelines

Articles should be written in Arabic between 8.000-10.000 Words including text, all tables and figures, notes, references, and appendices. Quotations, passages, and words in languages other than Arabic should be translated into Arabic. Any contributors must follow the template manuscript provided by Al-Zahra. It can be accessed at the Al-Zahra website. If an original language other than Arabic should be used, it should be minimized in amount. The manuscript submitted via website: http://journal.uinjkt.ac.id/index.php/zahra/index or sent by Email: journal.alzahra.fdi@uinjkt.ac.id.

The article that will be submitted in this journal should contain:

• Information of article: Title: no more than 12 words; Author(s) name: is fully written without any title; Institution: is completely stated, including name of department/unit, (faculty), name of university, and country; Corresponding author: includes name & email address

• Abstract: The abstract should be clear, concise, and descriptive. This abstract should provide a brief introduction to the problem, objective of the paper, followed by a statement regarding the methodology and a brief summary of results. The abstract should end with a comment on the significance of the results or a brief conclusion. Abstracts are written in 12 pt Times New Roman for English version and in 16 pt Sakkal Majalla for Arabic version, between 200 to 250 words.

• Keywords: Keywords are the labels of the manuscript and critical to correct indexing and searching. Therefore the keywords should represent the content and highlight of the article. Use only those abbreviations that are firmly established in the field. e.g. DNA. Each word/phrase in keyword should be separated by a semicolon (;), not a comma (,).

• Discussion: Discussion should be clear and concise. The results should summarize (scientific) findings rather than providing data in great detail. Please highlight differences between your results or findings and the previous publications by other researchers. The discussion should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature. In the discussion, it is the most important section of your article. Here you get the chance to sell your data. Make the discussion corresponding to the results, but do not reiterate the results. Often should begin with a brief summary of the main scientific findings (not experimental results). The following components should be covered in the discussion: How do your results relate to the original question or objectives outlined in the Introduction section (what)? Do you provide interpretation scientifically for each of your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results consistent with what other investigators have reported (what else)? Or are there any differences?

• Conclusion: Conclusions should answer the objectives of the research. Tells how your work advances the field from the present state of knowledge. Without clear Conclusions, reviewers and readers will find it difficult to judge the work, and whether or not it merits publication in the journal. Do not repeat the Abstract, or just list experimental results. Provide a clear scientific justification for your work, and indicate possible applications and extensions. You should also suggest future experiments and/or point out those that are underway.

• References: Citing sources and listing references should comply with the APA 7th edition referencing styles. For more detail please check here. It is suggested the use of a reference manager, MENDELEY and ZOTERO.
