LANGUAGE STYLE

A scientific article aims to convey an idea, theory, or solution to a scientific problem to readers in a clear, straightforward, and unambiguous manner. Therefore, use language that is as concise and simple as possible. Avoid overly long sentences. Long sentences should preferably be divided into two or more shorter sentences. Avoid writing things that are not directly related to the issue being discussed, even in the form of footnotes, since TARBAWI Journal does not permit the use of footnotes.

Articles in TARBAWI Journal may be written in Indonesian or English. If the paper is written in Indonesian, try to use Indonesian terms whenever possible. If a term has no equivalent in Indonesian, write the term in English and italicize it.

TABLES AND FIGURES

Tables and figures should be placed on separate lines and centered. Make sure that the tables and figures can be understood properly. Therefore, ensure that the font size in the table or figure and the image resolution are sufficiently high. Figure captions are placed below the figure. Table captions are placed above the table. Each figure and table must be numbered (for example, Figure 1, Figure 2, ... or Table 1, Table 2, ...).

If it is necessary to refer to a table or figure in the article, use a form such as Figure 2 or Table 3. The words “Figure” and “Table” begin with capital letters even when they appear in the middle of a sentence.

CITATIONS

Citations are used to indicate that a particular part of your article comes from the opinions, ideas, and/or writings of others. Citations should be taken from accountable and reliable sources. In other words, avoid using citations from sources such as Wikipedia.

WRITING REFERENCES

The reference style used in TARBAWI Journal is based on the format established by IEEE. The form of each reference entry depends on the type of source used. The references in TARBAWI Journal are arranged in alphabetical order.
