  • The corresponding author’s phone number must also be included.
  • If the author is more than one author, it should be used conjunctions "and" not the symbol "&".

Abstract and Keywords 

  • Abstract is a summary of the article consisting of research problems, research methods used, research findings and research conclusions (discussion).
  • The abstract is written (one Paragraph) in English (Italic) and Indonesian (no Italic), with a size of 10 pt and the length of the abstract ranges from 150-200 words.
  • The word "abstract" must be typed in bold, capital and italic type

Introduction

The introduction includes background, problem formulation, objectives, hypotheses (optional), and novelty. All of this is given by quoting pertinent publications from the Penamas Journal as well as reputable foreign journals. The title is written in the format: CAPITAL LETTERS, left aligned, bold, GEORGIA font 12pt, 1,5 spacing. The distance between-HEADING LEVEL 1 and the written narrative is 1.5 after 6. The article writing in Microsoft Word, Georgia font, 11 pt, 1 spacing after 6. Penamas articles typically accepts submissions that are the outcome of field research. However, articles with fascinating concerns based on literature research are accepted and can be published.

The manuscript you submitted must be written by more than one person who (preferably) involves authors from abroad who have a Scopus ID. Greater value given to collaborative cross-field interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research than to single-author, single-disciplinary work. Societal challenges are not solved by individuals within single, specialist fields, dissecting the problem and attempting to find solutions within separate domains.

Research Method 

Penamas Journal tends to accept manuscripts that use a qualitative approach based on field research and in-depth interview approaches, because it focuses on religious and social research and its impacts. Qualitative research methods are techniques used to collect and analyze non-numerical data, such as text, images, and observations, to understand social, cultural, or psychological phenomena. The use of qualitative methods is expected to provide a deep understanding of social or cultural phenomena that can be adjusted to the situation and research context so that it can reveal the nuances and complexity of social or cultural phenomena. Location, research time, type/nature of study, data gathering procedures, and data analysis methodologies are all part of the research methodology. It is hoped that the reasons for selecting the location, the length of the research, the type/nature of the research, data collection techniques tailored to the research objectives, and data analysis using the most recent methods and theories relevant to the problems, as well as comparisons with global problems, will be explained.

Research Results and Discussion 

The research results and discussion explore the significance of the research results, not a repetition, and use theoretical framework in analyzing research findings. All illustrations or images can be made in black and white and/or color. The use of illustrations or images is recommended with the best quality display composition. Here you may discuss every aspect of the issue one by one. It is necessary to build argument and to provide original data discussed and compared to research and works of other scholars. In other words, the way to discuss an issue here is by combining the data and the discussion. So, it is not recommended to separate merely data description from the analysis on it. In quoting the results of direct interviews, less than 40 words spaced one after 6. Example: based on an interview with Xavier Iskariot (20 March 2021), he stated: 

“The collected texts are neatly written in each part of the final form, giving them an accurate appearance. This quote's narrative is written with spacing 1 and after 6”.

If you need to include any table, figure, image, or other illustration, please provide a high-resolution picture file as an attachment for your submission file. We will be very happy, however, if you can convert such illustration into narratives and do not include any picture in your paper. The inclusion with the format: the table title is placed directly above the table, left aligned, GEORGIA font, 10 pt, space 1.

Conclusion

The conclusion should answer the research questions and problems. Closing is not a rewrite of the discussion and also not a summary, but a brief explanation in the form of complete sentences or in the form of points of conclusion in sequence. The consistency triangle (problem-object-conclusion) must be achieved as a check and re-check effort. If necessary, suggestions/recommendations can be included which may contain academic recommendations, concrete follow-up, or policy implications of the conclusions reached. In this sub-conclusion, the author must explain in a narrative manner the recommendations from the research conclusions both for the government and other stakeholders. The recommendations in question are suggestions or steps offered to policy makers or the government based on the theme raised in the manuscript. This recommendation aims to bring the substance discussed in the manuscript to the attention of the government and stakeholders involved so that the usefulness of the substance raised is not only in the academic aspect but also in the social aspect. In this recommendation section, it is also possible to criticize government policies related to the substance discussed in the manuscript.
