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 spacing. The distance between HEADING LEVEL 1 and the written narrative is 1 after 6. The article is written in Microsoft Word, Georgia font, 11 pt, 1 spacing after 6. Penamas articles typically accept 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, preferably involving authors from abroad who have a Scopus ID. Greater value is 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 analyse 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. The research technique includes the location, research time, type/nature of the study, data collection procedures, and data analysis methods. It is hoped that the reasons for choosing the location, the length of the research, the type/nature of the research, data collection techniques tailored to the research objectives, data analysis using the most recent methods and theories relevant to the problems, and comparisons with global problems will all be explained.

Research Results and Discussion 

The research results and discussion explore the significance of the research results, not a repetition, and use a theoretical framework in analysing research findings. All illustrations or images can be made in black and white and/or colour. 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 an 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 illustrations 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 must address the research questions and issues. Explain how these findings contribute to theoretical and methodological understanding (for example: by expanding the conceptual framework; by distinguishing between the mechanisms of mobilisation of religious traditions and social norms; the use of mixed methods). Briefly outline the implications of understanding the relationship between religious traditions and social traditions (for example: the impact on social cohesion; identity politics; faith-based social services). Provide brief, actionable recommendations for stakeholders such as policymakers, civil society organisations, or religious and traditional leaders (for example: designing interventions based on religious social capital; strategies for economic empowerment rooted in religious traditions). Authors may also propose a research agenda for further study that directly addresses the study’s findings and limitations.
