[email protected] Abstract
An abstract is a brief, comprehensive summary of the contents of the article; it allows readers to
survey the contents of an article quickly and, like a title, it enables persons interested in the
document to retrieve it from abstracting and indexing databases. Most scholarly journals require
an abstract. Consult the instructions to authors or web page of the journal to which you plan to
submit your article for any journal-specific instructions. A well-prepared abstract can be the most
important single paragraph in an article. Most people have their first contact with an article by
seeing just the abstract, usually in comparison with several other abstracts, as they are doing a
literature search. Readers frequently decide on the basis of the abstract whether to read the entire
article. The abstract needs to be dense with information. By embedding key words in your abstract,
you enhance the user's ability to find it. Do not exceed the abstract word limit of the journal to
which you are submitting your article. Word limits vary from journal to journal and typically range
from 100 to 150 words.
Keywords: low case, comma, paper template, abstract, keywords, introduction
Introduction
This template is designed to assist Author in preparing manuscript; it is an exact
representation of the format expected by the editor. To use this template, please just Save As this
MS Word file to your document, then copy and paste your document here. To copy and paste the
text to this template document, please use “Special Paste” and choose “Unformated Text”.
All papers submitted to the journal should be written in good English. Authors for whom
English is not their native language are encouraged to have their paper checked before submission
for grammar and clarity. English language and copyediting services can be provided by:
International Editing and Asia Editing. The work should not have been published or submitted for
publication elsewhere. The official language of the manuscript to be published in Arabiyat journal
is Indonesian, Arabic, and English.
In Introduction, Authors should state the objectives of the work at the end of introduction
section. Before the objective, Authors should provide an adequate background, and very short
literature survey in order to record the existing solutions/method, to show which is the best of
previous researches, to show the main limitation of the previous researches, to show what do you
hope to achieve (to solve the limitation), and to show the scientific merit or novelties of the paper.
Avoid a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
Method
Materials and methods should make readers be able to reproduce the experiment. Provide
sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated
by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described. Do not repeat the details of
established methods.
Identify Subsections
It is both conventional and expedient to divide the Method section into labeled subsections.
These usually include a section with descriptions of the participants or subjects and a section
describing the procedures used in the study. The latter section often includes description of (a) any
experimental manipulations or inter-ventions used and how they were delivered-for example, any
mechanical apparatus used to deliver them; (b) sampling procedures and sample size and precision;
(c) measurement approaches (including the psychometric properties of the instruments used); and
(d) the research design. If the design of the study is complex or the stimuli require detailed
description, additional subsections or subheadings to divide the subsections may be warranted to
help readers find specific information.
Include in these subsections the information essential to comprehend and replicate the study.
Insufficient detail leaves the reader with questions; too much detail burdens the reader with
irrelevant information. Consider using appendices and/or a supplemental website for more detailed
information.
Participant (Subject) Characteristics
Appropriate identification of research participants is critical to the science and practice of
psychology, particularly for generalizing the findings, making comparisons across replications, and
using the evidence in research syntheses and secondary data analyses. If humans participated in the
study, report the eligibility and exclusion criteria, including any restrictions based on demographic
characteristics.
Research Design
Specify the research design in the Method section. Were subjects placed into conditions that
were manipulated, or were they observed naturalistically? If multiple conditions were created, how
were participants assigned to conditions, through random assignment or some other selection
mechanism? Was the study conducted as a between-subjects or a within-subject design?
Result and Discussion
Results 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 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 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?
After presenting the results, you are in a position to evaluate and interpret their implications,
especially with respect to your original hypotheses. Here you will examine, interpret, and qualify
the results and draw inferences and conclusions from them. Emphasize any theoretical or practical
consequences of the results. (When the discussion is relatively brief and straightforward, some
authors prefer to combine it with the Results section, creating a section called Results and
Discussion.)
Open the Discussion section with a clear statement of the support or nonsupport for your
original hypotheses, distinguished by primary and secondary hypotheses. If hypotheses were not
supported, offer post hoc explanations. Similarities and differences between your results and the
work of others should be used to contextualize, confirm, and clarify your conclusions. Do not
simply reformulate and repeat points already made; each new statement should contribute to your
interpretation and to the reader's understanding of the problem.
Your interpretation of the results should take into account (a) sources of potential bias and
other threats to internal validity, (b) the imprecision of measures, (c) the overall number of tests or
overlap among tests, (d) the effect sizes observed, and (e) other limitations or weaknesses of the
study. If an intervention is involved, discuss whether it was successful and the mechanism by which
it was intended to work (causal pathways) and/or alternative mechanisms. Also, discuss barriers to
implementing the intervention or manipulation as well as the fidelity with which the intervention or
manip ulation was implemented in the study, that is, any differences between the manipulation as
planned and as implemented.
Acknowledge the limitations of your research, and address alternative explanations of the
results. Discuss the generalizability, or external validity, of the findings. This critical analysis
should take into account differences between the target population and the accessed sample. For
interventions, discuss characteristics that make them more or less applicable to circumstances not
included in the study, how and what outcomes were measured (relative to other measures that might
have been used), the length of time to measurement (between the end of the intervention and the
measurement of outcomes), incentives, compliance rates, and specific settings involved in the study
as well as other contextual issues.
End the Discussion section with a reasoned and justifiable commentary on the importance of
your findings. This concluding section may be brief or extensive provided that it is tightly reasoned,
self-contained, and not overstated. In this section, you might briefly return to a discussion of why
the problem is important (as stated in the introduction); what larger issues, those that transcend the
particulars of the subfield, might hinge on the findings; and what propositions are confirmed or
disconfirmed by the extrapolation of these findings to such overarching issues.
Conclusion
Conclusions should answer the objectives of 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.
