Author Guidelines

Jurnal Global Ilmiah requires submitted manuscripts to meet international standards of English to be considered for publication. Articles are typically published only in English. For authors seeking editing or review to improve manuscript clarity and highlight their research, JGI recommends language editing services provided by internal or external partners (contact the Head of JGI for more information). Please note, submitting a manuscript for language editing does not imply or guarantee acceptance for publication by JGI. Editorial decisions regarding scientific content are independent of language editing or partner services.

Language Style

The default language style in JGI is American English. If British English formatting is preferred, indicate this on the first page of the manuscript.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Follow these steps to maximize article discoverability:

• Include key article keywords in the title (no more than 14 words).

• Select 3-5 keywords using a mix of general and subject-specific terms.

• Use maximum keywords within the first two sentences of the abstract.

• Use relevant keywords in level-one headings.

Title

Align the title to the center in Times New Roman at the top of the page. The title must be concise, avoid implicit terms, and ideally state the main outcome or conclusion presented in the manuscript. Avoid abbreviations in the title. Creative titles are allowed only if they are fitting and appropriate. Editorial staff may revise or veto titles if required.

Author and Affiliation

List all author names together, separated by commas. Affiliations are listed below the author names using superscript numbers: Faculty (for students), Institute/University/Organization, City, Province, Country (avoid detailed addresses). Mark the corresponding author with a superscript and provide a separate email address below the affiliations.

Titles and Subheadings

Write the title in uppercase (Times New Roman, 12 pt, bold), and capitalize each word in subheadings (Times New Roman, 12 pt, bold italic).

Abstract

The abstract must make the general significance and conceptual advance of the work clearly accessible to a broad readership. Minimize abbreviations and avoid citing references. The length must not exceed 250 words and be written in English.

Tips:

• Background of the study

• Purpose of the paper

• Methods

• Summary of findings or results

• Keywords (up to 5, at least 3 required)

Main Text

The main text is set in 12-point Times New Roman, normal font, with 1.15 spacing and both page and line numbers for review convenience. Manuscripts are to be written using the latest Microsoft Word version.

Nomenclature

Limit abbreviation usage. Avoid non-standard abbreviations unless used at least four times and define at first mention. Provide a glossary of unusual abbreviations at the end.

Sections

Structure manuscripts according to headings and subheadings. For original research articles, organize sections as follows:

Introduction
Briefly set the research problem, its background and importance. Clearly state the research questions and significance. Summarize prior relevant research and specify what the paper addresses, why, and how. Avoid lengthy literature reviews. Summarize state-of-the-art, gap analysis or novelty statements at the section end.

Methods
Describe research methodology, allowing readers to evaluate and replicate the study. Provide details on experimental design, instrumentation, procedures, analysis plan, validity/reliability approaches, and statistical methods. Avoid method sub-sections.

Results and Discussion
Present findings, interpretations, implications, and recommendations for future research. Address the research questions, connect results to expectations and literature, and point out consistencies or discrepancies with previous findings. Discuss limitations and alternative explanations. Use visuals (figures, tables) as needed; captions must be stand-alone. Avoid sub-sections.

Conclusion
Clearly synthesize the main points and explain why the study is important. Discuss implications, relevance, and situate findings within prior research. Avoid repeating the abstract, introducing new arguments, or including citations.

Tips:

• Be direct and concise

• Emphasize relevance

• Develop a well-rounded single paragraph

• Avoid summarizing or presenting unrelated evidence.

References

All in-text citations must appear in the reference list and vice versa. Reference only published or accepted works; datasets must include version and identifier. For works in press, use “in press” instead of page numbers. Unpublished data or communications are cited in-text only. Use APA 7th Edition referencing, ideally managed through Mendeley or Zotero.

Figure and Table Guidelines

Figures should aid readers’ understanding, providing precision not easily achieved by words alone.
Requirements:

• Include scale bars

• Label important items

• Clarify colors and symbols

• Original, unpublished artwork only

• No images of people, stamps, currency, trademarks or company logos

• Do not use figures already in the text

Table guidelines:

• Provide clear, concise legends

• Categorize data for clarity

• Ensure adequate spacing and legible fonts

• Place table legends before the table

Legends and Formatting

Figure/table legends use 12 pt TNR, single spacing, starting with “Figure 1” or “Table 4”. Figure legends at manuscript end, tables before the table. Use a single paragraph per legend. Refer to figure panels by bold capital letters in parentheses: (A), (B), etc.

Figure Size and Format

Prepare images for PDF layout (fit to page and columns). Approved formats: TIFF (LZW or non-lossy compression), JPEG, EPS (after acceptance). Submit color images in RGB with 300 dpi at final size. If converting files to TIFF or EPS, avoid direct JPEG saves that may harm resolution.

Funding Statement

Provide details of all sources of funding, including grant numbers if available.
