Types of Manuscript

Attanwir: Jurnal Keislaman dan Pendidikan accepts original research articles and conceptual articles within Islamic studies and education. All submissions must comply with the journal’s Focus and Scope.

1. Research Articles

Research articles report original investigations that contribute to knowledge in Islamic studies or education. The journal welcomes qualitative, quantitative, mixed-methods, and other research approaches appropriate to the research questions.

Research articles must clearly explain:

The research problem, scholarly context, and objectives.
The research gap and intended contribution.
The research design, sources or participants, data collection, and analysis.
Ethical considerations, where applicable.
The findings and their interpretation in relation to relevant scholarship.
The conclusions, limitations, and implications.

The manuscript should contain the following sections:

Title.
Author information.
Abstract and keywords.
Introduction.
Methods.
Findings and discussion, presented together or separately.
Conclusion.
Declarations and acknowledgments, where applicable.
References.

2. Conceptual Articles

Conceptual articles develop theoretical arguments, critically examine concepts, or synthesize literature to advance scholarly discussions in Islamic studies or education.

A conceptual article must present a clear analytical contribution rather than merely summarize existing publications. Arguments must be supported by relevant scholarly literature or other appropriate sources.

Conceptual articles must clearly explain:

The issue or conceptual problem being addressed.
The scholarly context and purpose of the article.
The approach to selecting and examining literature or sources, where applicable.
The central argument and its supporting evidence.
The contribution, limitations, and implications of the analysis.

The manuscript should contain the following sections:

Title.
Author information.
Abstract and keywords.
Introduction.
Approach, where applicable.
Main discussion, organized into thematic sections.
Conclusion.
Declarations and acknowledgments, where applicable.
References.

Literature-based submissions are considered within this category when they provide a critical synthesis or conceptual contribution. Manuscripts reporting a systematic evidence-synthesis study should explain their methods explicitly and follow the research article structure where appropriate.

3. Language and Manuscript Preparation

Both manuscript types may be submitted in Indonesian, Arabic, or English.

Manuscripts should be 15–20 pages, including references, tables, and figures, prepared on A4 paper with 1.5 line spacing. Authors must follow the journal’s official template and the detailed requirements in the Author Guidelines.

Abstracts must not exceed 200 words in each language version:

Indonesian manuscripts: Indonesian and English abstracts.
English manuscripts: English and Indonesian abstracts.
Arabic manuscripts: Arabic and English abstracts.

Relevant keywords must appear below each abstract.

4. Originality and Ethical Requirements

Submissions must be original and must not be under consideration by another journal. Authors must disclose previous dissemination, including preprints, and any substantial overlap with their other works.

All manuscripts must comply with the journal’s Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement, including requirements concerning authorship, research integrity, conflicts of interest, and acknowledgment of sources.

5. Submission and Assessment

Manuscripts must be submitted through the journal’s online submission system.

Both manuscript types undergo initial editorial assessment. Manuscripts that pass this assessment proceed to double-blind peer review by at least two independent reviewers, as described in the Peer Review Process.

Acceptance depends on scholarly quality, relevance, ethical compliance, and satisfactory completion of the review and revision process.
