• Closely related to or relevant with the authors' mastery background, either theoretical writing, methodological writing, research summary, or scientific book review.
• Considering the content objectivity and scientific rules.
• The editors consider 4000-8000 words to be the preferable article length. The length of the manuscript should not exceed 8000 words, including text, all tables and figures, notes, and appendices intended for publication. A manuscript that exceeds the 8000-word limit will be returned without review.

E. Writing technique:

• Within the manuscript body, avoid using dot points, alphabetizing, or numbering as follows:

   1) ...........    2) ...........

   This model of writing is preferred: 1) ................, 2) ..............

• Manuscript written in essay format, no numbering between chapter or part is allowed.
• The table and graph should be referred in the discussion. 
• Make the tables or graphs as straightforward as possible. The table should contain table number, title, note, and information if needed (below the table to explain abbreviation in the table). Use only horizontal lines, and vertical lines are not allowed.
• Use running note instead of footnote or endnote; for example:

    ...... (Eveleth & Tanner 1990:10, Kennedy 1993).

    ...... (Abolfotouh et al. 1993).

    ...... (Boas 1896 in Martin 1928).

• Avoid journal name abbreviation in referencing.
• Instead of using points, conclusion is written in paragraph format.
• Reference uses "name-year” system, accordance with alphabetical family name.
• In reference, mention all author's name (not et al.); for example:
