ARTISTIC Author Guidelines:

Authors must strictly follow the submission guidelines of the journal. To submissions that do not adhere to the guidelines provided, they will be REJECTED. Please submit your article through the online submission of this journal by registering and account and login to the system.

Article Structure in General:

All articles must be written in English and should have an abstract between 100 to 150 words in length, followed by three to five keywords related to your article. Submissions should be between 4000-8000 (including abstract, table(s), figure(s) and references) in A4 size paper with margins as the following: top 3.05”, bottom 4.32”, right 2.49” and left 2.79”.

Title: the title should summarize the main idea or ideas of your paper; the title should be within 12 words maximum.

Author detail: include names of authors and their affiliation. Email is required for the corresponding author only. ARTISTIC requires that authorship be based on the following four criteria:

  1. Substantial contributions to the idea or method of the artistic research; or the collection, creation, analysis, or interpretation of data for the artistic research; AND
  2. Drafting the paper or revising it for important intellectual content; AND
  3. Final approval of the version to be submitted and published; AND
  4. Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the article (and artistic research) in ensuring that questions or problems related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.

Contributors who do not meet all 4 criteria for authorship above should be listed in acknowledgment, not as authors. Therefore, contributors doing acquisition of funding; general supervision of a research group or general administrative support; and writing assistance, technical editing, language editing, and proofreading do not qualify for authorship. To prevent misconduct in authorship, ARTISTIC only allows a maximum of five authors for one article. Each author’s contribution to the article must be stated in the cover letter to be uploaded as a supplementary file into the OJS during article submission. We require that all co-authors be added to the metadata in the third step of article submission. Otherwise, they will not be included in the article when it is published. Download the cover letter template HERE. 

Abstract: The abstract must be between 100-150 words in length. The abstract must provide a clear, brief and informative summary covering the scope and objectives, methods, significant results and / or new findings, main conclusions and recommendations. This should describe the contents of the manuscript which can be understood without the need to read the full text.

Keywords: Keywords must be between 3-5 words in length. The words should capture the essence of your paper. Include the most relevant keywords that will help other authors find your paper. These words must be presented in alphabetical order and separated by semicolon.

Introduction: state your work’s objectives and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Explicitly state the literature gap, which signifies your research’s significance.

When paraphrasing a source that is not your own, be sure to represent the author’s information or opinions accurately and in your own words. Even when paraphrasing an author’s work, you still must provide a citation to that work. When directly quoting an author’s work, provide citation marks at the beginning till the end of the citation. The page number must be noted beside the author’s name and year of publication.

Literature Review: include the current knowledge, substantive findings, and theoretical and methodological contributions to your topic. A literature review surveys books, scholarly articles, and any other sources relevant to a particular issue, area of research, or theory and, by so doing, provides a description, summary, and critical evaluation of these works in relation to the research problem being investigated.

Method: provide sufficient detail to allow your work to be reproduced. This includes participants, location (if necessary), instrument(s), the technique of data collection, and the technique of creation or data analysis. A reference should indicate methods already published; only relevant modifications should be described.

Results: present the results of your art work. Use figures and graphs if appropriate, describe and summarize your art work in the text.

Discussion: highlight the most significant results, but do not repeat what has been written in the Results section. The purpose of the discussion is to interpret and describe the significance of your art work in light of what was already known about the artistic research problem being investigated and to explain any new understanding or insights that emerged as a result of your study of the problem. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate.

Conclusion: provide the final words on the value of your analysis, research, or article. Limitations of your study should be addressed. Recommendations for future research related to your topic should also be mentioned.

Acknowledgments (optional): give credit to funding bodies and departments that have been of help during the project, for instance, by supporting it financially.

References: follow the APA 7 style. Reference writing is recommended using applications such as Mendeley. The reference writing system is used both for quotations in the text and bibliography.

All names/references mentioned in the text/article should be listed in the References section. Names not mentioned in the text/article should be removed from the References section.

Appendices (optional): if there is more than one appendix, they should be identified as Appendix A, Appendix B, etc. Formulae and equations in appendices should be given separate numbering: Eq. (A.1), Eq. (A.2), etc.; in a subsequent appendix, Eq. (B.1), and so on. Similarly, for tables and figures: Table A.1; Fig. A.1, etc. 

 

Further guidelines are provided below

Headings and subheadings should be presented as follows (provide a space between the headings and sub-headings):

1 Introduction

1.1 Subheading of the Content

1.1.1 Subheading of the content

Indent the first line of every paragraph by 1 cm.

For Tables, the title size is 12 and the content size is 10. Number the tables subsequently throughout your article and the title is written above the table (see previous published issues for example).

For Figures, the title size is 12 and the content size (if any) is 10. Number the figures subsequently throughout your article and the title is written below the figure (see previous published issues for example).

References:
The reference list should be arranged alphabetically following the guidelines of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.). For example:

1 author (Dharsono, 2020)

2 authors (Subandi & Guntur, 2021)

3 authors (Hastanto et al., 2019)

Short quotations (less than 40 words):
Pryshchenko (2021, p. 51) said that “through their visual appearance, posters can be a medium for communicating cultural heritage and intercultural interactions”.

Long quotations (more than 40 words):
From the acoustic standpoint, even the sounds of words used by a speaker are one of the forms of his or her identity. Accordingly, Haryoguritno (2006) explained that:

Guwaya keris blade is an impression that can imply the spirit of a struggle that is applied to the bilah keris (blade). For example, people who are in good health and happy will look guwaya (the spirit of the hero's struggle, a body that looks firm with the characteristics of Javanese women's clothing). Guwaya is an effect that has psychological and spiritual nuances (Haryoguritno, 2006, p.23).

Reference Manager

Before copyediting after article acceptance, the Editors will hyperlink the references with corresponding in-text citations. All references and in-text citations should be in the APA 7th edition and present inside the article’s main body. References that are not cited should be removed.

4) The authors revise the paper according to the feedback and suggestions by reviewers. Upon acceptance, a publication fee is to be paid by the author to the journal. The publication fee is accessible at https://jurnal.isi-ska.ac.id/index.php/artistic/fee.

5) After publication, the corresponding author will receive an email of notification on the e-journal in PDF that is available on the journal’s webpage, and free of charge for download.

6) It normally takes about 3 – 6 months from submission to publication, with an average of 5 months.
