Author Guidelines
The editor of Humaniora welcomes article submissions in accordance with the following guidelines:
1. Articles have not been published or accepted for publication, or are being considered for publication
elsewhere. In addition to the manuscript, a written statement should be attached which clarifies that
the article is original and does not contain any elements of plagiarism.
2. Types of articles suitable for publication include the following: research reports (laboratory, field,
archives), conceptual ideas, studies, theory applications.
3. Articles are written in English using academic language along with standard academic writing structure
and composition. Manuscripts are typed 1,5 spaced in a quarto paper size (A4), between 6000-8000
words in length including references, pictures, and tables. Papers that greatly exceed this will be
critically reviewed with respect to length.
4. Articles should be in form of essay which includes:
• Do not write author’s name in any part of the article (Humaniora has already applied double-
blind review in the review proccess),
• Title (max. 15 words),
• Abstract (150-200 words for each) which includes research problems, methods, and results,
• Keywords (5-7 words),
• Introduction (without subsection, 2-3 pages) which includes background, objectives, methods,
and literature reviews/theoretical construct (if needed) of the research. The introduction
section ends with an emphasis on items to be discussed,
• Discussion (consists of result of the study, written in the form of subchapter(s)),
• Conclusion (is a brief summary of findings and discussion. It is strongly recommended to
avoid mere repetitive statements from the previous sections) and
• References.
5. Diacritics and Spelling of Proper Names
In order to be reproduced accurately in printed version, articles must be aware of any special (e.g.,
phonetic) symbols. They must be explained in detail with a typeset sample as well. To deal with
this issue, Humaniora recommends authors to use Times New Roman font, but if this font does
not support some symbols, authors are allowed to use other alternatives with notification to the
Humaniora board.
Authors must be aware of the spelling of proper names, especially in terms of Indonesian personal
names, newspapers, offices, and organizations. They have to be written as their original spelling
although they might be now outdated, for example: Sukarno, Soeharto, Poerbatjaraka, Ki Hadjar
Dewantara, Zoetmulder, and Margono Djojohadikusumo. Meanwhile, any geographical names
should be written in their modern spellings.
6. Dates and Numbers
Dates in the text: 17 August 1945; dates in footnotes and the bibliography: 17-8-1945. Numbers from
one to ten should be spelled out; higher numbers, percentages and measurements should be given
as numerals (3 km, 6%).
7. Figures, Tables and Maps
If your manuscript contains figures or tables, upload them as separate documents, number the figures
and tables consecutively, and refer to them in the text (Figure 1, Figure 2, Table 1, Table 2, etc.). Do
not include the figures and tables themselves in the manuscript. Indicate in the manuscript where
about you would like to see the figure or table included if the manuscript is accepted for publication.
Maps can be called a figure (and numbered as such).
For all images (line drawings, photographs, maps), please use high resolution source files: min. 150
HUMANIORA jurnal.ugm.ac.id/jurnal-humaniora

dpi for photographs, min 300 dpi for linework images. This is the minimum resolution required at
the dimensions of which the images should eventually be reproduced. Please bear in mind that the
images themselves should also be of high quality (e.g. the images should be clear and sharp and any
text in the images should be sharp and legible). Give the caption and the source of the figure in the
main text (exactly at the point where you indicate: ‘Figure x about here’).
8. Reference list format is based on APA (American Psychological Association) style 6th edition. The
reference list should appear at the end of the article and includes only literature actually cited in
the manuscripts. References are ordered alphabetically and chronologically. We strongly recomend
authors to use reference tools, such as Mendeley, Zotero, Endnote, etc. Herewith are some of the
APA-based references format structure:
• Printed book: Author, A.A. (Year of Publication). Title of work. Publisher City, State: Publisher.

Peer Review Process

Humaniora aims to publish academic articles that uncover new depths in the study of humanities. These
articles should be able to contribute to and advance our current understanding of culture, language, and
literature, with a sound scientific basis. To ensure this, we employ a double-blind review, which means that
both the reviewers’ and authors’ identities are concealed from each other throughtout the review process.
More specifically, our editorial process is as follows:
1. Initial screening. All submissions are initially screened by the Editor-in-Chief for their conformity
to Humaniora’s scope and basic submission requirements, and checked for plagiarism. Manuscripts
that fail to abide by our ethical standards are immediately rejected, as are manuscripts that do not
fit within the journal’s scope.
2. Reviewer assignment. Manuscripts that pass initial screening are then handed over to a section
editor, who will select at least two relevant reviewers and initiate the peer review process.
3. Peer review. During this stage, a reviewer will asess the content of the manuscript and provide their
recommendation to the Editor-in-Chief.
4. First decision. Once both (or more) reviewers have submitted their recommendations, the
manuscript is either rejected, asked for revisions (minor or major), or accepted as is. If it is accepted,
the manuscript is returned to the submitting author for proofreading. The final decision to accept the
manuscript is made by the Editor-in-Chief based on the recommendation of the section editor and
following approval by the editorial board.
5. Revision. A manuscript that requires revisions is returned to the submitting author, who will have
up to four weeks to revise the manuscript. Once the revision is submitted, it is once again assessed
by the section editor to determine whether the changes are adequate and appropriate, as well as
whether the author(s) sufficiently responded to the reviewers’ comments and suggestions. If the
revisions are deemed to be inadequate, this step is repeated (the manuscript is returned to the
submitting author once more for further revision).
6. Final decision. Finally, the revised manuscript is either accepted or rejected, depending on whether
the section editor has found the manuscript to have been improved to a level worthy of publication.
If the author(s) are unable to make the required changes or have done so to a degree below
Humaniora’s standards, the manuscript is rejected.
7. Language editing. Once the manuscript is accepted, it is returned to the submitting author for final
editing of its language and content; these are changes that improve the readability of the article
without changing the substance of the content. Humaniora requires authors to return the manuscript
with proof that changes have been made, which the editorial board will review before ultimately
greenlighting the manuscript for publication.
8. Typesetting. Once greenlit, the manuscript is handed over to the journal’s typesetter. The final version
of the article, as it will appear in Humaniora, is returned to the submitting author for proofreading
and final approval.
9. Publication. Congratulations! The published article will appear in the latest issue of Humaniora.
