Author Guidelines Edit Edit Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to make submissions to this journal. All submissions will be evaluated by the editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of this journal. Those deemed suitable will be sent for peer review before determining whether they will be accepted or rejected.

Before making a submission, authors should obtain written permission for any materials included with the submission, such as photos, documents, and datasets. All authors identified in the submission should agree to be identified as authors. If appropriate, the research should be approved by an appropriate ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the country of the study.

The editor may reject a submission at an early stage (desk reject) if it does not meet the minimum quality standards. Before submitting, please ensure that the study design and research arguments are properly structured and articulated. The title should be concise and the abstract should be able to stand alone. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper. Once you are satisfied that your submission meets these standards, please follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.

General Author Guidelines All manuscripts should be submitted to the Editorial Office of International Thaqafah via Online Submission at the E-Journal portal address: [https://journal.baitussaadah.edu.my/index.php/th/en/about/submissions], where authors register as Authors and/or are offered as Reviewers online. If authors have any problems regarding online submission, please contact the Editorial Office at the following email: journal@baitussaadah.edu.my.

Article Information Title: no more than 16 words; Author names: written in full without any titles; Institution: stated in full, including the name of the institution; Corresponding author: includes name & email address.

Abstract The abstract is a concise and comprehensive summary of the contents of the article; it allows readers to quickly survey the contents of the article and, like the title, it enables persons interested in the document to retrieve it from abstracting and indexing databases. Most scholarly journals require an abstract. Consult the instructions to authors or the website of the journal to which you plan to submit your article for any journal-specific instructions. A well-prepared abstract can be the single most important paragraph in an article. Most people have their first contact with an article by just looking at the abstract, usually in comparison with several other abstracts, as they are doing a literature search. Readers often make decisions based on the abstract as to whether to read the entire article. The abstract needs to be dense with information. By embedding keywords in your abstract, you enhance the user's ability to find it. Do not exceed the abstract word limit of the journal to which you are submitting your article. The word limit varies from journal to journal and typically ranges from 100 to 150 words.

Keywords: lowercase, commas, paper template, abstract, keyword, introduction

Introduction The introduction encompasses 7 items, namely: (1) general introduction, which is the introduction of the general problem to the specific problem, (2) problem definition, which is the exposure of the main research topic, (3) gap in the literature, which is the gap found through comparison with relevant previous research, (4) problem solution, which is the solution offered by the researcher, (5) motivation of the study, which is the researcher's motivation to conduct the research, (6) aims and objectives, which is the main purpose of the research, and (7) significant contribution and advantages of the study, which is an explanation of the expected benefits from the research.

Several other matters to consider in writing the introduction include: the recency of the literature (maximum of the last 10 years except for primary reference sources that are no longer published), the literature used should be critically analyzed rather than merely defined, using indirect citations and employing paraphrasing techniques as well as using the Turabian 9th edition footnotes.

Methods The materials and methods should allow the reader to reproduce the experiment. Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. Published methods should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described. Do not repeat details of established methods.

Identify Subsections It is conventional and appropriate to divide the Methods section into labeled subsections. These typically include a section with descriptions of the participants or subjects and a section describing the procedures employed in the study. The latter section often encompasses descriptions of (a) any experimental manipulations or interventions used and how they were delivered—for example, any mechanical apparatus used to deliver them; (b) sampling procedures and sample size as well as precision; (c) measurement approaches (including psychometric properties of the instruments used); and (d) the research design. If the study design is complex or the stimuli require detailed description, additional subsections or subheadings to divide the subsections may be appropriate to help readers find specific information.

Include in these subsections the information essential to comprehend and replicate the study. Insufficient detail leaves the reader with questions; too much detail burdens the reader with irrelevant information. Consider using appendices and/or supplementary websites for more detailed information.

Participant (Subject) Characteristics The appropriate identification of research participants is critical to the science and practice of psychology, particularly for generalizing findings, making comparisons across replications, and using the evidence in research syntheses and secondary data analyses. If humans participated in the study, report the eligibility and exclusion criteria, including any restrictions based on demographic characteristics.

Research Design State the research design in the Methods section. Were the subjects placed into manipulated conditions, or were they observed naturalistically? If multiple conditions were created, how were participants assigned to the conditions, through random assignment or other selection mechanisms? Was the study conducted as a between-subjects or within-subjects design?

Results Several provisions in writing research results include: results are presented concisely but adequately to support conclusions that are aligned with the research objectives; data can be presented using tables, charts, or graphs so that they are easier to read but the same data is not presented repeatedly with different representations; and interpret the research results supported by sufficient evidence, so it is not merely an assumption.

Discussion The discussion section is the most important part of a scientific article. Therefore, this section should pay attention to the following matters: (1) comparison, which is comparing the research results with previous studies and theories relevant to the research; (2) causal arguments, which are arguments explaining why the results could occur; (3) contribution, which is an explanation of the research's contribution to science; (4) limitations, which are the limitations of the study; and (5) research agenda and suggestions, which is an explanation of further studies or their implementation.

Conclusion The conclusion should answer the research objectives. Inform how your work advances the field from the current state of knowledge. Without a clear Conclusion, reviewers and readers will find it difficult to evaluate the work, and whether or not it is worthy of publication in the journal. Do not repeat the Abstract, or merely list the experimental results. Provide a clear scientific justification for your work, and indicate potential applications and extensions. You should also suggest future experiments and/or indicate experiments that are currently underway.
