MISSION STATEMENT

Krisnadwipayana International Journal of Management Studies publishes scholarly empirical, theoretical, and review articles dealing with management studies. Manuscripts suitable for publication in the Krisnadwipayana International Journal of Management Studies cover such areas as Service management, Organizational Behaviour Studies, Research Methods and Modelling in Management Studies, Business Strategy, Human Resource Management, Financial Management, Marketing Management, Operation Management, Business Law, Economics, Econometrics, Industrial Economics and Public Economics, and Entrepreneurship.

TYPING

Manuscripts should in a 12-point, Times New Roman font. They must be double spaced. As reviewers often prefer to write notes on the manuscript, authors should use 3 cm margins. Every page in the manuscript should contain a short running head and the page number. This information should be right justified. Pages should measure 8.5 by 11 inches. Manuscript length should be limited to 20 pages including references, appendices, tables and figures.

MAJOR SECTIONS OF THE PAPER

A sample template is included at the end of this document. There is also a template available here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h-t2Uyktu8xK4Rlg6aL6DvmhaEXerBX7/edit.

ABSTRACT AND TITLE 

During the electronic submission process, there will be specific fields for entering a manuscript title (limit 15 words) as well as an abstract (limit 250 words). The abstract should not be included in the main document of the manuscript. Do not submit a title page with your main manuscript document.

MAIN DOCUMENT

The principal divisions of the manuscript should appear in the following order: body of the article, references, tables, figures, and appendices. The body of the article begins immediately on page 1. The title of the paper should appear at the top of this first page. It should be centred, bold-faced. Number all pages, including those with references, appendices, tables, and figures. Group these, in the order just given, on separate pages at the end of the article. All main body paragraphs should be indented.

The manuscript (body, references, table, figures and appendices) will be uploaded to Krisnadwipayana International Journal of Management Studies as a single document called “main document” during the electronic submission process.

BLIND REVIEW 

When preparing a manuscript for electronic submission, the authors should remove all identifying information such as names or affiliations or author notes. Instead, the title should only appear at the beginning of the text. This will facilitate the blind review process. There is a separate area for uploading a title page with author information that will not be visible to reviewers.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Do not place acknowledgements into the manuscript, as these could compromise the blind review process. If authors wish to acknowledge the contribution of individuals or institutions that are not authors, they are encouraged to do so. At the time of submission, the website offers a place in which acknowledgements can be directly typed.

HEADINGS

Main headings should be used to designate the major sections of an article. Within the main body of the paper, the major headings typically include such things as INTRODUCTION, RELATED STUDIES, METHOD, DISCUSSION AND RESULTS, CONCLUSIONS. Supporting materials, such as references, tables, and appendices are also treated as major headings. In all cases, major headings should be centred, bold-faced, and typed in all capital letters.

Example:

METHOD

Secondary headings should be typed flush with the left margin, in title case (small letters with major words beginning with capitals), and in bold. Example:

Data and Sample

Third-order or paragraph headings should begin with a standard paragraph indention, be typed in sentence case (small letters with only the initial word capitalized), followed by a period, and in bold. The text should follow on the same line.

Example:

Manager sample. Respondents consisted of a random sample of 300 managers who worked full time at a large manufacturing facility...

When a section of text is divided, there should be at least two subsections.

HYPOTHESES

In manuscripts reporting tests of formal hypotheses, these should be explicitly identified as such. State each hypothesis that is tested in your analyses separately and give it a distinct number

VARIABLES

The names of constructs and variables should be expressed using ordinary words; in general, do not use unconventional abbreviations, acronyms, or code names. For industry accepted acronyms, please spell out the term initially then use acronyms in subsequent references.

Example:

“Recently, research related to Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) has increased. SME literature….”

Be sure to use the same name for each variable in your text, tables, and figures.

TABLES AND FIGURES

Useful tables and figures do not duplicate the text; they supplement and clarify it. Because tables and figures are considerably more expensive to prepare for publication than text, please carefully consider what they add to your manuscript’s impact.

Place each table or figure on a separate page. Double-space all text. Number tables and figures consecutively (one series for tables, one for figures) from the beginning to the end of the article. Indicate the position of each in the text as follows:

------------------------------

Insert Table 2 about here

------------------------------

TABLE CHECKLIST

1. Centre the word Table (in title case) and the number of the table (Arabic numeral) at the top of the page
2. Centre the title (in title case) under the table heading.
3. Report the results of only one type of analysis in each table.
4. Range headings across the top of the table. Do not add new headings in the body of the table.
5. Do not use abbreviations or computer code names for variables. Also, please do not use table notes. Use the same names you used in the text.
6. Use only two decimal places for statistics (except p-values, see next).
7. All reported statistical estimates (e.g., regression weights, mean differences) must have

corresponding standard errors, and inferential statistics (t, z, or F, depending on which is most pertinent) with precise p values reported (e.g., p = .072, rounded to the third decimal place) rather than in star notation (*) or statistical significant cut off bands (e.g., p < .05)

1. For most articles, the first table should report descriptive statistics, including means, standard deviations, and a full correlation matrix. Correlations should fill the lower-left corner of the page.
2. To distinguish some numerals (for instance, to indicate which loadings define a factor), boldface type can be used. Do not use this option when other conventions, such as footnotes, are sufficient.
3. Use plain type in capital and small letters—no italic or bold, except as noted above.

Note that each level is on a separate line.

FIGURE CHECKLIST

Centre the word Figure (in title case) and the number of the figure (Arabic numeral) at the top of the page.

Centre the title (in title case) under the Figure heading. Spell out all words in the body of the figure.

Use the same variable names you used in the tables and text. Avoid stacking words or numbers (listing characters vertically). Make sure lines and graphic elements are crisp and clear.

Use letters for footnotes, as in tables.

CITATIONS

Giving proper credit to the sources of original ideas and previous work is an important aspect of good scholarship. Inappropriate or inaccurate citations do not do justice to the authors cited and can be misleading to readers.

A tendency and a desire to cite ones’ own previous or current work is understandable. However, excessive use of self-citations is frowned upon. When submitting your manuscript for publication consideration, use self-citations cautiously. Minimize references that would reveal the manuscript's authorship. Doing this is important for protecting the double-blind review process.

Citations should be made in the text by enclosing the cited authors' names and the year of the work cited in parentheses.

Example:

Several studies (Ferris & Kacmar, 1992; Malhotra & Bazerman, 2008; Morrison, 1993a, 1993b) support this conclusion.

Please note the use of alphabetical order and ampersands. Also note that two or more works by the same author (or by an identical group of authors) published in the same year are distinguished by "a," "b," etc., added after the year.

Citations to the source of a direct quotation must give a page number or numbers; these follow the date of publication and are separated from it by a colon. Example: Adams has said that writing a book is "a long and arduous task" (1974: 3). Also cite page numbers when you paraphrase or summarize specific arguments or findings of authors.

If a work has two authors, give both names every time the work is cited in the text. If a work has between two and six authors, list all authors the first time it is cited, then use "et al."

Example:

Emotional exhaustion is related to work attitudes (Cropanzano, Rupp, & Byrne, 2003). (first citation)

... exhaustion was also related to job performance (Cropanzano et al., 2003).

(subsequent citation)

For more than six authors, use the "et al." form even for the first citation. But the matching reference at the end of the article should include a complete list of the authors.

When citing the same manuscript more than once in the same paragraph, provide the date during the initial citation. For subsequent citations in the same paragraph, use only the names of the author(s).

REFERENCES

The references should be in APPA styles, include an alphabetically ordered list of the works you have cited in your article. This list should begin on a separate page headed REFERENCE. As this is a major heading, the word “REFERENCES” should be centred, in all capital letters, and bold-faced.

References should follow hanging indentation format. Specially, the first line should be flush with the left margin. Subsequent lines should be indented.

Alphabetize references by the last name of the author (the first author) or the editor, or by the name of the corporate author (e.g., U.S. Census Bureau) or periodical (e.g., Wall Street Journal, p. A1) if there is no individual author or editor. Several works by an identical author (or group of authors) are ordered by year of publication, with the earliest listed first. If the years of publication are also the same, differentiate entries by adding small letters ("a," "b," etc.) after the years. Authors' names are repeated for each entry.

Book entries follow this form: Authors' or Editors' Last Names, Initials. Year. Title of book. (Book titles are italicized and typed in lowercase letters except for the first letter of the first word and the first word after a long dash or colon). City Where Published, State or Country (add only if needed to identify the city and use U.S. Postal Service abbreviations for states): Name of Publisher. Please note and follow the punctuation used in these and subsequent examples.

Periodical entries follow this form: Authors' Last Names, Initials. Year. Title of article or paper (in lowercase letters except for the first letter of the first word and the first word after a long dash or colon). Name of Periodical, volume number (issue number if needed): page numbers.

Example:

Goggin, W. C. 1974. How the multi-dimensional structure works at Dow Corning. Harvard Business

Review, 55(1): 54-65.

Include an issue number only if a periodical's pages are not numbered consecutively throughout its volumes---that is, if each issue begins with a page numbered "1."

If a periodical article has no author, treat the name of the periodical like a corporate author, in both the citation and reference.

Examples:

Citation: There is fear that Social Security rates may rise (Wall Street Journal, 1984).

Reference: Wall Street Journal. 1984. Inflation rate may cause Social Security increase. September

24: 14.

Chapters in books follow this form: Authors' Last Names, Initials. Year. Title of chapter (in lowercase letters except for the first letter of the first word and first word after a colon). In Editors' Initials and Last Names (Eds.), Title of book: page numbers. City Where Published, State or Country (only if necessary to identify the city): Name of Publisher.

Examples:

Berg, N. A. 1973. Corporate role in diversified companies. In B. Taylor & I. MacMillan (Eds.), Business
