Author Guidelines
Papers are invited from anywhere in the world, and so authors are asked to ensure that sufficient context is provided for all readers to appreciate their contribution.
The types of papers that may be considered for inclusion are:
- Original research
- Review article, which includes meta-analysis and systematic review.
All manuscripts should be submitted online at the International Journal of Mathematical Thinking and Cultural Practices website. As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
Author(s) have read all guidelines, regulations, and editorial policies.
The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
Manuscript has used the reference tool manager. Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
The text is single-spaced; uses a 11-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
The text meets the bibliographic and stylistic requirements listed in the Guidelines for Authors, available in the “General Guidelines”.
For papers subject to peer review: An abstract of no more than 250 words has been submitted, together with 3 keywords from the UNESCO or ERIC thesauruses.
- Make sure that your paper is prepared using the Journal template.
- The manuscript has never been published/published on other media. Manuscript typed in time new roman font, single spaces on A4 paper as many as 7-15 pages (articles more than 15 pages, it will be considered by the editor, whether one of them is allowed, or recommended to reduce the number of pages, or rejected), is completed with an abstract of 250 words or more than 80 words and keywords. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references. Besides, the abstract should not repeat the information already present in the title. For keywords, please provide 2 to 5 words which can be used for indexing purposes, avoid using abbreviations, only abbreviations firmly established in the field are eligible. Manuscripts are sent to editorial addresses in the form of soft copy in Microsoft word files.
- The manuscripts contained in this journal include writing about Original Research or Review Article relating to teaching and education issues.
- The research article contains the title, author's name, abstract, keywords, and contents. The content of the (Original research or Review Article) article has a structure and system as well as the percentage of pages as follows:
- The Introduction includes background, state of the art, problem formulation, and research objectives. The Introduction presents the purpose of the studies reported and their relationship to earlier work in the field. It should not be an extensive review of the literature. Use only those references required to provide the most salient background to allow the readers to understand and evaluate the purpose and results of the present study without referring to previous publications on the topic.
- The Research Methods contains design/model, sample/data, place and time, data collection techniques and data analysis. These sections should be brief, but they should include sufficient technical information to allow the experiments to be repeated by a qualified reader. Only new methods should be described in detail.
- Results and Discussion. In the structure of the article, the results and discussions can be created separately, like "Research Results" and "Discussion", so the author is allowed to adjust them according to their needs in presenting the content of the article. The Result should include the rationale or design of the experiments as well as the results of the experiments. Results can be presented in figures, tables, and text. The Discussion should be an interpretation of the results rather than a repetition of the Results.
- Conclusions should contain the confirmation of the problem that has been analyzed in the result and discussion section.
- Acknowledgments (if any) contain information on the source of any financial support, received for the work being published.
- References must include all relevant published works, and all listed references must be cited in the text. Within the text, cite listed references use The 7th edition of the APA (American Psychological Association). For example, a paper was published by one Author and then the reference for the sentence from the Narrative citations has been cited in the text is Arends (2015). A paper was published by two authors, the reference is Gustiningsi and Putri (2024). A paper was published by three Authors or more, only use the first author's last name followed by "et al." in the signal phrase or in parentheses, like Alghadari et al. (2025). The author(s) must check the accuracy of all cite listed reference, as the International Journal of Mathematical Thinking and Cultural Practices willl not be responsible for incorrect in-text reference citations. For references to papers accepted for publication but not yet published should show the journal name, the probable year of publication (if known), and they should state "in press".
- Tables should be typewritten separately from the main text and preferably in an appropriate font size to fit each table on a separate page. Each table must be numbered with Arabic numerals (e.g., Table 1, Table 2) according to their sequence in the text and include a title. Place footnotes to tables below the table body and indicate them with the note. Do not use vertical rulings in the tables. Each column in a table must have a heading, and abbreviations, when necessary, should be defined in the note.
- Figures should be provided separately from the main text. Use Arabic numerals to number all figures (e.g., Figure 1, Figure 2) according to their sequence in the text. The figure number must appear well outside the boundaries of the image itself. Multipart figures should be indicated with lowercase (a, b, c, etc.) within parenthesis, both on the figure itself and in the figure legends.
