The aim is to provide readers with a better understanding of Arabic Education history and present developments through the publication of articles, research reports, and book reviews.
The journal invites scholars and experts working in all disciplines in the Arabic Education. Articles should be original, research-based, unpublished and not under review for possible publication in other journals. All submitted papers are subject to review of the editors, editorial board, and blind reviewers. Submissions that violate our guidelines on formatting or length will be rejected without review.
Articles should be written in Bahasa or English or Arabic between approximately 3000-7000 words including text, all tables and figures, notes, references, and appendices intended for publication. All submission must include 100-150 words abstract and 3 keywords. Quotations, passages, and words in local or foreign languages should be translated into English or Arabic. All manuscripts should be sent in word.
All notes must appear in the text as citations. In matter of bibliographical style, Arabiyat follows the TURABIYAN manual style.

The article that will be submitted in this journal should contain:
- Information of article
Title: no more than 16 words; Author(s) name: is fully writen without any title; Institution: is completely stated, including the institution name; Corresponding author: includes name & email address
- Abstract
An abstract is a brief, comprehensive summary of the contents of the article; it allows readers to survey the contents of an article quickly and, like a 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 web page of the journal to which you plan to submit your article for any journal-specific instructions. A well-prepared abstract can be the most important single paragraph in an article. Most people have their first contact with an article by seeing just the abstract, usually in comparison with several other abstracts, as they are doing a literature search. Readers frequently decide on the basis of the abstract whether to read the entire article. The abstract needs to be dense with information. By embedding key words 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. Word limits vary from journal to journal and typically range from 100 to 150 words.
Keywords: low case, comma, paper template, abstract, keywords, introduction
- Introduction
This template is designed to assist authors in preparing their manuscripts and represents the exact format required by the editor. To use this template, simply save this MS Word file to your computer, then copy and paste your manuscript into the template. When pasting the text, please use the “Paste Special” option and select “Unformatted Text.”
All papers submitted to the journal must be written in clear and proper English. Authors whose first language is not English are encouraged to have their manuscripts reviewed for grammar and clarity prior to submission. English language editing and copyediting services are available through International Editing and Asia Editing. Submitted manuscripts must not have been previously published or simultaneously submitted to another journal. The official languages of manuscripts published in the Maqayis Journal are Indonesian, Arabic, and English.
In the Introduction section, authors should clearly state the objectives of the study at the end of the section. Prior to presenting the objectives, authors should provide adequate background information and a concise review of the relevant literature. This review should identify existing methods or solutions, highlight the strengths and limitations of previous studies, explain the research gap, and demonstrate the scientific contribution or novelty of the paper. Avoid presenting an overly detailed literature review or summarizing the research findings in the Introduction section.
- Method
Materials and methods should be described in sufficient detail to enable readers to reproduce the study. Provide enough information to ensure the work can be replicated accurately. Previously published methods should be cited appropriately, and only relevant modifications need to be explained. Avoid repeating the details of well-established procedures.
Identify Subsections
It is both conventional and practical to divide the Methods section into clearly labeled subsections. These commonly include a subsection describing the participants or subjects and another outlining the procedures used in the study. The procedures subsection often contains descriptions of:
(a) any experimental manipulations or interventions and how they were administered, including any mechanical apparatus involved;
(b) sampling procedures, sample size, and precision;
(c) measurement approaches, including the psychometric properties of the instruments used; and
(d) the overall research design.
If the study design is complex or the stimuli require extensive explanation, additional subsections or subheadings may be used to help readers locate specific information more easily.
Include only the information necessary for readers to understand and replicate the study. Insufficient detail may leave readers with unanswered questions, whereas excessive detail may burden them with irrelevant information. Consider using appendices or supplementary materials for additional details when necessary.
Participant (Subject) Characteristics
Appropriate identification of research participants is essential for the advancement of scientific research and professional practice, particularly for generalizing findings, comparing results across replication studies, and conducting research syntheses or secondary data analyses. If human participants were involved in the study, report the eligibility and exclusion criteria, including any restrictions related to demographic characteristics.
Research Design
Clearly specify the research design in the Methods section. Indicate whether participants were assigned to experimentally manipulated conditions or observed under naturalistic conditions. If multiple conditions were used, explain how participants were assigned, whether through random assignment or another selection method. State whether the study employed a between-subjects design or a within-subjects design.
- Result and Discussion
Results should be clear and concise. The results should summarize (scientific) findings rather than providing data in great detail. Please highlight differences between your results or findings and the previous publications by other researchers.
The discussion should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.
In discussion, it is the most important section of your article. Here you get the chance to sell your data. Make the discussion corresponding to the results, but do not reiterate the results. Often should begin with a brief summary of the main scientific findings (not experimental results). The following components should be covered in discussion: How do your results relate to the original question or objectives outlined in the Introduction section (what)? Do you provide interpretation scientifically for each of your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results consistent with what other investigators have reported (what else)? Or are there any differences?
After presenting the results, you are in a position to evaluate and interpret their implications, especially with respect to your original hypotheses. Here you will examine, interpret, and qualify the results and draw inferences and conclusions from them. Emphasize any theoretical or practical consequences of the results. (When the discussion is relatively brief and straightforward, some authors prefer to combine it with the Results section, creating a section called Results and Discussion.)
Open the Discussion section with a clear statement of the support or nonsupport for your original hypotheses, distinguished by primary and secondary hypotheses. If hypotheses were not supported, offer post hoc explanations. Similarities and differences between your results and the work of others should be used to contextualize, confirm, and clarify your conclusions. Do not simply reformulate and repeat points already made; each new statement should contribute to your interpretation and to the reader's understanding of the problem.
Your interpretation of the results should take into account (a) sources of potential bias and other threats to internal validity, (b) the imprecision of measures, (c) the overall number of tests or overlap among tests, (d) the effect sizes observed, and (e) other limitations or weaknesses of the study. If an intervention is involved, discuss whether it was successful and the mechanism by which it was intended to work (causal pathways) and/or alternative mechanisms. Also, discuss barriers to implementing the intervention or manipulation as well as the fidelity with which the intervention or manip ulation was implemented in the study, that is, any differences between the manipulation as planned and as implemented.
Acknowledge the limitations of your research, and address alternative explanations of the results. Discuss the generalizability, or external validity, of the findings. This critical analysis should take into account differences between the target population and the accessed sample. For interventions, discuss characteristics that make them more or less applicable to circumstances not included in the study, how and what outcomes were measured (relative to other measures that might have been used), the length of time to measurement (between the end of the intervention and the measurement of outcomes), incentives, compliance rates, and specific settings involved in the study as well as other contextual issues.
End the Discussion section with a reasoned and justifiable commentary on the importance of your findings. This concluding section may be brief or extensive provided that it is tightly reasoned, self-contained, and not overstated. In this section, you might briefly return to a discussion of why the problem is important (as stated in the introduction); what larger issues, those that transcend the particulars of the subfield, might hinge on the findings; and what propositions are confirmed or disconfirmed by the extrapolation of these findings to such overarching issues.
- Conclusion
Conclusions should answer the objectives of research. Tells how your work advances the field from the present state of knowledge. Without clear Conclusions, reviewers and readers will find it difficult to judge the work, and whether or not it merits publication in the journal. Do not repeat the Abstract, or just list experimental results. Provide a clear scientific justification for your work, and indicate possible applications and extensions. You should also suggest future experiments and/or point out those that are underway.
