B. Manuscript Structure & Formatting Guidelines

Authors are required to prepare their manuscripts according to the following structural specifications for Novela Journal of English Education, Technology and Innovation (NEETI) .

1. Article Title

Length: Maximum 15–20 words; concise, specific, informative, and clearly reflecting the main focus of the research.
Formatting: Font size 14pt, Bold, Center alignment.

2. Author Information

Provide the full name(s) of all author(s) without academic titles or degrees. Include institutional affiliation, department or study program, university or institution, city, and country. The corresponding author must provide an active email address.

3. Abstract & Keywords

Bilingual Requirement: Abstracts should be provided in English and Indonesian.
Length & Format: 150–250 words presented as a single paragraph covering the research background or problem, objectives, methodology, key findings, and implications.
Keywords: Provide 3–5 relevant terms or phrases separated by commas.

4. Introduction

The introduction should present the research background, educational or language-learning problem, research gap, significance of the study, relevant state-of-the-art literature, and explicit research objectives or research questions.

5. Literature Review & Theoretical Framework

Present relevant theories, concepts, previous empirical studies, and research gaps that support the research framework. Clearly explain relevant concepts, relationships, learning theories, pedagogical approaches, technological frameworks, or hypotheses where applicable.

6. Methodology

Clearly describe the research design, participants or population and sample, data sources, sampling techniques, data collection procedures, research instruments, variables or constructs, and data analysis methods. For qualitative studies, explain the research approach, participants, data collection, coding, and analytical procedures. For quantitative studies, clearly report the statistical methods and analytical models used. For technology-based or design-based research, describe the technological framework, development procedures, evaluation methods, and testing procedures where applicable.

For quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, or technology-based research, clearly report the following:
  1. Research Design: Explain the research approach and design used to address the research objectives.
  2. Participants and Data Sources: Describe the participants, population, sample, datasets, learning materials, or other data sources and the criteria used for selecting them.
  3. Data Collection: Explain the instruments, procedures, respondents, participants, observations, interviews, tests, questionnaires, documents, or datasets used in the study.
  4. Data Analysis: Describe the statistical techniques, qualitative analysis methods, learning analytics, computational procedures, or analytical models applied.
  5. Validity & Reliability: Report appropriate procedures for establishing validity, reliability, credibility, trustworthiness, or robustness of the research findings.
  6. Ethical Considerations: State relevant ethical considerations, informed consent procedures, confidentiality, participant protection, or other research ethics requirements where applicable.

7. Results and Discussion

Present the research findings clearly and systematically. Use appropriate tables, figures, statistical results, models, learning evidence, technological outputs, or qualitative evidence where relevant. Discuss the findings critically by connecting them with the research questions, theoretical framework, previous studies, and implications for English education, language learning, teaching practice, educational technology, assessment, or innovation.

8. Conclusion

Present concise conclusions that directly address the research objectives or research questions. Highlight the main theoretical and practical implications, acknowledge important limitations, and provide relevant recommendations for future research, teaching practice, language learning, educational technology, or pedagogical innovation.

9. References

Citation Style: Authors should consistently follow the citation and reference style specified in the NEETI manuscript template.
Source Quality: Authors are encouraged to prioritize relevant and recent peer-reviewed journal articles, scholarly books, conference proceedings, and authoritative institutional sources.
Reference Management: Authors are encouraged to use reference management tools such as Mendeley, Zotero, or EndNote to ensure consistency and accuracy.

Please ensure that your manuscript strictly follows these guidelines prior to submission to Novela Journal of English Education, Technology and Innovation (NEETI) .
