The KIRYOKU Journal accepts manuscripts or articles in Japanese literature, language, and culture from various national and international academics and researchers written in Indonesian and English.

 

The articles published in the journal KIRYOKU have gone through a review process by peer reviewers. The decision to accept or not accept a scientific article in this journal becomes the Editorial Board's right based on recommendations from peer reviewers.

 

2. Manuscript Title, Name, and Author's Address

The title of the manuscript, the author's name (without an academic degree), and the address of the author's affiliation are written in the middle on the first page below the manuscript title. The distance between the manuscript title and the author's name is two spaces, while the distance between the author's affiliate address and the abstract's title is one space.

Keywords need to be written to describe the problem under study and the main terms underlying the research. Keywords can be a single word or word combination. The number of keywords is 3 - 5 words. For articles written in Indonesian, write the translation of the manuscript title in English at the beginning of the English abstract text (see example above). These keywords are needed for computerization. The search for research titles and abstracts are easier by these keywords.

The Author or correspondence Author must be marked by an asterisk followed by a comma "*)" like the example above. At the bottom of the left column the first page/abstract. Must be written the responsible Author or Corresponding Author's email address (see example). Article revisions and final decisions will only be communicated by email to the correspondence writer.

Suppose more than one Author writes the authors' names separated by commas (,). If the Author's name consists of two words, the first word, the Author (first name), should not be abbreviated. If the Author's name consists of only one word, write the real name in one word, however in the online version (HTML), it will be written in two words that contain the same name (repeated) for indexing metadata (Camdali & Tunc, 2006; Fridman, 2008).
