PETUNJUK PENULISAN DAN KIRIM ARTIKEL JURNAL GEMA TEOLOGIKA

 

INTRODUCTION

Gema Teologika is published by the Faculty of Theology Duta Wacana Christian University. The journal receives articles from both national and international authors. The articles should be of field research-based  or scholarly reviews. All articles published are blind-reviewed by appointed peer reviewers before publication. 

  

FORMAT OF TITLE, AUTHOR'S NAME AND AFFILIATION

The title of the article and the author's name (without academic title) are written in the upper center-text, while the author's affiliation and his/her email address are written at the bottom of the page. The space between the title of the article and the author's name is 1.5, so is the space between the author's affiliation and the title of the abstract. Keywords must be written under the abstract, arranged alphabetically, separated by semicolon, consisting of 3-5 words. If an article is written in the Indonesian language, its English title should also appear in the beginning of the English-version abstract (see the above example).

The corresponding author must be marked with asterisk between quotation marks "*". The name and  email address of the corresponding author should appear at the bottom left of the page. Information concerning revision and final decision is sent to the email address of the corresponding author. If there are more than one author, all the authors' names are written, separated by comma (,). If the author's name consists of two words, the first name should not be acronymic. If the author's name only consists of one single word, the name is written as it is. In the online version (HTML), however, it should be written as two words by repeating the single-word name for the sake of metadata index (Camdali & Tunc, 2006; Fridman, 2008).
