2. Manuscripts for GPrEEc are highly encouraged to be submitted online by registering on the website: https://journal.unesa.ac.id/index.php/GPrEEc/login

3. The manuscript must be either original research (research article) or a literature review (review article).

4. Submitted manuscripts must not have been published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Authors must include a Statement of Originality during the submission process.

5. Manuscripts must be written in English, with a length of 5 to 15 pages.

11. Research articles must include: Title; Authors Name; Authors Affiliation; Abstract; Keywords; Methods; Results and Discussion; Conclusions; Acknowledgments; and References.

12. Figures are sequentially numbered commencing at 1 with the figure title and number below the figure. Figure require high-resolution (300–600 DPI) images in TIFF or EPS formats, with vector files (PDF/EPS) preferred for graphs and 600 DPI for halftone images.

17. In Introduction, Authors should state the objectives of the work at the end of the introduction section. Before the objective, Authors should provide an adequate background, and very short literature survey in order to record the existing solutions/method, to show which is the best of previous research, to show the main limitation of the previous research, to show what do you hope to achieve (to solve the limitation), and to show the scientific merit or novelties of the paper. Avoid a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.

18. This journal opens to variety of qualitative research studies such as case study, narrative inquiry, philosophical inquiry, etnography, critical discourse analysis, and policy critique. Most of our submissions follow formal academic publishing guidelines, but we welcome creative and imaginative ways to explore qualitative methods and are open to conversations about the format and presentation of submissions.

20. 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. 

21. 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? 

22. Mathematical equations should be written using Microsoft Equation Editor or Design Science: MathType – Equation Editor. Equation numbers must be placed on the right side in order of appearance.

23. Conclusions should answer the objectives of research. 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.

24. References must be listed in alphabetical order. Every cited source must appear in the reference list, and every item in the reference list must be cited in the manuscript. A minimum of 15 references is required, with at least 80% from recent scholarly journal articles (published within the last 10 years). Reference management using Mendeley, EndNote, or Zotero with APA style is highly recommended.

25. All articles submitted to Glocal Praxis in Elementary Education (GPrEEc) will undergo a blind peer review by at least one expert in the field. Manuscript acceptance depends on the novelty, significance, accuracy, originality, clarity, and alignment with the journal’s objectives.
