Call for Proposals for Issues on May 2026

The May issue of Jurnal Bikotetik (Bimbingan dan Konseling; Teori dan Praktik) is intended to address topics that have the potential to advance scientific knowledge, professional practice, and/or policy, and that align closely with the journal’s mission. We welcome original research focusing on issues faced by practitioners (e.g., teachers, counselors) and academics. Priority will be given to manuscripts that examine theory, interventions, and evidence-based innovations in guidance and counseling services within educational and psychological contexts.

The May 2026 issue aims to highlight topics that are relatively new yet expected to play a significant role in advancing the field, as well as topics that have generated substantial research in recent years but would benefit from a contemporary update on their current status or empirical evidence base. This issue is expected to attract strong scholarly interest and readership, and the published issue should include several empirical papers, each demonstrating a clear and direct relevance to the selected theme.
