  2. Revised Manuscript. Taallum: Jurnal Pendidikan Islam, will not publish manuscripts that are revised versions of texts that you publish elsewhere. To be considered authentic, a manuscript must be at least 80% containing new material with no more than 200 consecutive words (properly quoted) repeated word for word from each previously published work.

  4. Plagiarism. Taallum: Jurnal Pendidikan Islam is very concerned about the problem of plagiarism. All manuscripts will be checked for every part indicated to be plagiarized before being accepted for publication. Please ensure that all information taken from outside sources is quoted correctly and that all thoughts are arranged in your own words. All instances of plagiarism will soon be returned to the author for correction and can result in the removal of the manuscript from publication.
  5. The Title. The title must be concise, specific, and effective, not exceeding 15 words. First, Note that all titles must be included in the case title. Second, To place a title in the case title, the first letter of each word must be capitalized unless the word is a preposition (position of words such as "more," "with," or "between"), conjunctions (connecting words like "and" or "but"), or articles ("a," "an," or "the"). The only exception to this rule is that the first word of the title or subtitle is always capitalized, even if it is an article, preposition, or conjunction. Third, Titles should not be written in all capital letters (for example, "CHAPTER TITLE" is incorrect; "Title of Chapter" is correct;)
  6. Headings. Please format all titles as in the script formatting template below. The name of the headings in the contents of your text can be adjusted according to the contents of your manuscript. Note that headings and subheadings should NOT be numbered (for example, 1. Introduction, 2. Background, etc.).
