AUTHOR GUIDELINES

 1. Author Guide

 Authors are required to submit their manuscripts electronically by using the CELTIC online submission and review website. New authors are required to register first before they can send their manuscript at https://ejournal.umm.ac.id/index.php/celtic/user/register. Existing authors can submit their manuscript after logging in to the website. Any questions related to the online submission can be emailed to celtic@umm.ac.id.

Submission of a manuscript implies that the paper is the author(s)’ own work which has not been previously published, nor is it under consideration for publication elsewhere and that if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in English or in other languages. To verify originality, your article will be checked using the originality detection service Turnitin.

Authors are encouraged to carefully consider the list and order of authorship before submitting their manuscript. Addition, deletion or rearrangement of authorship should be made only before the manuscript is accepted—such a request will not be processed after the work is accepted for publication. The request should be made in written and emailed to celtic@umm.ac.id.

Authors are required to acknowledge the financial support received for conducting the research and to briefly describe the roles of the sponsors, if any, in the study. See ‘Template’ for the funding acknowledgment information. As a peer-reviewed academic journal, CELTIC requires its authors to strongly uphold academic ethics when conducting and reporting their research for publication.
