Author Guidelines

Transactions on Islam, Science, and Society (TISS) Proceedings

Editorial Criteria

• The title should clearly reflect a specific focus of study and may include a sub-title to specify the research scope.

• Articles must be based on original research—whether library, fieldwork, or other empirical studies.

• The bibliography should include primary sources (books, manuscripts, interviews, observations) and updated secondary references (books or peer-reviewed journals).

• The manuscript should present a clear argument, thesis, or finding that contributes to scholarly discourse in its field, consistently reflected in the abstract, main content, and conclusion.

• Manuscripts must be written in clear academic English (or Arabic). Authors are responsible for language accuracy; the TISS editorial team will correct only minor typographical or grammatical errors.

• The style, structure, footnotes, and bibliography must adhere to the TISS template and formatting standards.

Manuscript Requirements

Authors submitting to TISS must ensure their manuscripts conform to the following guidelines:

• Papers should focus on themes related to Islam, science, and society, and be written in English or Arabic.

• Manuscripts must be typed in 1.5 line spacing on A4-size paper.

• The length of the paper should be between 5,000–8,000 words (excluding bibliography).

• Each submission must include an abstract of 150–200 words and 3–5 keywords.

• The full name(s) of the author(s), along with institutional affiliation(s), complete address(es), and active email(s) must be clearly stated.

• Submissions should be prepared in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, RTF, or WordPerfect format.

• Arabic words must be transliterated according to the TISS transliteration style (Surat keputusan bersama (SKB) Menteri Agama dan Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan R.I. Nomor: 158 Tahun 1987 dan Nomor: 0543b/U/1987).

References and Citation

References and citations must be formatted using reference Manager such Zotero or Mendeley, following the IEEE Explore format (see the example).

To get IEEE citation samples in Zotero or Mendeley, you need to first select the IEEE style from the both style manager and then use it to generate citations. For a book, the sample citation would look like: M. Johnson, Modern Education Techniques, 3rd ed. Boston: Education Press, 2022. For a journal article, it would be: L. Smith, “Technology in the Classroom: A New Era,” Journal of Educational Technology, vol. 10, no. 2, pp. 45-50, 2023.

In-text citations
IEEE uses a numbered system, so you'll insert the reference number in brackets.
For example, "Smith states that..." or "This principle was discovered by Archimedes [5-8]".
To cite a range of references, Zotero can automatically convert multiple individual numbers into a range, like [5] [6] [7] [8] to [5-8]
