Template Update Announcement for Authors — Starting December 2025 Issue (Vol. 16 No. 2)

Dear Authors and Contributors,

We are pleased to inform you that MAGISTRA: Media Pengembangan Ilmu Pendidikan Dasar dan Keislaman (Vol. 16 No. 2, December 2025) will implement a revised article template and updated author guidelines. These updates aim to improve publication quality, ensure international accessibility, and align with indexing requirements.

Starting from the December 2025 issue, the following changes will take effect:

  1. Removal of Author Phone Numbers
    All author contact information will be limited to email addresses only. The revised template no longer includes mobile phone numbers to protect author privacy and standardize contact formats.

  2. Full English-Language Manuscripts Required
    All submitted and accepted papers must be written entirely in English. This policy supports broader international readership and enhances citation potential.

  3. Submission Metadata Simplification
    The submission date, revision date, and acceptance date fields will be removed from the article metadata. Only the “Available Online” date will be displayed on the published version.

  4. Minimum Length and Visual Requirements
    Each article must contain at least 10 full pages, and include at least one table or one figure to support visual clarity and data presentation.

  5. Citation Requirements
    A minimum of 15 scholarly references is required per article, with at least 75% of the citations from recent sources (published within the last 5–7 years) to ensure relevance and contemporary contribution.

Authors are encouraged to download and use the new template, available on the journal’s website:
