We strongly recommend authors to use reference tools, such as Mendeley, Zotero, Endnote, etc. When writing a reference list, please use the following conventions;

  • Nur, T. (2008). Verba dalam Bahasa Arab dan Bahasa Indonesia: Studi Gramatika Konstasif. (Unpublished Dissertation). Universitas Gadjah Mada. Yogyakarta
  • Reid, A. (2011). Menuju sejarah Sumatra: Antara Indonesia dan dunia. Jakarta: Yayasan Obor.
  • Zachareck, S. (2008). Natural women. The New York Times. http://www.nytimes.com /2008/04/27/books/review/Zachareck
When writing an in-text citation, please use the following conventions:
  • As Rowe (2014) asserts, “‘Transnationalism’ also refers to American Studies done by international scholars outside the U.S. especially scholarship that emphasizes the influence of the U.S. abroad” (p. 1)
  • This research assigns the researcher to be the key instrument in his or her own research (Creswell, 2009, p. 211).
  • The New York Times (2020) interviewed their gay readers to reveal about the dynamics of gay relationship:                                                          I am in a same-sex relationship, and we are regularly flummoxed by how our heterosexual parent friends don’t split nighttime child care and sleep loss…In our house, parents are parents. There is no artificial distinction like fathers do this and mothers do that.
7. The editor appreciates if authors excerpt information from subsequent published articles in Jurnal Rubikon.

8. Articles should be submitted in soft files using Microsoft Word application to jurnal.rubikon@gmail.com
