  1. Plagiarism Concerns. Nabawi: Jurnal Penelitian Pendidikan Islam (NJPPI) prioritizes addressing the issue of plagiarism. Every aspect of the manuscript will undergo a thorough plagiarism check before being accepted for publication.

  1. Title Guidelines:
  • The title should be concise, specific, and impactful, with a maximum length of 15 words.
  • All titles must follow title case formatting, where the first letter of each significant word is capitalized, excluding prepositions, conjunctions, and articles.
  • Exception: The first word of the title or subtitle is always capitalized, irrespective of whether it is an article, preposition, or conjunction.
  • Avoid using all capital letters in titles (e.g., "CHAPTER TITLE" is incorrect; "Title of Chapter" is correct).
  1. Headings. Kindly adhere to the formatting template provided below for all titles in your manuscript. You have the flexibility to customize the headings within your text based on the content of your manuscript. It's important to note that headings and subheadings should not be assigned numerical values (e.g., 1. Introduction, 2. Background, etc.).
