Manuscript Template
To support authors in preparing and submitting their manuscripts, the International Journal of Education and Teaching Zone (IJETZ) provides three versions of its manuscript template, reflecting the journal’s formatting developments and editorial improvements over time. The first template was used during 2022–2025, followed by the updated Manuscript Template (Starting 2026), and subsequently the Revised Manuscript Template (Starting Edition October 2026). Authors are encouraged to select the appropriate template according to their submission period and follow the latest author guidelines. Each template is available in Microsoft Word (.docx) format and can be downloaded directly using the corresponding download link below.
1. Revised Manuscript Template (Starting Edition October 2026)
Effective from Volume 5, Issue 3 (October 2026), IJETZ introduced a further revision of its manuscript template to strengthen editorial standards, research transparency, publication ethics, and accountability. This version retains the academic and formatting requirements of the previous template while incorporating six additional declarations: Author Contributions, Funding, Conflict of Interest, Data Availability Statement, Ethical Approval and Informed Consent, and Declaration of Generative AI and AI-Assisted Technologies. These declarations have been implemented across all articles published in Volume 5, Issue 3 and will become mandatory for subsequent submissions under the journal’s 2027 guidelines. The revised template also specifies a structured manuscript format, an abstract of 150–250 words, 3–5 keywords, at least 50 references, and a manuscript length of 12–20 pages. These additions clarify expectations concerning authorship responsibilities, research funding, competing interests, data accessibility, ethical compliance, and the responsible use of artificial intelligence. Overall, this revision reinforces IJETZ’s commitment to research integrity, editorial transparency, academic accountability, and internationally recognized publishing standards.

The revised format also emphasizes clearer presentation of research objectives, methodological procedures, findings, research novelty, and scholarly contributions. These improvements reinforce IJETZ's commitment to editorial excellence, academic rigor, publication consistency, and continuous enhancement of its scholarly publishing standards.

Beyond offering formatting guidance, this initial template laid the groundwork for IJETZ’s editorial identity, publication consistency, and academic writing standards. It also reflects the journal’s commitment to academic rigor, clarity of presentation, and a reliable framework for scholarly communication. By establishing expectations for manuscript preparation, the template supported authors and editors in maintaining consistency throughout the submission and publication process. Overall, it represents an important milestone in IJETZ’s development, documenting the journal’s publishing practices and providing a foundation for improvements in editorial management, scholarly quality, and manuscript preparation guidelines.
