1. Research Article

A research article is based on original research. It reports the methods and results of an original study performed by the author(s). We accept studies with quantitative and qualitative research methods, in all cases, analysis is performed on the basis of the collected data and conclusions are drawn from the analysis. The overall word count (excluding title, abstract and reference list) of the article is 6,000 to 8,000 words.

A research paper consists of these following parts:

  • Title: The title should consist a maximum of 20 words.
  • Abstract: An abstract should have maximum of 250 words. The abstract provides a brief summary of the research question being addressed, the method, a summary of result and discussion, and conclusions drawn.
  • Introduction: A brief introduction should cover the theoretical framework, significance of the study and its contribution/purpose. It also includes a review of the existing literature on the topic studied, and the rationale of the author's study. This is important because it demonstrates that the authors are aware of existing studies and are planning to contribute to this existing body of research in a substantial way.
  • Methods: A method section, where authors describe how they collect and analyzed data. JBB welcomes quantitative and qualitative research approach. Statistical analyses are included. This section is quite detailed, as it is important that other researchers be able to verify and/or replicate these methods.

In the discussion section, authors should explain their interpretation of their results and theorize on their importance to existing and future research.

2. Review Article

A review paper is based on other published articles. It does not report original research, but it generally summarizes the existing literature on a particular topic relevant to the JBB in an attempt to explain the current state of understanding and theoretical debate on the topic. Review articles are very important, as they draw upon the articles that they review to suggest new research directions, to strengthen support for existing theories and/or identify patterns among existing research studies. The overall word count (excluding title, abstract and reference list) of the article is 6,000 to 8,000 words.

A review paper consists of these following parts:

  • Title: The title should consist a maximum of 20 words.
  • Abstract: An abstract should have maximum of 250 words. An abstract provides a brief summary of the review question being addressed or rationale for the review, the major studies reviewed, and conclusions drawn.
  • Introduction: Introduce the topic and rationale for addressing this topic focusing on why this topic is important. Clearly define exactly what this article will discuss, outline the order in which author will discuss each subtopic to give the reader any background information needed to understand the coming sections.
  • Discussion: As the main part of the paper, this section provides the theoretical debate and further discussions about the topic. Authors are expected to demonstrate a strong and deep understanding of the body of literature and coherently expressed their expert review.
  • Conclusions: Authors should develop the conclusion by briefly restating the rationale for the review and the purpose of the article, then discussing the conclusions. Authors should also discuss the implications of the review findings and where further researches in this topic or field of study.
