EDITORIAL POLICY AND SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Style
Submission of a manuscript to the WILAYAH : The International Journal of East Asian Studies (e-ISSN 2462-2257) implies that it has not been published and that it is not currently on offer to any other publisher, and it has not been submitted elsewhere until a decision is received from this journal. Articles, which do not conform to the format described below, will not be considered for publication. All manuscripts under consideration for publication will be refereed via a blind reviewing process, and it will be open-access. Both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process.
Language
The language used in all papers submitted should be either English or Bahasa Malayu. As for the manuscript written in English, you may wish to have it edited for language before submitting your manuscript. This is not a mandatory step but may help ensure that journal editors and reviewers fully understand the academic content of your paper. In acceptance, we will ask authors to render articles according to the full style guide.
Use of non-English Text
A non-English term should be italicised, but the s-ending (if added) in its anglicised plural form should not be italicised. Note that the names of institutions and movements, local or foreign, and names of currencies, local or foreign, should not be italicised. Quotations from books or direct speech in a non-English language should be set in quotation marks and should not be italicised, followed by an English translation in square brackets. Quotations translated by the author of the manuscript into English should be so indicated.
Tables and Illustrations
Tables, figures, diagrams, and maps should be kept to a minimum and contain only essential data. They should appear separately at the end of the text and should conform to page size. Tables should be numbered in sequence with Arabic numerals and contain brief explanatory captions, each on a separate sheet. Figures, diagrams, and maps should be designated "Figures" and included in a single numbered series separate from the tables. The approximate positions of tables and figures should be indicated in the text by typing in a separate line "Insert Table Here" or "Insert Figure Here". Sources of tables and figures should be cited. The author is responsible for getting permission from copyright holders to reproduce visual materials to be published in WILAYAH.
Manuscript
Papers should preferably be in the range of 6,000 to 8,000 words, excluding illustrations. The text should be in Times New Roman size 12 and be submitted as a Microsoft Word file. The receipt of each paper submitted will be acknowledged. The Editor reserves the right to accept, modify or decline any article. All manuscripts for publishing are to be typed in single-spacing. The pages should be numbered consecutively. The editor reserves the right to edit /format the manuscript to maintain a consistent style.
Peer-Review Policy: Review of Manuscripts
Manuscripts will be reviewed by the Editorial Board and then a panel of referees. Comments will be made available to the contributors without disclosing the referees' names. The manuscript will be evaluated based on its appropriateness, contribution to the discipline, cogency of analysis, conceptual breadth, clarity of presentation, and technical adequacy. To ensure that manuscripts are evaluated solely on their merit, the author's identity is concealed from referees during the review process.
All submitted manuscripts to WILAYAH are subject to initial appraisal by the Editorial Board and, if found suitable for further consideration, to blind peer review by at least a single independent, anonymous experts in the field. The reviews' recommendations are taken into consideration by the Editors in arriving at publication and revision decisions. Comments and feedback from the external reviewers are sent to the authors, and they are notified of the journal's decision (accept, accept with revisions, reject). The entire review process will anywhere between 3 and 5 months after the submission of the manuscript. Throughout the process, all communications, review reports, and decisions are treated confidentially at all times. The Editors' decision is final. All new submissions to the WILAYAH are automatically screened using Turnitin within the editorial system. Editors may also choose to run a similarity report at any other point during the review process or post-publication. The default similarity report view (inside Turnitin) gives the percentage of the manuscript's text, which has overlap with one or more published articles.

Information on Referencing
Types of citations
We has changed from footnote to APA (7th Edition) style citation.
For further detail please refer this link
https://libguides.jcu.edu.au/apa/in-text#:~:text=For%20APA%2C%20you%20use%20the,to%20use%20a%20page%20number.&text=Parenthetical%20citations%3A,2020%2C%20p.%2029).
There are two basic ways to cite someone's work in text.
In narrative citations, the authors are part of the sentence - you are referring to them by name. For example:
Becker (2013) defined gamification as giving the mechanics of principles of a game to other activities.
Cho and Castañeda (2019) noted that game-like activities are frequently used in language classes that adopt mobile and computer technologies.
In parenthetical citations, the authors are not mentioned in the sentence, just the content of their work. Place the citation at the end of the sentence or clause where you have used their information. The author's names are placed in the brackets (parentheses) with the rest of the citation details:
Gamification involves giving the mechanics or principles of a game to another activity (Becker, 2013).
Increasingly, game-like activities are frequently used in language classes that adopt mobile and computer technologies (Cho & Castañeda, 2019).
In-text citations
Using references in text
For APA, you use the authors' surnames only and the year in text. If you are using a direct quote, you will also need to use a page number.
Narrative citations:
If an in-text citation has the authors' names as part of the sentence (that is, outside of brackets) place the year and page numbers in brackets immediately after the name, and use 'and' between the authors' names: Jones and Smith (2020, p. 29)
Parenthetical citations:
If an in-text citation has the authors' names in brackets use "&" between the authors' names : (Jones & Smith, 2020, p. 29).
If the direct quote starts on one page and finishes on another, include the page range (Jones & Smith, 2020, pp. 29-30).
1 author
Smith (2020) found that "the mice disappeared within minutes" (p. 29).
The author stated "the mice disappeared within minutes" (Smith, 2020, p. 29).
2 authors
Jones and Smith (2020) found that "the mice disappeared within minutes" (p. 29).
The authors stated "the mice disappeared within minutes" (Jones & Smith, 2020, p. 29).
For 3 or more authors, use the first author and "et al." for all in-text citations
Green et al.'s (2019) findings indicated that the intervention was not based on evidence from clinical trials.
It appears the intervention was not based on evidence from clinical trials (Green et al., 2019).
If you cite more than one work in the same set of brackets in text, your citations will go in the same order in which they will appear in your reference list (i.e. alphabetical order, then oldest to newest for works by the same author) and be separated by a semi-colon. E.g.:
- (Corbin, 2015; James & Waterson, 2017; Smith et al., 2016).
- (Corbin, 2015; 2018)
- (Queensland Health, 2017a; 2017b)
- Use only the surnames of your authors in text (e.g., Smith & Brown, 2014) - however, if you have two authors with the same surname who have published in the same year, then you will need to use their initials to distinguish between the two of them (e.g., K. Smith, 2014; N. Smith, 2014). Otherwise, do not use initials in text.
