Quick Summary: Manis: Jurnal Manajemen dan Bisnis accepts two manuscript types: Original Research Articles and Literature Review Articles. Manuscripts must be original, relevant to management and business studies, methodologically sound, and prepared according to the journal's Author Guidelines and official template.

A. MANUSCRIPT TYPES POLICY

The journal provides a scholarly platform for empirical research and critical reviews of established and emerging knowledge in management, business, and related fields. All submissions are assessed for relevance, originality, methodological rigor, scholarly contribution, and compliance with publication ethics.

Original Research Article

An original study presenting new empirical evidence, analytical findings, or research-based insights.

Literature Review Article

A structured and critical synthesis of existing scholarly literature that provides meaningful new insights.

B. ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLES

Original Research Articles report findings from a clearly defined research problem using an appropriate research design and a transparent analytical approach. Quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, case study, and other suitable empirical approaches are welcome.

Essential characteristics:

  • A clear research question, objective, and contribution;
  • A relevant theoretical or conceptual foundation;
  • A research method described with sufficient detail;
  • Original analysis and findings supported by evidence;
  • Critical discussion of implications, limitations, and conclusions.

Suggested structure: Title, Author Information, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, and References, following the official manuscript template.

C. LITERATURE REVIEW ARTICLES

Literature Review Articles provide a coherent, analytical, and critical examination of existing research within a clearly defined topic in management or business. A review must move beyond describing individual studies by identifying patterns, disagreements, knowledge gaps, theoretical implications, or opportunities for future investigation.

Review approaches may include:

Systematic Literature Review (SLR)

Uses a clearly documented search, screening, selection, appraisal when relevant, and synthesis procedure.

Narrative Literature Review

Offers a critical, conceptually organized discussion and synthesis of a relevant body of research, with a transparent explanation of how literature was identified and selected.

Bibliometric Review

Examines scholarly publication patterns, networks, themes, or research trends using appropriately documented bibliographic data and analysis.

Essential characteristics:

  • A clear review objective, question, and scope;
  • Credible scholarly sources relevant to the topic;
  • A transparent literature search and selection approach appropriate to the review type;
  • Critical comparison and synthesis rather than a simple list or summary of publications;
  • Explicit identification of theoretical, methodological, or empirical research gaps;
  • Well-supported conclusions, implications, and directions for future research.

Suggested structure: Title, Author Information, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Review Methodology, Findings and Synthesis, Discussion, Conclusion, and References. For systematic reviews, authors should document screening and selection decisions and use relevant reporting guidance where applicable.

  • Human Resource Management;
