Information About the Journal

Jurnal PPM is published annually in September by the Persatuan Pustakawan Malaysia (Librarians Association of Malaysia). The journal publishes original articles on all aspects of library and information science and invites contributions from librarians, information scientists, educators, administrators, publishers, and other interested persons.


Types of Contributions

  • The journal publishes original articles on all aspects of library and information science.
  • Submission Requirements
  • Only one copy of the manuscript needs to be submitted.

Format

Manuscripts can be written either in the Englsih or Malay language. However, manuscripts written in the Malay language must be accompanied by an abstract written in the Englsih language. Manuscripts should preferably be 2,500-5,000 words in length and must be word processed double spaced throughout (including notes and references) on A4 white paper using one side only. A 1 ½ inch margin should be left on all sides. Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts using at least Microsoft Word on a 3 1/2" disk or as an attached file with your email. The font type required is Times New Roman, 11pt. The first page of the manuscript should contain the following information:

        Title of article,
        Name(s) and affiliation of author(s),
        Complete address, including telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address.

The second page of the manuscript should only contain the title of the article and an abstract of about 150-200 words. The text of the manuscript should begin with the title, and must not contain the author's name(s). This is to ensure anonymity during the review process.

Accuracy of Material

It is the responsibility of the author to check the accuracy of all data, statements and references.

Copyright

It is a condition of publication that manuscripts submitted to the journal have not been published, accepted for publication nor simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere. By submitting a manuscript, the author(s) agree that copyright for the article is transferred to the publisher, if and when the manuscript is accepted for publication.

Style
The style of the manuscript should follow The Chicago Manual of Style, 14th ed. (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1993).

References should be cited in the text using the 'name and date' style, e.g. "Abercrombie (2005) note that …" or "research shows that … (Abercrombie, 2005)".
