Sikhay is part of FEU’s goal to publicly promote research that contributes to our understanding of our world and our place in it. The articles in Sikhay will not just report research findings, but will provoke deeper, more critical thought. Thus, Sikhay does not accept lesson plans or reviews for publication. In addition, Action Studies, Intervention Studies, or Impact Studies will not be accepted for publication. Most definitely, no full thesis will be accepted.

• All manuscripts should be written with proper citations and References using the American Psychological Association style (APA 7). (The following websites are recommended:  OWL@purdue.edu or APA Style
• The manuscript should be in MS Word format, not PDF.
• Authors should use Grammarly or a similar language-editing tool to ensure their work is free from grammatical, spelling, and language errors.
• All submissions must include the latest Turnitin Similarity Report generated from the final version of the manuscript. The Turnitin Report must be emailed with the manuscript.
• Articles must have a minimum of 5,000 words and must not exceed 8,000 words (word count includes abstract, tables, figures, references, foot/endnotes, acknowledgements, and author bio). All citations, references, and formatting of tables, and figures must conform to the standards of APA 7.
• Articles should be accompanied by an abstract of 150 words maximum. The abstract should be accompanied by 5 keywords.
• Articles and reviews may be submitted either in English or Filipino. Abstracts for contributions written in Filipino must also have an English abstract.
• The author bio includes the author’s name, course, latest educational attainment, a short description of current work or affiliation, and an email address other than the FEU student email. The bio must be between 50-70 words.
• Authors submitting manuscripts should not simultaneously submit them to another publication. Manuscripts should not have been published elsewhere in substantially similar form or with substantially similar content.

DOCUMENTS FOR SUBMISSION:

• An anonymized manuscript in MS Word format.
• A separate title page containing author information.
• A Turnitin Similarity Report generated from the final manuscript.
• An author biography (50–70 words per author).
• Any required ethics approval documentation, where applicable.

• Submissions may be submitted through email to the Editor-in-Chief at: nzarei@feu.edu.ph.

STRUCTURE OF ARTICLE

The format of articles will vary since Sikhay is a multidisciplinary journal. Thus, articles under the Institute of Education will differ in format from articles in Biology or Communications. The following basics should be observed:

• Title
• Author/s
• Degree course
• Corresponding author (if the article is co-authored, name one author to receive all communications for the group)
• Keywords (List five (5) keywords that best describe the article’s content)
• Abstract (a brief summary of the article: 150 words maximum)
• Structure of article  (IMRAD format, or alternative according to discipline)
• References (APA 7)

Please ensure your manuscript has undergone institutional ethical approval and is free from any plagiarism. State clearly if any AI has been used to edit grammar or assist in writing.
