Focus and Scope

Hipotenusa: Journal of Mathematical Society, an electronic journal, provides a forum for publishing the original research articles, review articles from contributors, and the novel technology news related to mathematics education and mathematical modelling. This journal is provided for writers, teachers, students, professors, and researchers, who will publish their research reports or their literature review articles (only for invited contributors) about mathematics education and its instructional. Start from December 2019, this journal publishes two times a year, in June and December. Besides regular writers, for each volume, the contents will be contributed by invited contributors who experts in mathematics education either from Indonesia or abroad.

Hipotenusa focuses on publishing articles resulting from field research on the development of mathematics learning tools and mathematical modeling. The development of learning tools studied can take the form of developing learning plans, teaching materials, assessment instruments, and technology or learning media. Hipotenusa also publishes scientific articles about mathematical modeling which can be a form of realistic mathematics in the field.

Peer Review Process

Hipotenusa is scientific, peer-reviewed and open access journal published by IAIN Salatiga in collaboration with ADSMAPETA & APSMAPETA. The manuscript will be sent to at least two anonymous referees for contribution, originality, relevance, and presentation (double-blind review). Reviewers' comments are then sent to the corresponding author for necessary actions and responses. The Editor shall inform you of the results of the review as soon as possible, hopefully in 30 to 60 days. The submitted manuscript is first reviewed by an editor. It will be evaluated in the office, whether it is suitable for the JPM focus and scope or has a major methodological flaw and similarity score.

The accepted research articles will be available online (free download) following the journal peer-reviewing process. The final decision of articles acceptance will be made by Editors according to Reviewers comments. Plagiarism detection of articles in this journal is carried out by using ithenticate.com (Web Checker). The journal is carried out by using Mendeley as a Tool Reference Manager. The language used in this journal is English and Indonesian.

All articles published Open Access will be immediately and permanently free for everyone to read and download.

Plagiarism is copying another person’s text or ideas and passing the copied material as your own work. You must both delineate (i.e., separate and identify) the copied text from your text and give credit to (i.e., cite the source) the source of the copied text to avoid accusations of plagiarism.  Plagiarism is considered fraud and has potentially harsh consequences including loss of job, loss of reputation, and the assignation of reduced or failing grade in a course."

This definition of plagiarism applies for copied text and ideas:
  1. Regardless of the source of the copied text or idea.

  3. Regardless of whether or not the authorship of the text or idea which you copy is known
  4. Regardless of the nature of your text (journal paper/article, web page, book chapter, paper submitted for a college course, etc) into which you copy the text or idea
  5. Regardless of whether or not the author of the source of the copied material gives permission for the material to be copied; and
  6. Regardless of whether you are or are not the author of the source of the copied text or idea (self-plagiarism).
