Although academic journals in Indonesia have been required to transition to online systems, particularly the Open Journal Systems (OJS), for nearly the past two years, many authors are still not yet familiar with submitting manuscripts through OJS. For those who wish to submit a manuscript to INKLUSI: Journal of Disability Studies, we provide the following step-by-step submission guidelines.

***

All authors using an OJS-based journal management system are required to be registered. Therefore, the first step is, of course, to create an account (register). Click the Register menu at the top of the page (see Figure 1).
