• Easily update references during manuscript revision.

All manuscripts submitted to PLUSMINUS: Jurnal Pendidikan Matematika must use APA Style (7th Edition) for both in-text citations and reference lists.

Authors using Mendeley, Zotero, EndNote, or other reference management software should select the APA 7th Edition citation style before generating citations and bibliographies.

The Editorial Board recommends that authors ensure all references are complete and accurate, including DOI information and URLs whenever available.

Authors are encouraged to cite relevant, recent, and high-quality scholarly sources. Whenever possible, references should be drawn from peer-reviewed journal articles, particularly those published within the last five years. Authors should avoid excessive reliance on non-academic websites, unpublished materials, or sources that cannot be verified.
