In addition, this journal does not accept the term “Normative Legal Research”; instead, it only recognizes the following legal research terms: Doctrinal Legal Research, Non-Doctrinal Legal Research, and Integrative Legal Research. The format for submitted articles is as follows:

A.    Introduction

Introduction should be clear and provide the issue to be discussed in the article. Introduction should be consist of the background, theory approach, state of the art, and gap analysis. At the end of the paragraph, the author should end with a comment on the significance concerning identification of the issue.

B.     Method

     The research method should be written in a highly technical manner, clearly explaining how the research was conducted. The research method section must consist of more than two paragraphs. For articles using Doctrinal Legal Research, a separate research method section is not required; instead, the author may briefly describe the method in one paragraph at the end of the Introduction section.

C.    Results and Discussion

This section is the most important part of the article. It presents the findings related to the object of study and should be written clearly and comprehensively. This section should also explore the significance of the research findings through a well-developed elaboration of the research results, relevant theories, concepts, and previous studies. However, for articles using Doctrinal Legal Research, a separate “Results and Discussion” section is not required; authors may proceed directly to the first substantive discussion heading after the “Introduction” section.

D.    Conclusion

The conclusion and suggestion may be presented in a short, which may stand alone or form a different section of a Analysis and Discussion section.
