Introduction

 

The Introduction part should contain at least five previous studies concerning the topic. At this point, the authorshould emphasize the urgency of the research, as well as the significance of the research. Authors also have to explore and combine some previous studies. It is important for readers to know the uniqueness, novelty, urgency, and significance of research. Most readers are non-native English speakers, therefore, authors should use a formal simple language, as well as, for international readers, authors also have to add and improve some global perspectives.

The introduction should be clear and provide the issue to be discussed in the manuscript. Before the objective, authors should provide an adequate background, and very short literature survey in order to record the existing solutions, to show which is the best of previous studies, to show the main limitation of the previous studies, to show what do you hope to achieve (to solve the limitation), and to show the scientific merit or novelties of the paper.

Citation should be in the footnote model. The Authors have to use Mendeley citation software, and the citation model should be Chicago Manual Style 17th edition (Full Note) automatically by Mendeley. Authors should use at least 25 references (the latest in the past five years). The footnotes used in references in this journal are not only used as source credit for the reference, but it is highly recommended for the author to write some notes, arguments, or brief reviews in the footnotes. Thus, footnotes are not only limited to a reference source, but also notes from the author. At the end of the paragraph, the author/s should end with a comment on the significance concerning identification of the issue and objective of the research.

Minimum length of manuscript is 6000 words including footnote (exclude abstract and references). All submitted manuscripts are read by the editorial staff. Those manuscripts evaluated by editors to be inappropriate to journal criteria are rejected promptly without external review. Manuscripts evaluated to be of potential interest to our readership are sent to double blind reviewers. The editors then make a decision based on the reviewer’s recommendation from among several possibilities: rejected, require major revision, need minor revision, or accepted. The Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Law and Legal Reform has the right to decide which manuscripts submitted to the journal should be published.

Submitted manuscripts will generally be reviewed by two or more experts who will be asked to evaluate whether the manuscript is scientifically sound and coherent, whether it duplicates already published work, and whether or not the manuscript is sufficiently clear for publication. The Editors will reach a decision based on these reports and, where necessary, they will consult with members of the Editorial Board.

The Journal of Law and Legal Reform seeks to disseminate information and views on matters relating to law reform, including developments in case and statute law, as well as proposals for law reform, be they from formal law reform bodies or from other institutions or individuals. The Journal publishes articles, case and legislation notes and comments and reviews of books on law reform-related themes that offer insightful commentary on Indonesian and comparative law. It is published quarterly in January, April, July, and October. This law journal also promotes legal scholarship in its political, philosophical, and social contexts. The Journal of Law and Legal Reformhas a high commitment to respond and provide growing demand among scholars, legislators and practitioners of law in the private and public sectors for a forum for authoritative views on law reform in Indonesia, Asia and the World. A related purpose is to provide a systematic review of major initiatives for reform of laws and legal practice. The Journal of Law and Legal Reform publishes cutting-edge legal scholarship by both academics and legal practitioners.
