SYSTEMATICS OF WRITING

  1. Introduction: The introduction section of a manuscript should provide a clear explanation of the legal issue to be discussed. It should also include background information, a brief literature review to highlight previous research, the author's objectives and limitations, and the scientific significance of the study. Additionally, the introduction should address the urgency of the research and clearly state the aims and problem being investigated.
  2. Research Methods: the methodology section of a research paper should be written in a descriptive manner. It should include details about the type of research, research approach, data source, and analysis method. The author should also explain how they analyze the legal issue being studied. However, this method is optional and only applicable for original research articles, not for conceptual ideas without a specific research method.
  3. Results and Discussion: The Results and Discussion chapter is where the scientific findings of the study are presented and analyzed. It includes a descriptive, analytical, and critical discussion that is tailored to the sequence of legal issues examined in the research. The chapter also cites relevant theories from the theoretical framework and, in the case of a conceptual idea article, may contain subsections addressing specific problems in order.
  4. Conclusion: The concluding chapter of a research article summarizes the main findings and addresses the research problems discussed in the article. It should not repeat the abstract or merely describe the results. Instead, it should provide a clear explanation of the potential applications and suggestions related to the research findings, as a lack of a clear conclusion makes it challenging for reviewers and readers to evaluate the significance of the work.
  5. Acknowledgment: The "Acknowledgment" section is included in a research manuscript to express gratitude towards individuals who have provided assistance or funding for the research or publication but are not listed as co-authors.
  6. References: references are used to cite the sources that were consulted during the study. These references should primarily consist of recent publications from national and international journals, theses, dissertations, and conference proceedings. Other sources, such as books or reference materials, can make up a smaller portion of the references. Each article should include a minimum of 20 references, and they are typically organized into categories like books, journal articles, and online sources.
