EXPLANATION OF SYSTEMATICS WRITING

ABSTRACT. Research articles must have the main text prefaced with an abstract of no more than 250 words summarising the main arguments and conclusions of the article. The abstract should be consisted of: short background, research purposes or aims of programs, method, results and findings, and conclusion. The abstract should stand alone, meaning that there is must no citation in the Abstract. This must have the heading "Abstract" and be easily identified from the start of the main text.

A list of up to five keywords may be placed below the abstract. Keywords should be arranged alphabetically and separated by semicolons (;). The Abstract and Keywords should also be added to the metadata when making the initial online submission.

INTRODUCTION. The Introduction chapter contains the background of the problems, gap analyses and problems, and previous state-of-the-art research. Gap Analysis and Problems contain gaps between das solen (description of provisions, principles, principles, applicable legal doctrine) and das sein (description of empirical facts) and also contain a description of why research needs to be done, and or what is unique about this research compared to previous research. Besides that, there must also be research objectives, while the state of the art contains a description of research studies compared to previous research studies published in the Journal (at least refer to 5 Articles in 3 Accredited National Journals and 2 International Journals).

RESEARCH METHODS. Research methods include a discussion of approach methods, research specifications, types and techniques of data collection, and methods of data analysis. For conceptual idea articles, it is sufficient to discuss only the method of approach of the study placed at the end of the Introduction chapter.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION. This chapter contains scientific findings or findings that are followed by a scientific discussion. The description of the discussion in the chapter on Results and Discussion is descriptive, analytical, and critical. The description of the discussion should be adjusted to the sequence of legal issues that become the main elements of the study. The theories included in the theoretical framework should be cited in this chapter. In the conceptual idea article uses the term Discussion, which in it contains sub-sub according to the order of the problems. A description that uses a bullet or Arabic number must be made to follow the sentence. Not allowed to be made in the form of points down. Example: So far there are two voting data updating systems: (1) updating of active voter's data; and (2) passive data updating.

CONCLUSION. The concluding chapter basically contains the essence of the study and is also the answer to the problems studied in the article. Therefore, the preparation of the conclusion chapter should be adjusted to the order of the existing issues. In addition to containing the essence of the study, the conclusions can also be used to test whether or not research or study objectives are achieved.

REFERENCES. References in both research and conceptual articles contain all the references used in the study. References should be published in maximum in the last 10 (ten) years. The composition of the bibliography should be the primary sources (80%) ie national journals, international journals, theses, dissertations, and national and international conference proceedings. Other sources (20%) may be books or other reference sources. Each article must contain at least 20 (twenty) references and only references are used as excerpts that may be written in the References. Writing References are grouped according to the type of reference, for example, Books, Journal Articles, Online Sources, etc.
