Announcement of Template Revision

2026-05-05

The Editorial Board of the Journal of Law and Policy Transformation (JLPT) hereby announces that, effective from the June 2026 issue (Volume 11 and subsequent issues), the journal will implement a revised manuscript template. This change is part of JLPT’s ongoing commitment to improving the quality, consistency, and academic rigor of its published works.

The new template introduces updated formatting standards, structural organization, and submission requirements designed to enhance clarity, readability, and alignment with international academic publishing practices. Authors are therefore required to strictly follow the revised template in preparing and submitting their manuscripts for all issues beginning with Volume 11.

All prospective contributors are strongly encouraged to carefully review and apply the updated guidelines as outlined in the attached template (Right Side of the Website) prior to submission. Manuscripts that do not conform to the new format may be returned for revision before proceeding to the review stage.

This policy is intended to ensure uniformity across publications and to maintain the scholarly standards of JLPT. The Editorial Board appreciates the cooperation of all authors in adhering to this updated requirement.
