Submitting your materials

Authors should follow the detailed instructions on how to prepare their manuscript here before submission.

Authors should submit their anonymized manuscript using the ScholarOne system (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/asianjls). Please add on a separate page before the title page of the same document the full contact details of the author, a bibliographical note of the author containing affiliation details (including country) and acknowledgements, an abstract of 100-150 words and five to six keywords. A references list should be included at the end of the article. Please submit in a single Word (.doc) document (Times New Roman) – 1.5 spacing for text (12 pt), footnotes (sequential numbering – 10 pt) and references (12 pt).

ORCID

Asian Journal of Law and Society now requires that all corresponding authors identify themselves using their ORCID iD when submitting a manuscript to the journal. ORCID provides a unique identifier for researchers and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript submission and grant applications, provides the following benefits:

  •  Discoverability: ORCID increases the discoverability of your publications, by enabling smarter publisher systems and by helping readers to reliably find work that you’ve authored.
  • Convenience: As more organisations use ORCID, providing your iD or using it to register for services will automatically link activities to your ORCID record, and will enable you to share this information with other systems and platforms you use, saving you re-keying information multiple times.
  • Keeping track: Your ORCID record is a neat place to store and (if you choose) share validated information about your research activities and affiliations.


If you don’t already have an iD, you’ll need to create one if you decide to submit a manuscript to Asian Journal of Law and Society . You can register for one directly from your user account on Scholar One or via https://ORCID.org/register.

If you already have an iD, please use this when submitting, either by linking it to your Scholar One account or supplying it during submission by using the “Associate your existing ORCID ID” button.
