JurisPolitica is dedicated to publishing innovative and original scholarship in the fields of law and political sciences. To maintain the highest standard of academic excellence, authors are expected to adhere to the following guidelines:
- Manuscripts must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration by any other journal. Once published in this journal, the author may not submit or republish the article in any other journal.
- Research derived from PhD or master's theses or previously published books may be considered only if it offers significant new insights or value, subject to prior approval by the Editorial Board.
- Submissions should address contemporary, original, and innovative topics, concentrating directly on the core research questions without extensive theoretical background. Any necessary context should be supported by appropriate references to existing literature.
- Authors are encouraged to adopt a critical perspective, offering in-depth analysis of their topics and exploring the associated challenges and implications.
Research should include actionable recommendations and proposals that address the identified issues or suggest avenues for future research.
Each manuscript accepted for publication must be formatted according to the template below before being processed. At this stage, the manuscript will be considered the definitive version of the article. Authors must ensure that the final manuscript adheres strictly to the following format:
- Word Count: Submissions must not exceed 8,000 words. Manuscripts should be in Times New Roman, size 12, single-spaced for the main text, and size 10, single-spaced for footnotes.
- Abstract and Keywords: Each manuscript must include an abstract of no more than 250 words, summarizing the research objectives, methodology, key findings, conclusions, and recommendations. Include up to five relevant keywords immediately following the abstract (italicized).

Page Setup:
- Margins: Top and Bottom = 1”; Left and Right = 1.25”
- Gutter = 0; Gutter Position = Left
- Orientation = Portrait; Paper Size = A4
- Alignment = Justified; Left and Right Indentation = 0
- Spacing Before and After = 0
- Line Spacing = Single
- Second-Level Heading (e.g., 1.1): Indent the second-level heading 1.27 cm from the left margin. The heading should be bold, aligned with the paragraph indentation level that begins at 1.27 cm, and positioned on its own line for clear structural hierarchy.
- Third-Level Heading (e.g., 1.1.1): Indent the third-level heading 2.54 cm from the left margin. This places it one additional tab stop (1.27 cm) to the right of the second-level heading. The heading should also be bold and placed on a separate line.
- Indent each new paragraph by 1.27 cm for clear and consistent formatting.
