Here are some things to consider:

Abstract
All article submissions should also include an Abstract. Abstract Explaining the aims and object of the paper.  It begins with a brief discussion about the background of the topic and the significance of the research. Methodology of the research should also be stated very briefly in the abstract. It ends with the research statement taken by the author and elaborates suggestions.

Introduction
The introduction should be clear and provide the issue to be discussed in the manuscript. Before the objective, authors should provide an adequate background, and very short literature survey in order to record the existing solutions, to show which is the best of previous researches, to show the main limitation of the previous researches, to show what do you hope to achieve (to solve the limitation), and to show the scientific merit or novelties of the paper.

Literature Review
In this section, we provide a comprehensive literature review that aims to establish the existing knowledge and research related to the topic of our study. By conducting a thorough literature review, we establish a foundation for our research and demonstrate the significance and originality of our study. It helps to situate our work within the existing body of knowledge and provides a rationale for our research objectives and methodology.

Methodology
The method used is not limited to normative juridical methods. Methods other than normative juridical methods should mention time and place of the research (if applicable) and the focus of the research in the first part. The following steps were undertaken to carry out the research: Research Design, Data Collection, Data Analysis. It is important to note that the methodology should be tailored to the specific research objectives and research question. The chosen methodology should align with the nature of the research and provide reliable and valid results.

Result and Discussion
Result and discussion be written in the same part. They should be presented continuously starting from the main result until supporting results and equipped with a discussion. Figures and Tables (if any) should be put in the same part of this section and should be actively edited by the editors.

Conclusion
Conclusion should be explained clearly and concisely. Suggestion placed after conclusion contains a recommendation on the research and gives possibility for future research.
