Please take note of the following <strong>style guide</strong> of the journal that I'm submitting (Australian Journal of Asian Law). Thank you very much.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>Style Guide</strong></em></div><br />-----<br />Text<br />2.a.i. General<br />Use the social-science citation style. If notes are needed use footnotes, not endnotes.<br />In the notes, the style is ‘see Lev, 1999: 227’ ie no brackets.<br />In the text, it will be (Lev, 1999: 227) at the end of the relevant sentence or paragraph.<br />Avoid Latin phrases such as ‘op cit’ and ‘ibid’. Where there is a string of references in the text or a note, ensure the order is chronological, not alphabetical.<br />2.a.ii. Headings<br />ALJ does not number sub-headings. Use no more than three levels of sub-headings.<br />Level 1: Rule by Law: The Functions of Courts (Arial 16, bold, capitalised)<br />Level 2: Constitutional Courts to Protect Minorities (Arial 14, bold, capitalised)<br />Level 3: Commitment to reform (Arial 12, bold) not capitalised, except for proper nouns, eg names etc)<br />2.b. Reference List<br />At the end of the paper, append an alphabetical list of references cited in the text. The list must contain every item cited in your paper and it must be completely accurate. Note that news articles and academic (and other) references are placed in the one list (although legislation is listed separately.) Please provide full details and expand all abbreviations —do not assume that a reference will be familiar to your editors or readers, even if it is a standard reference within your discipline.<br />If a reference title is in a language other than English, you should include the title in the original language. [You can include the English translation in square brackets after the title, but this is not obligatory.]<br />1<br />Revised 17 November 2014<br />2.b.i. Books<br />Author’s surname, Name or Initials (Date) Title of Book. Volume number (if relevant); Edition (if relevant). Place of publication: Publisher.<br />For example:<br />Purcell, V (1948) The Chinese in Malaya. London: Oxford University Press.<br />Edited works should be cited as:<br />Lindsey, Timothy (ed) (1999) Indonesia: Law and Society. Sydney: Federation Press.<br />Where the work cited is a chapter from an edited volume, the work should be cited as:<br />Lev, Daniel (1999) ‘Between State and Society: Professional Lawyers and Reform in Indonesia’, in Timothy Lindsey (ed), Indonesia: Law and Society. Sydney: Federation Press.<br />If there are several works by the same author, list them chronologically in the references, ending with the most recent. If two or more works have been published in the same year, list them alphabetically by title, with lower-case letters of the alphabet attached to the publication date, for example:<br />Brown, FG (1985a) [Title etc]<br />Brown, FG (1985b) [Title, etc].<br />Where there are two authors or editors of a book, both names should be inverted, for example:<br />Butt, Simon and Lindsey, Tim (2012) [Title, etc]<br />2.b.ii. Papers and articles<br />Author’s surname, Name or Initials (Year of publication) ‘Title of article’, Volume number (and issue number in brackets if appropriate) Journal Title Number of first page of article. For example,<br />Butt, Simon and Parsons, Nick (2014) ‘Judicial Review and the Supreme Court in Indonesia: A New Space for Law?’, 97 Indonesia 55.<br />Sinha, Nirmal C (1994) ‘Asoka’s Dhamma’, 30(2) Bulletin of Tibetology 5.<br />2.b.iii. Newspapers<br />In the references: Author’s surname (if known), Name or Initials (Year of publication) ‘Title of article’, Newspaper, Day and Month, Page number. For example:<br />Fung, N and McCarthy, G (1999) ‘Departure of Bankruptcy Expert is Blow to Confidence in Indonesia’, Asian Wall Street Journal, 26 March: 3.<br />If the author is not known, then the newspaper title is listed first, for example:<br />The Asian Newspaper (2003) ‘Courtroom Invaded by Ninjas’, 20 March <<a href="http://www.asiannewspaper.com">www.asiannewspaper.com</a>>.<br />2.b.iv. News on the Internet<br />Give the full newspaper or news magazine details as above, but in addition give the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the homepage of the source, rather than the pinpoint location. For example,<br />Holland, Tom (2001) ‘Investing in China: Between Hype and a Hard Place’, Far Eastern Economic Review, 28 June <<a href="http://www.feer.com">www.feer.com</a>>.<br />In this example, the precise URL is <<a href="http://www.feer.com/_0106_28/p038money.html">http://www.feer.com/_0106_28/p038money.html</a>>. However as this item may be archived to a different location by the time your paper is published, it is more sensible to give the URL at its most general level and leave readers to navigate from there.<br />3. Capitalisation<br />In general, do not capitalise unless the word is a specific proper name. For example:<br />use: the Indonesian Government; the Federal Government<br />but: the government(s) (where referring to that government and to governments generally).<br />use: the Supreme Court<br />but: the court(s) (where referring to that court and to courts generally)<br />This rule also applies to: commission, inquiry, parliament, tribunal, report, committee, federal, department, the bench, the bar, chambers, articles, a brief, counsel, case law, family law, powers of attorney, etc.<br />3.a. Titles of office<br />These are capitalised when referring to the specific holder of the office, for example, ‘National Assembly President Chea Sim’, ‘deposed Co-Premier Prince Norodom’. But the title is lower case when not referring to a particular individual, for example, ‘comprising the chair and vice-chair’. Exceptions:<br />use: ‘the Crown’<br />use: ‘Act’ (where referring to legislation)<br />but: ‘act’ (where referring to something someone does)<br />use: ‘Rule’ and ‘Regulation’ (if attached to an Act)<br />but: ‘rule’ and ‘regulation’ (when general reference)<br />use: ‘Commonwealth’, ‘State’ and ‘Territory’ for Australia and other federal systems<br />use: ‘Bill’ (where referring to legislation)<br />2<br />Revised 17 November 2014<br />4. Italics<br />4.a. Foreign words<br />o The following should be italicised: foreign words, where not set roman in the Macquarie dictionary, for example, nouveau state.<br />o Note, however that foreign words that are proper nouns should not be italicised, for example Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission) NOT Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi.<br />o Latin and foreign words (such as ‘prima facie’, ‘inter alia’ or ‘et al’) that are commonly used in English are not to be italicised.<br />4.b. Italics for emphasis<br />Italics and underlining for emphasis should be not be used in the text. More flexibility is appropriate for quotes.<br />5. Abbreviations and Acronyms<br />5.a. Acronyms<br />o Use acronyms (no punctuation and closed up), unless the organisation is the subject. For example: ‘The United Nations sent out . . .’ but ‘A UN delegate attended . . .’<br />o If an acronym is in a foreign language, use the order – Acronym (Foreign Title, English), for example: FPI (Front Pembela Islam, Islamic Defenders Front)<br />5.b. Abbreviations<br />Do not use full stops after abbreviations and contractions (including initials, for example,<br />DE Fisher – also note also there is no space between the initials).<br />Other common abbreviations include:<br />art/arts (use abbreviation for articles in legislation, lower case, that is, not article, Article or Art)<br />Pty<br />Mrs Ms Dr<br />Inc Mr Co<br />Ltd<br />Note: in discursive text:<br />use for example not eg<br />use that is not ie<br />use and so on not etc<br />use per cent not % (only use ‘%’ in tables)<br />6. Numbers and Dates<br />6.a. Numbers<br />Numbers from one to nine are written out in words, except where the reference is to a section, page number, time, measure, weight or percentage, in which case figures are used.<br />Numbers above nine are written as figures, except where the number is the first word in a sentence.<br />Round numbers above 1 million are written thus: ‘3 million’, ‘56 million’ not ‘3m’, ‘56m’ (which means ‘three metres’, etc). In numbers greater than 10,000, use commas to separate groups of digits, for example, 10,000. In numbers less than 10,000, omit the comma, for example, 9999, 4000.<br />When a range of numbers delineating a sequence of pages (or paragraphs) is used, the numbers should be elided to the last two digits (12-15; 113-16; 240-45, 400-99; 325-280, unless, of course, the two numbers cross the boundary between two or more units of 100 (96-1177; 195-305; 401-500).<br />6.b.

Legislation<br />The first citation of a particular piece of legislation in the article should include the full details. Subsequent references to legislation can then be abbreviated.<br />In the footnotes, the article should be listed before the legislation, for example: ‘See art 282(1) of the Criminal Code’.<br />Court cases and legislation should also be listed separately from the ‘References’ section at the end of the article.<br />3<br />Revised 17 November 2014<br />Legislation is divided under the following headings:<br />- Legislation (this can have sub-headings into countries where appropriate), and should include Laws, Regulations, Government Decrees etc.<br />- International Instruments<br />- Court Cases<br />Government Reports or general UN documents should be listed in the ‘References’ section.<br />7.a. Citation of Legal Materials<br />Australia, United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, the United States, international treaties, UN and ICJ materials.<br />Legislation, cases and other legal materials from these jurisdictions are to be cited using the forms recommended in the Australian Guide to Legal Citation (1998). Melbourne: Melbourne University Law Review. Also available at <<a href="http://mulr.law.unimelb.edu.au/go/AGLC3">http://mulr.law.unimelb.edu.au/go/AGLC3</a>>.<br />Other jurisdictions.<br />Authors are requested to use the form of citation that is most authoritative within the jurisdiction that is the subject of the article. If there is no authorised citation style, then use a style that is clear and consistent and most likely to be understood by people who commonly use such materials.<br />See AGLC pages<br />China – 206-13<br />Hong Kong – 220-21<br />Malaysia 222-24<br />Singapore 229-32<br />OTHER 277-83<br />Some examples:<br />Japan: Civil Rehabilitation Law (Law No 225, 1999)<br />PRC: Foreign Trade Law 1994<br />Vietnam: Communist Party Statute 1996<br />Indonesia: Law No 4 of 1982 on the Management of the Living Environment<br />Malaysia: Internal Security Act 1960<br />Do NOT italicise laws, conventions or treaties.<br />DO italicise cases.<br />8.

Language<br />9.a. Gender-neutral<br />Gender-neutral language should be used, for example: use: ‘person’ rather than ‘man’ where appropriate<br />To avoid excessive repetition of ‘he or she’:<br />use: active rather than passive verbs<br />use: (where possible) plural pronouns rather ‘his or her’, for example, ‘children receive their . . .’ rather than ‘a child receives his or her . . .’<br />9.b. plain English<br />Avoid repeating terms such as ‘submitted’, ‘it is submitted’, ‘respectfully’ and ‘the learned judge’. These are common in court lexicon, but should be used sparingly in AJAL articles. 4<br />Revised 17 November 2014<br />10. Quotations<br />The style of quotations should remain as in the original source. If the quote begins mid-sentence, capitalise the first letter and place in square brackets, for example, ‘[T]he matter . . .’, and do not use ‘. . .’ at the start of the quote. Material quoted that is more than three lines in length should be in a separate paragraph, indented throughout (one tab space) from the main text, and not enclosed in quotation marks. In the text a phrase should introduce the quote leading in with a colon. Quotes of less than three lines should run on into the text, and should be enclosed in single quotation marks (for example, ‘quote’).<br />Quotes within quotes are enclosed in double quotation marks (for example, ‘a “quote” within a quote’). Any author’s or editor’s comments or any material not a part of the original material are to be in square brackets, but not italicised for example:<br />Legal requirements for marriage with a t’sai [principal wife] or a t’sip [secondary wife] are the same.<br />Emphasis not a part of the original quote is to be indicated thus:<br />The main reasons for Cohen’s opposition to broadening the definition . . . the institutional practice of psychiatry (Shea, 1999:140; added emphasis).<br />Where the emphasis is in the original, add ‘original emphasis’ to the reference following the quotation.<br />10.a. Omitted words<br />Omitted words (other than at the start of a quote – see above) are indicated by an ellipsis (three dots).<br />11. Punctuation<br />Note that there is only ONE space (NOT two spaces) after a full-stop.<br />-----<br />Thank you.<br /><br /><br />
