Citation Style and Bibliography. Asia-Pacific Journal of Election and Democracy (APJED) refers to the Chicago Manual of Style, 17th Edition (2017) for its citation style. The Chicago Manual of Style, 17th Edition (2017) can be accessed through the following website link.All articles must include a bibliography. With regards to the citation of legal documents, since the Chicago Manual of Style does not regulate the citation style for legal documents of a specific country and legal system, any citation of non-Indonesian legal documents—both of national laws as well as international laws—may refer to other internationally accepted citation style manual such as The Bluebook, OSCOLA, or New Hart’s Rules. Author(s) are also given the discretion to develop their own legal citation style apart from those accepted internationally. This is particularly the case regarding the citation of Indonesian legal documents. Once the author(s) have decided to subscribe to a particular citation style, all citation and references to any legal documents throughout the article draft should consistently refer to that particular citation style. While a large degree of discretion is given to the author(s) in developing their own legal citation style, APJED does not accept any citation in the form of body-note and/or end-note.
Declaration of Conflict of Interest and Academic Research Ethics. Authors must comply with the research and manuscript ethical procedure. Authors will be asked to declare any potential conflicts of interest. Please also state the funding source of the research. Plagiarism is not tolerated.
