Guidelines for Contributors to Research Notes

The Research Notes section provides a means for educational researchers to communicate with one another about their research-in-progress. Because SAMAWA: Jurnal Hukum Keluarga Islam dan Perundang-Undangan is so widely indexed nationally and internationally, it is effective in supporting such exchanges.

This current work should be situated, briefly, in the context of other pertinent scholarship, including the author's or authors' related research. The focus of the Note could be either a specific study or an overview of an ongoing line of inquiry where fuller reporting of results will not occur in print for some time.

The maximum length for a Research Note is 1,000 words, excluding references and one or two tables or graphs. To encourage communication between researchers, authors of Research Notes are asked to provide contact information including a one-line biography, full mailing address, E-mail, fax, and/or telephone numbers for publication with each Note. This biography and contact information should be included in the document file submitted and Not abstract is required.
