Initial Rejection Notice

2026-05-31

Dear Authors,

Thank you for your interest in publishing in Humani (Hukum dan Masyarakat Madani).

It is important to note that a rejection decision at the initial screening (desk review) stage is generally issued when a submitted manuscript does not fully comply with the journal’s writing guidelines and submission requirements. Compliance with these requirements is essential to ensure consistency, academic quality, and an efficient editorial and review process.

Some aspects that commonly require attention include, but are not limited to:

  • The use of the official journal template.

  • The preparation and formatting of citations in accordance with the journal’s guidelines.

  • The arrangement of footnotes following the prescribed style.

  • The preparation of references and bibliography according to the required citation format.

  • Compliance with the journal’s structural and technical writing standards.

A desk-review rejection should not be interpreted as a final rejection of the research or the academic contribution presented in the manuscript. Rather, it indicates that the submission requires further adjustments to meet the journal’s technical and administrative requirements before it can proceed to the next stage of the editorial process.

Authors are encouraged to carefully review the journal’s author guidelines, make the necessary revisions, and ensure that all submission requirements have been fulfilled prior to resubmission. Manuscripts that have been revised to comply with the journal’s standards may be resubmitted for further editorial consideration.
