STRUCTURE OF CITATIONS

Masaryk University Journal of Law and Technology uses adapted version of Harvard standard.

This citation style is hybrid of

1. Harvard technique or rather content of information in citation and
2. way of placement used by most of Czech universities.

Unlike the Harvard standard, which is based on the in-text style of citations, MUJLT uses system of footnotes, where all the citations are marked in their full form.

In-text citations à la Harvard are in our journal undesirable.

Examples:

1. Book, one author: Dahl, R. (2004) Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. 6th ed. New York: Knopf.
2. Book, multiple authors: Daniels, K., Patterson, G. and Dunston, Y. (2014) The Ultimate Student Teaching Guide. 2nd ed. Los Angeles: SAGE Publications, pp. 145-151
3. Article: Battilana, J. and Casciaro, T. (2013) The Network Secrets of Great Change Agents. Harvard Business Review, 91 (7), pp. 62-68.
4. Case: Evans v. Governor of H. M. Prison Brockhill (1985) [unreported] Court of Appeall (Civil Division), 19 June.

The most common types of works, which can be used and quoted in your article including essentials needed in the citations and finally example of this citation are arranged in MUJLT CITATION GUIDE.

In case of works not included in the guide do not hesitate to contact editor of your article (see e.g. Editorial team), who is fully available to you and will readily help you with the right form of the final citation.

FORMATTING RECOMMENDATIONS

Use of any special forms of formatting, pictures, graphs, etc. should be consulted.

Only automatic footnotes should be used for notes, citations, etc.

Blank lines should be used only to divide chapters (not paragraphs).

First words of paragraphs should not be indented. Chapters should be numbered in ordinary way – example: “5.2. Partial Conclusions ”.
