If there is more than one author of the article, the data of all co-authors are provided accordingly. When submitting an article to an email, the author's data forms a separate file, when uploading it to the platform http://www.zurnalai.vu.lt/teise/, the authors provide their data in the dedicated fields on the platform itself. The article itself must not contain any personally identifiable information about the author, including metadata Word doc. files.

Structure of the article:

The title of the article should be short, informative and reveal the essence of the presented research. Abbreviations must be avoided in the title.

Annotation is a short summary of the main ideas of the article, which indicates the purpose and object of the research, the results and conclusions of the research. The length of the annotation is up to 150-200 words. In the annotation, it is not allowed to cite literature or sources, to make references.

Key words - 4-7 key words (expressions) are indicated. Keywords are separated by commas, it is necessary to avoid repeating the title of the article. When uploading to the platform http://www.zurnalai.vu.lt/teise/, it is necessary to put (copy) the keywords one by one and separate them with a comma (otherwise the system misunderstands that one keyword term consisting of several words separated by commas has been uploaded).

The title, annotation and key words of the article (in the order set out here) are presented in Lithuanian and English, as well as in the language in which the scientific article is published.

The main text of the scientific article, which must include  clearly distinguished elements of this part of the scientific article:

Introduction, which defines the aim of the research, tasks, object, methods, relevance of the topic (problem) and degree of research, originality of the work, as well as an overview of the sources and literature used;

Main part - presentation and substantiation of research results; the text must be clear, logically divided into separate chapters, which must be numbered (chapters are numbered with one Arabic numeral and subsections with two digits) and have titles that reflect their content.

Citation and references to the sources in the text are based on the Harvard style (author-date) system (Harvard style, author-date). In parantheses, the source should be indicated: (i) the name of the author (without name and (or) its initials), (ii) the year of publication, ( (iii) the page or pages (where available and (or) necessary).
For example: (Machovenko, 2019, p. 22) or (Machovenko, Valančienė, 2018, p. 35).

If the source has more than two authors, only the surname of the first author is given, followed by et al.
For example:  (Švedas et al., 2019, p. 96)

If two or more authors are cited, which are common names, the author's surname in the reference is supplemented by the initials of the name.
For example: Some authors argue that social guarantees for workers were violated during the economic crisis (Petrylaitė, D. 2015, p. 121; Petrylaitė, V. 2014, p. 147).

If the same author is cited and his/her works and sources are published in the same year, then in addition to the year of publication (respectively in the List of Sources), the lower case letters ‘a’, ‘b’, etc. shall be indicated.
For example: (Davulis, 2004a, p. 15; Davulis, 2004b, p. 221)

When quoting secondary sources, the surname, year and source of the author from which the author's surname is published and the year and page of the publication shall be indicated.
For example: (Baran, 1998 quoted Petrylaitė, 2005, p. 46)

When quoting non-author publications, legal acts, court decisions, etc., the title of the document shall be indicated, if it does not exceed 5 words, or the first 4–5 words forming the title of the document shall be indicated and a colon shall be added.  
For example: according to a sociological survey (Institute of Labor and Social Research, 2006), 4 percent of Lithuanian companies had functioning works councils. Most Austrian legal scholars argue that a legal strike could only be organized by a trade union (Unofficial strike in Austria ..., 2009). On the other hand, the case law states that strike claims must be handed over to the employer before the strike (ruling of the Supreme Court of Lithuania of 15 December 2015 in a civil case). In Lithuania, the right to strike is a constitutional right of employees (Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania, 1992). According to the law, a strike can be organized by a trade union operating at the company level (Law on Trade Unions of the Republic of Lithuania, 1991).

Footnotes are made at the bottom of the page in order to explain or substantiate a particular statement or fact mentioned in the text, using Arabic numerals and footnotes. The numbering of all footnotes must be continuous.

For example:
¹ In order to maintain objectivity, it should be noted that in the present case the reference was made not by the constitutional review body but by the German Federal Administrative Court (Bundesverwaltungsgerich).
² Also assessing the ex nunc effect of the final acts of the Constitutional Court.

Conclusions must be numbered, they must not contain citations and references to the literature or sources used.

A list of sources shall include all sources cited in the scientific article. The sources in the list are grouped by type: (i) legal acts, which are listed according to legal force starting from the highest legal force, and acts having equal legal force, starting from the oldest; it is recommended to separate international, regional, national and (or) foreign legal acts into separate subsections; (ii) special literature - in alphabetical order according to the surname of the first author (in case of several authors - taking into account the surname of the second, third, etc. author); if several different sources by the same author are cited, they shall be listed chronologically, starting with the oldest; if the author is not indicated - by the title of the work; (iii) case law - starting with court decisions by level of court, starting with the highest court, it is recommended to divide the decisions of international, regional, national and (or) foreign courts into separate subsections; (iv) other sources (such as newsletters, web portals, travaux préparatoires, etc.)  

Sources, subsections and chapters are not numbered.

Sources are written in the original language. The Cyrillic alphabet is transliterated into the Latin alphabet. Other non-Latin writing systems are transliterated into Latin accordingly. For transliteration, use the order No. of 17 November, 2011 of the Director of the Center of Registers V-217 “On the Approval of the Classification of the Register of Legal Entities” approved the classification of transliteration of the main foreign language characters into the main Latin characters (see: https://www.registrucentras.lt/p/175).

The transliterated data replaces the ones used in the original source.
For example: Zhalinskiy, A. (2004), Sovremennoe nemetskoe ugolovnoe pravo, Prospekt, Moskva.

The Harvard style (author-date) must be followed when compiling the list of sources, cf. See Annex to this document.

Additional information about the author(s) (in Lithuanian and English) - the author's name, surname, short scientific biography, scientific interests and research areas (up to 500-600 characters with spaces).
