I. Introduction
Indonesian Journal of Socio-Legal Studies is an initiative of the Bidang Studi Hukum, Masyarakat, dan Pembangunan (Department of Law, Society and Development), Faculty of Law Universitas Indonesia. Its ambition is to become an important reference point for law and society studies on Indonesia. Starting in the year 2008, the department published the bilingual Digest on Law, Society and Development, as a product of the program Alliance Building on Socio-Legal Studies, a cooperation between Leiden Law School and the Law Faculty funded by the Ford Foundation. Since 2008, a total of 11 editions of the Digest have been published. During that time, the form of a digest was chosen so that academic research could be presented in the form of popular science. We believe that the time has come to promote the Digest of Law, Society and Development to become the academic journal of “Indonesian Journal of Socio-Legal Studies”. The scope of The Indonesian Journal of Socio-Legal Studies (IJSLS) comprises the fields of Law and Society or Socio-Legal Studies – that focus on interdisciplinary studies of law. The journal publishes articles that are the results of empirical and interdisciplinary research on legal issues in Indonesia. Submitted papers are subjected to a double-blind peer-review process by international and/or national experts. IJSLS is published twice a year (in March and September) by the Department of Law, Society and Development Universitas Indonesia in collaboration with the Association of Indonesian Socio-Legal Lecturers.
II. Objectives of IJSLS
The objectives of IJSLS are: first, to become a main center of knowledge production for Law and Society Studies in Asia; second, to promote interdisciplinary legal studies; and third, to become an international platform for research cooperation and exchange of ideas between international legal scholars on the interdisciplinary study of law and society. The IJSLS focuses on the following disciplines: Legal Anthropology; Sociology of Law; Law and Politics; Law and Economics; Law and Psychology; Gender and Law; Health, Law and Society; and Law, Social Change, and Technology.

Reference Manager Software
Reference Management Software (RMS), is software that helps researchers (or anyone) in managing their reference documents (books, articles, book chapters, etc.). Manage in the sense of: helping search, find, store metadata (title, author, year of publication, publisher...), and find it again if necessary. This also includes managing digital documents from these references.
RMS also helps in communicating with other authors/researchers. In addition, another very useful technical function is that it helps in compiling quotations and bibliography in various styles.
Referencing software commonly used is Mendeley[LINK]
