Guide for Authors

Manuscript Structure
Corpus Intellectual encourages authors to adopt the IMRaD format (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion) for empirical and data-driven research, particularly in the natural sciences, medical sciences, management, and social sciences. However, authors working in the humanities, law, and other theoretical or interpretive fields may use alternative organizational formats suited to their discipline, such as thematic or argumentative structures, provided that the manuscript maintains clarity, logical progression, and scholarly rigor throughout.
