Weak Issue Framing
Issue: The legal problem is too broad, descriptive, or disconnected from a researchable gap.
Example: “AI and law is important” without a defined doctrine, jurisdiction, or unresolved question.

Project Title: Algorithmic Decision-Making and Procedural Fairness in Administrative Law
2. Research Problem
Automated decision systems increasingly influence public administration, yet the legal safeguards are unclear relationship between automated decision-making and established procedural fairness duties requires clearer doctrinal analysis.
3. Research Questions
How do existing administrative-law principles apply to automated decisions, and where do explainability, reasons, reviewability, and human oversight affect procedural fairness?
4. Methodology
The study uses a comparative doctrinal method combining legislation, leading judicial authorities, regulatory materials, and selected comparative sources within the defined jurisdictions.
5. Contribution
The project will clarify how established public-law principles can be presented against emerging automated decision practices without overstating the current state of doctrine.
6. Structure
Introduction → doctrinal framework → comparative analysis → procedural safeguards → implications and conclusion.

Why Legal Academic Content Gets Delayed or Rejected Before Review
2
Unclear Research Questions
Issue: Objectives and questions do not align with the proposed analysis.
Example: Broad policy aims paired with a narrowly doctrinal method.
3
Loose Methodology
Issue: The legal research method is named but not explained or justified.
Example: “Doctrinal research will be used” without source selection or analytical approach.
4
Inconsistent Terminology
Issue: Key legal concepts are described differently across sections.
Example: “Automated decision,” “algorithmic decision,” and “AI decision” used without distinction.
5
Unsupported Legal Claims
Issue: Statements appear stronger than the cited authorities or evidence support.
Example: Presenting a contested interpretation as settled law.
6
Source Ambiguity
Issue: Binding, persuasive, secondary, and comparative sources are not clearly distinguished.
Example: Treating commentary and judicial authority as equivalent support.
7
Poor Guideline Alignment
Issue: University, journal, funder, or style instructions are not followed.
Example: Missing required sections, citation format, word limits, or methodology detail.
