For Authors
How we evaluate manuscripts to maintain academic rigor
Jus Scriptum Law Journal follows a double-blind peer-review system for all manuscripts to safeguard academic integrity, impartiality, and quality. The identities of both authors and reviewers remain confidential throughout the evaluation process.
Anonymised Submission
Authors must remove all identifying information before submission. Reviewers receive anonymised manuscripts and assess only the quality, originality, methodology, legal analysis, and scholarly contribution of the work.
Preliminary Editorial Screening
Every manuscript is screened for relevance to the Journal’s scope, compliance with submission guidelines, originality, and adherence to ethical standards.
Independent Expert Review
Manuscripts that pass screening are sent to at least two independent subject-matter experts. Reviewers assess research significance, legal reasoning, clarity, citation accuracy, methodological soundness, coherence, and contribution to legal scholarship.
Editorial Decision
The Editorial Board considers the reviewers’ recommendations and communicates its decision to the author.
Authors must address each reviewer comment comprehensively and submit a revised manuscript within the stipulated timeframe. A revised manuscript may be returned to the original reviewers when further evaluation is necessary.
Reviewers must act professionally, confidentially, objectively, and ethically. They must disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest, decline assignments where impartiality may be compromised, and must not share, discuss, or use review materials for personal or professional advantage.
The Editorial Board retains final authority over publication decisions. Reviewer recommendations are given significant weight, but the final decision rests on scholarly merit, originality, ethical compliance, and suitability for publication in Jus Scriptum Law Journal.
Through its rigorous double-blind peer-review process, Jus Scriptum Law Journal promotes fairness, academic excellence, transparency, and reliable legal research that contributes meaningfully to legal education, policy, and practice.
