Peer Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to Jurist Academia undergo a double-blind peer review process. Each manuscript is evaluated by at least two independent reviewers with expertise in the relevant legal field. The identities of both authors and reviewers are kept confidential throughout the review process.

Review Stages:

  1. Initial Screening:
    The Editor assesses whether the manuscript fits the journal’s scope, adheres to submission guidelines, and meets basic academic writing standards.
  2. Peer Review:
    Manuscripts passing the initial check are forwarded to reviewers. Reviewers assess originality, research objectives, legal argumentation, research methods, relevance of references, and academic contribution.
  3. Review Recommendations:
    Reviewers provide one of the following recommendations: accept without revision, accept with minor revision, accept with major revision, or reject.
  4. Revision:
    Authors are given up to 14 days to revise their manuscript based on reviewer comments.
  5. Final Decision:
    The Editor makes the final publication decision based on the reviews and revisions.

The entire review process is targeted to be completed within 8 weeks from the start of the review stage.
