Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts to Journal of Legal Contemplation (JLC). All submissions will be assessed by an editorial team to determine whether they align with the aims and scope of the journal. Submissions that meet the criteria will undergo a double-blind peer-review process before a final decision is made regarding acceptance or rejection.

Editorial and Peer-Review Process

✅Manuscripts that do not meet minimum standards of quality, originality, or relevance may be rejected at the editorial screening stage.
✅ Articles that pass the initial screening will be sent for double-blind peer review, where both authors and reviewers remain anonymous.
✅ Authors should ensure that their study design and research argument are clearly structured and well-articulated.
✅ The title should be concise, and the abstract must be able to stand on its own, providing a clear summary of the research.

Before submitting, authors are responsible for:

✅ Obtaining permission to publish any third-party material (e.g., images, datasets, or documents).
✅ Ensuring all listed authors have consented to be identified as contributors.
✅ Securing ethical approval from the appropriate ethics committee if the research involves human or animal subjects, in compliance with national and international guidelines.
