If the editorial board finds that a submitted manuscript does not comply with the above guidelines, the manuscript will be returned to the author for revision. The author must revise the manuscript to fully comply with the guidelines before it can proceed to the review process.

Manuscript Review Process

Manuscripts that comply with the submission guidelines will be considered for peer review. Each manuscript will be evaluated by at least two qualified experts from various institutions who possess expertise in the relevant field. The journal employs a Double-Blind Peer Review process, in which the identities of both the authors and the reviewers are concealed from one another.

In cases where the reviewers determine that a manuscript is suitable for publication subject to revisions, the author(s) must revise the manuscript in accordance with the reviewers’ recommendations. The revised submission must clearly indicate the specific amendments made. If the author(s) wish to retain any part of the original text contrary to the reviewers’ suggestions, a written justification must be provided to the editorial board for further consideration.

The review process typically takes approximately three months. The Graduate Law Journal does not have a policy to provide expedited or fast-track review under any circumstances.
