Peer Review Process

Manuscripts submitted to De iurisprudentia et iure publico are first subject to a preliminary editorial assessment in order to determine whether they comply with the journal’s basic requirements, author guidelines and academic profile.

Manuscripts that meet the formal and substantive standards of the journal proceed to peer review. The journal applies a double-blind peer review process, in which each manuscript is evaluated by at least two experts in the relevant field. Reviewers are selected on the basis of their academic expertise, research profile and previous reviewing experience.

Reviewers assess manuscripts according to standardised evaluation criteria, with particular regard to originality, academic rigour, clarity of argument, engagement with the relevant literature, and the contribution of the manuscript to legal scholarship, jurisprudence, public law or related fields of research.

The final decision on acceptance, revision or rejection is made by the Editorial Board, taking into account the reviewers’ comments and recommendations.

The peer review process may result in one of the following decisions:

  • accepted without revision
  • accepted with minor revisions
  • accepted with major revisions
  • rejected
