    Scope

    We welcome comparative law, international law, and legal-policy scholarship, including comparative work engaging with South Asian legal systems.

    Why publish with LJLPS

    The Lexfolio Journal of Law, Policy and Social Sciences (LJLPS) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal. Issue 1 is free to submit to, and the article processing charge (APC) applies only after a paper is accepted — you are never asked to pay to be considered. Standard peer review is free; a paid fast-track review option is available if you need a quicker decision. Papers are reviewed on their merits by subject-matter reviewers, not accepted automatically.

    What we are looking for

    LJLPS welcomes comparative, doctrinal, empirical and policy-oriented scholarship in law and the social sciences, including work engaging with South Asian legal systems from a comparative perspective, as well as papers on general jurisprudence, constitutional law, human rights, technology law, and public policy that would interest an international readership.

    Formatting and citation

    Law papers should follow Bluebook or OSCOLA citation (contributor’s choice, kept consistent throughout the paper); papers in other social sciences should follow APA style. Manuscripts should be original, unpublished, and not under review elsewhere.

    How to submit

    Note: international card payments for the article processing charge may not process for all Russian-issued cards due to current international payment restrictions; authors in this situation should contact the editorial team via the submission page to discuss alternative payment arrangements before or after acceptance.

    Read the full call for papers, review the author guidelines, and check the article processing charges (payable only after acceptance; international card payments are supported). Submit your manuscript via the submission page.

  • LJLPS Call for Papers: International Submissions Welcome

    The Lexfolio Journal of Law, Policy and Social Sciences (LJLPS) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal welcoming submissions from academicians, postgraduate students, and legal practitioners worldwide — not limited to any single country or region.

    Who should submit

    LLM and PhD scholars, law and social-science faculty, and practitioners writing on comparative or jurisdiction-specific legal and policy topics. Comparative scholarship examining multiple jurisdictions is especially welcome, as is single-jurisdiction work of genuine analytical depth.

    Scope

    Law broadly defined — constitutional, administrative, criminal, human rights, environmental, commercial and corporate law — along with public policy and allied social sciences (political science, sociology of law, public administration, development studies where they intersect with legal or policy questions).

    What makes LJLPS a credible venue for international authors

    • Genuine peer review by the editorial board and invited subject-matter reviewers — not a pay-to-publish pass-through.
    • DOI assignment and Google Scholar indexing for published articles, supporting citation tracking and academic promotion requirements across jurisdictions.
    • Article processing charges are collected only after acceptance, never upfront as a condition of review — standard review itself remains free.
    • International authors can now pay article processing charges online by card, with the payment gateway supporting international transactions.
    • A clear, published peer-review and publication-ethics policy, including a plagiarism/similarity-check process at submission.
