The Lexfolio Journal of Law, Policy and Social Sciences (LJLPS) welcomes submissions from Ghanaian academicians, LLM and PhD scholars, and legal practitioners. Here’s what Ghanaian authors specifically should know before submitting.
Scope relevant to Ghanaian scholarship
LJLPS covers law, public policy and allied social sciences broadly — constitutional and administrative law, human rights, natural-resource and extractive-industry law (a significant area of Ghanaian legal scholarship given the country’s mining and oil sectors), and West African comparative legal and policy work are all within scope.
Why publish internationally
National Accreditation Board Ghana and university-level academic promotion criteria generally reward publication in peer-reviewed, properly indexed journals — LJLPS is built to meet these standards, and an internationally accessible journal broadens a Ghanaian scholar’s visibility beyond West African regional journals.
Submission process and fees
Submit via the online form with your manuscript as a Word file. Standard review is free; a paid fast-track review option exists for a faster decision. Article processing charges apply only after acceptance, and international authors can pay online by card.
Formatting requirements
Law papers follow Bluebook or OSCOLA (your choice); other social sciences papers follow APA. Full details on the author guidelines page.
