The Lexfolio Journal of Law, Policy and Social Sciences (LJLPS) welcomes submissions from Filipino academicians, LLM and PhD scholars, and legal practitioners. Here’s what Philippine-based authors specifically should know before submitting.
Scope relevant to Philippine scholarship
LJLPS covers law, public policy and allied social sciences broadly — constitutional and administrative law, human rights, environmental and disaster-resilience law and policy, labour migration law (an area of particular Philippine policy relevance given overseas worker protections), and Southeast Asian comparative legal scholarship are all within scope.
Why publish internationally
CHED (Commission on Higher Education) Philippines and university-level academic promotion criteria generally reward publication in peer-reviewed journals with proper indexing (DOI, Google Scholar) — LJLPS is built to meet these standards, and publishing in a journal with international and South/Southeast Asian regional readership broadens visibility beyond domestic journals alone.
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.
