The Lexfolio Journal of Law, Policy and Social Sciences (LJLPS) welcomes submissions from Sri Lankan academicians, LLM and PhD scholars, and legal practitioners. Here’s what Sri Lankan authors specifically should know before submitting.
Scope relevant to Sri Lankan scholarship
LJLPS covers law, public policy and allied social sciences broadly — constitutional law, post-conflict governance and reconciliation policy, human rights, environmental law, and South Asian comparative legal scholarship (an area where Sri Lanka’s mixed Roman-Dutch and English common law tradition offers a distinctive comparative perspective) are all within scope.
Why publish internationally
University Grants Commission Sri Lanka 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 a South Asian regional and international readership broadens a Sri Lankan scholar’s visibility.
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.
