LJLPS Call for Papers: Submissions from Uganda

The Lexfolio Journal of Law, Policy and Social Sciences (LJLPS) invites manuscripts from law faculty, graduate students, and researchers based in Uganda.

Scope

We welcome comparative law, human rights, and policy scholarship, including papers that place Uganda’s legal or policy framework in comparative perspective with South Asian 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 exists 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); papers in other social sciences should follow APA style. Manuscripts should be original, unpublished, and not under review elsewhere.

How to submit

For researchers whose institutions assess output against criteria set by NCHE (National Council for Higher Education), a peer-reviewed, open-access publication with a DOI and Google Scholar visibility can be a useful addition to a publication record.
