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.
