Submit Your Manuscript to LJLPS

Use this form to submit a manuscript to the Lexfolio Journal of Law, Policy and Social Sciences (LJLPS). Standard review is free, and papers published in Volume 1, Issue 1 (January to February 2027) carry no publication fee. If you need a quicker decision, you can choose the optional paid fast-track review on the form. You will receive a manuscript ID by email as soon as you submit.

Before you submit

Read the author guidelines and check the word limit for your type of submission.
Save your manuscript as a Word file (.doc or .docx). Remove your name, institution and any self-identifying references from the file, because review is double-blind.
Keep an abstract of 150 to 300 words and 4 to 6 keywords ready to paste into the form.
Use the Bluebook or OSCOLA for law papers, or APA for other social sciences, consistently.
Make sure the paper is original, unpublished and not under review anywhere else.
