Editorial Process

The editorial process at the International Journal for Public Policy, Law and Development (IJPLD) is meticulously designed to uphold the highest standards of scholarly quality and integrity. It encompasses the following stages:

• Initial Submission: Authors submit manuscripts through our online system. The editorial board assesses submissions for relevance and quality.

• Preliminary Assessment: Manuscripts are evaluated for scientific merit, originality, and potential impact. Manuscripts not meeting criteria are returned with feedback.

• Peer Review: Selected expert reviewers evaluate manuscripts based on validity, methodology, and relevance. The review process is typically blind to ensure impartiality.

• Reviewer Feedback: Reviewers provide feedback and recommendations, which the editorial team uses to decide whether to accept, revise, or reject the manuscript.

• Revisions: Authors address reviewers’ comments and resubmit revised manuscripts for further evaluation.

• Final Evaluation : The editorial team conducts a final review of the revised manuscript to ensure all concerns are addressed.

• Decision and Publication: Accepted manuscripts undergo copy-editing, proofreading, and are published in the journal after final approval from the authors.

• Ongoing Communication: The editorial team maintains open communication with authors throughout the process, supporting them in producing high-quality legal scholarships.

By adhering to this rigorous process, IJPLD ensures that each publication contributes valuable insights and advances knowledge within the legal field.
