Peer Review Process

The Journal of Legal and Judicial Teachings follows a double-blind peer review process. Upon receiving a manuscript, the journal manager conducts a preliminary assessment of both the formal and substantive aspects of the article. If the article falls within the scope of the journal's acceptable topics and meets the formal criteria, it is then referred to the editorial board for the selection of reviewers. 

Once the reviewers are determined, the articles are sent for peer evaluation, and the journal awaits the reviewers' feedback. This peer review process is confidential and typically lasts for an average of three months. If the article is referred to a third or fourth reviewer, the review process may extend to a minimum of five months. It is important to note that these timelines are average estimates and may vary based on the volume of submissions or the specific topic of the article.

After the peer review stage, if an article is deemed unacceptable, the author will be notified via a formal letter. However, if the article is considered suitable for publication, the author will receive a letter outlining the necessary formal and substantive revisions.

It is crucial to mention that the issuance of an acceptance certificate for the article is contingent upon adherence to the journal’s formal and substantive guidelines and final approval by the journal manager.
