Peer Reviewers

Publication of articles in Hazairin: Journal of Legal Studies depends entirely on their scientific validity and coherence as assessed by our editors and/or peer reviewers, who will also assess whether the writing is understandable and whether the work is a useful contribution to the field. Hazairin: Journal of Legal Studies appreciates the efforts and suggestions provided by its reviewers.

Initial Manuscript Evaluation

The editor will evaluate all submitted manuscripts first. Although rare, exceptional manuscripts may be accepted at this stage. Manuscripts rejected at this stage are considered insufficiently original, have serious scientific shortcomings, or are outside the scope and objectives of Hazairin: Journal of Legal Studies. Manuscripts that meet the minimum criteria will be forwarded to experts for review.

Types of Peer Review

Submitted manuscripts will generally be reviewed by two to three experts who will be asked to assess whether the manuscript is scientific and coherent, whether it is a duplicate of a published work, and whether the manuscript is clear enough to be published or not. The method used is double-blind peer review.

Decision

Reviewers provide recommendations to the editor, who is responsible for the final decision to accept or reject an article. The editor will make a decision based on these reports and, if necessary, will consult with members of the Editorial Board. The editor's decision is final.
