Peer Review Policy

Asian Legal Reform Journal is applying the double blind review process. The authors are welcome to suggest at least three potential reviewers along with name and their email address. However, the decision to determine the appropriate reviewers is the right of the editor. The approved gallery proof of manuscript will be viewed online as early as possible upon received from the author and final proofreading by the editor in chief.

Plagiarism and self-plagiarism are not allowed. A software tool may be used so that the submitted articles are screened for plagiarism. Detection of overlapping and similar text is used there and so quotations and appropriate citations have to be used whenever required. It is basically the author's duty to only submit a manuscript that is free from plagiarism and academically malpractices. The editor, however, double checks each article before its publication. The first step is to check plagiarism against offline databases by Asian Legal Reform Journal Editorial Board and, secondly, against as much as possible online databases.
