Peer Review Policy
Juris Gentium Law Review, as a student-based journal, applies an internal and external review process. Our internal review process consists of substantive and format reviews by our Editorial Team, while our external review process consists of substantive review conducted by an independent expert reviewer (a legal practitioner and/or scholar whose research focus aligns with the article's subject-matter). The authors are welcome to suggest at least three potential reviewers along with name and their email address. However, our Editorial Team reserves the right to determine the appropriate reviewers for a given article. Each articles are sent to at least one expert reviewer, and possibly a second expert reviewer on the basis of necessity.
The fate of articles are determined by the Editorial Team based on these recommendations. If there are revisions required, the authors will be asked to revise until the Editorial Team is satisfied.
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 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 database by Juris Gentium Law Review and, secondly, against as much as possible online databases.
If an article was primarily or partially generated using Artifical Intelligence (AI), authors are obligated to disclose upon submission so the Editorial Team can evaluate the content generated. Reviewers suspecting any inappropriate/undisclosed use of generative AI in a submission should flag their concerns with the Editorial Team. Juris Gentium Law Review will investigate into such concerns raised, potentially with the involvement of independent experts on the technology. Reviewers and/or editors are prohibited from using ChatGPT or other generative AI tools to generate review reports, comments, summaries, or letters inappropriately. Such practices will not be included in the final decision on an article.
