How partners of Journal Law and Justice work with authors: what they do, how the work flows and the rules that keep the journal's decisions independent.

At a glance

  • Partners assist authors; they never represent the editorial office.
  • Every manuscript is reviewed and decided exactly like any other.
  • Work only with the written consent of all authors.

The partner program of Journal Law and Justice is not open at the moment. Questions go to [email protected].

What partners do

  • Help authors prepare the manuscript in the journal template and the author guidelines.
  • Submit manuscripts on behalf of the authors who asked for it.
  • Follow each manuscript on the tracking page and talk with the editors there with the author.
  • Help the author answer the reviewers and upload the revision.
  • See the invoices of the manuscripts they assist and the commission they earn.

How the work flows

  1. The journal approves your registration.
  2. You agree with the author on the work and obtain the written consent of every author.
  3. You submit the manuscript (or the author does) and follow it through review and revision.
  4. When the author pays the publication fee, your commission is recorded; see commission.
  5. You withdraw your balance under the withdrawal policy.

What partners may not do

  • Promise acceptance, a publication date or a review outcome.
  • Write manuscripts for authors, change the authors, data or citations, or submit the same manuscript elsewhere at the same time.
  • Contact editors or reviewers to influence a decision.
  • Use authors' data for anything other than their manuscripts at Journal Law and Justice.

A breach ends the partnership and the manuscripts concerned are checked again under the journal's publication ethics and misconduct policies.
