Author guidelines
These guidelines are provisional until the editorial board confirms them before the first call for papers.
Scope
Original research on law and society in Asia, from doctrinal analysis to fieldwork, and especially work that brings the two together. Themes include refugees, migration, environmental justice, human rights, and corruption and transparency.
Language and length
Articles in English, with title, abstract and keywords in English; a Bangla abstract is welcome. Article length will be set in the call for papers.
Peer review
After an editorial check for scope and quality, each article goes to at least two external referees under double-blind review.
Fees, copyright and licence
There are no submission or publication charges. Authors keep copyright, and articles are published under an open Creative Commons licence.
Research ethics
Studies involving human participants must state the ethics approval they received. Participants must not be identifiable without their informed consent.
Before you submit
- The article has not been published and is not under review elsewhere.
- The file is anonymised for blind review, with author details removed.
- Title, abstract and keywords are in English.
- References are complete and consistent in one recognised style.
- Ethics approval is stated where the research involves people.
Submissions
Submissions open with the first call for papers. Until then, write to the editors with any question.
