Call for Papers

Call for Papers — open all year

IJILR publishes four issues a year: January–March, April–June, July–September and October–December. A manuscript received by the 19th of the closing month is considered for that issue, which is published at the end of the month; anything received after that date goes to the next issue. The current issue and its deadline are shown on the home page.

Submit a Manuscript Author Guidelines

The International Journal of Integrated Law Review (ISSN 2582-7014) invites original, unpublished manuscripts for its forthcoming issue. The journal is open access, quarterly, and double-blind peer reviewed.

Who should submit

Academics, research scholars, doctoral candidates, practising advocates, judicial officers, policy researchers and law students. There is no requirement of institutional affiliation and no seniority threshold. Manuscripts are assessed blind, on their merit.

What we are looking for

Papers that make an argument and support it. The journal has a particular interest in work that connects Indian legal questions to international and comparative material, and in scholarship on areas where the law is still forming.

Themes of particular interest

  • Public international law and treaty practice
  • Private international law and conflict of laws
  • International human rights law
  • Gender equality and the law
  • Artificial intelligence, algorithmic decision-making and legal liability
  • Data protection, privacy and cyber law
  • Corporate governance and commercial law
  • International trade, investment and arbitration
  • Constitutional law and judicial review
  • Criminal law, justice administration and victimology
  • Environmental and climate law
  • Intellectual property
  • Legal ethics, governance and public policy
  • Comparative law and jurisprudence

This list is indicative. Any subject within the journal's Aims & Scope is welcome.

Manuscript types accepted

Research articles, review articles, case comments, legislative comments, essays and book reviews. See the Publication Policy for indicative word counts.
