The Lex Scripta Magazine of Law and Policy is committed to upholding the integrity of the academic process and encouraging original research and writing. Accordingly, it adopts binding editorial safeguards to ensure that no plagiarized material shall be published in the issue. The Lex Scripta Magazine adopts integral editorial standards where submissions are pre-screened by the use of industry-standard software, aided by human intervention to assess the nature of similarity indicated by the software, whether incidental or substantive. Articles displaying high levels of similarity are thus accountable to summary rejection in accordance with the extant guidelines issued by the University Grants Commission. Authors may be advised accordingly, and ensure that the submissions returned by the Editorial board indicating concerns about the content and proposed suggestions are complied with. Non-compliance with the plagiarism policy or the editorial board’s objections may result in the rejection of the submission. The Editorial Board, accordingly requests the authors to cooperate with them during the review process.

Review Policy

                               The Lex Scripta Magazine adopts a blind review process. Hence, submissions containing references to the identity of the authors in the body of the manuscript are liable to rejection. Authors must provide their personal details and a passport-size photo in the body of the email, enclosing the submission as in word format attachment. The Lex Scripta Magazine reserves its right not to disclose the reasons for acceptance/rejection of a given submission to the authors. The final date for submission to feature an article in the next issue is provided in the Call-for-Papers issued by the Magazine from time to time. However, the Lex Scripta Magazine accepts submissions on a rolling basis, whereby articles submitted post the deadline for a given issue shall nevertheless be considered for review in the subsequent issues, subject to the authors providing their consent for the same.

The time taken for review of an Issue ranges between four to six weeks after the expiry of the deadline. While the Editorial Board makes its best attempts to ensure a constant frequency of publication, the review process may be delayed on account of extraneous circumstances. The Editorial Board shall ensure the timely intimation of such delays at which stage the cooperation of the authors shall be highly valued. A manuscript under review shall not be submitted to another publication pending the outcome of the editing process.

Once accepted, the manuscript shall become a part of the Lex Scripta Magazine’s intellectual property. In case of citations involving unpublished research, it is assumed that the Author had obtained the necessary permissions from the authors of the concerned unpublished sources. Any liability arising in this regard shall be borne solely by the Author and the Magazine assumes no burden for the same.
