Peer Review Process
Mavisha: Law and Society Journal (MLSJ) review process uses a double-blind review system. First, manuscript are read by editorial members (upon the field of specialization) to meet the MLSJ's criteria. Then, the manuscript will be sent to at least two anonymous reviewers. Sometimes (if required) a third peer-reviewer is also needed for further recommendation. Reviewers' comments are then sent to the corresponding author for necessary actions and responses. Finally, the Editor shall inform the author of the results of the review as soon as possible, hopefully within sixty days.
The final decision of manuscript acceptance is made by Editor in Chief or Regional (Handling) Editor (together with Editorial Board if required) according to reviewers' critical comments. MLSJ has four tipes of decisions:
- Accepted, as it is
- Accepted by Minor Revisions (let authors revised with stipulated time)
- Accepted by Major Revisions (let authors revised with stipulated time)
- Rejected (generally, on grounds of the outside of scope and aim, major technical description problems, lack of clarity of presentation)
Editor will also run a plagiarism check using Turnitin or Ithenticate for the submitted articles before sending it to the reviewers. If a manuscript has over 15% of similarity, we will send back the article to the author to be revised for the plagiarised contents. The journal is carried out by using Mendeley as a Tool Reference Manager and Chicago Manual of Style 17th Edition (full note) as the style.
Publication of accepted articles including assigning the article to the published issues will be made by Editor in Chief by considering the sequence of accepted date and geographical distribution of authors as well as a thematic issue. All articles published Open Access will be immediately and permanently free for everyone to read and download. We are continuously working with our author communities to select the best choice of license options, currently being defined for this journal as Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY-SA).
