Peer Review Process
Balobe Law Journal will publish only papers that strictly follow the guidelines and manuscript preparation. All submitted manuscripts are going through a double-blind peer review process. Those papers are read by editorial members (upon field of specialisation) and will be screened by the Managing Editor to meet the necessary criteria of publication in two weeks. Every submitted manuscript that passes this step will be checked by iThenticate to identify any plagiarism. Manuscripts will be sent to two reviewers, based on their historical experience in reviewing manuscripts or based on their field of specialisation. The time period for review is three weeks. Balobe Law Journal has review forms in order to keep the same items reviewed by two reviewers. The editorial board will make a decision upon the reviewers comments or advice. Reviewers will give their assessment on originality, clarity of presentation, and contribution to the field/science. Balobe Law Journal has four kinds of decisions:
- Accepted, as it is
- Accepted by Minor Revisions (let authors revise within stipulated time)
- Accepted by Major Revisions (let authors revise within stipulated time)
- Rejected (generally, on grounds of outside of scope and aim, major technical description problems, lack of clarity of presentation)
