IJLGMR invites original, unpublished research papers for its inaugural issue, to be published on 30 September 2026.
What we are looking for
Full-length research papers and long articles of 2,500 to 4,000 words, in any area of law or governance, or from political science, public administration, economics, sociology, or international relations where the work engages with legal or governance questions.
The Journal does not accept short notes, case comments, or book reviews. Research papers and long articles are the only categories published.
Who may submit
Submissions are welcome from law students, research scholars, academics, and practising professionals. Manuscripts are assessed on their content; the author's stage of career is not a criterion of acceptance.
