Prior to acceptance for publication, the article will be reviewed by a member of the editorial staff, followed by a blind peer review. Peer review is arranged for the purpose of confirming the quality of the work and giving the author an opportunity to take any suggested revisions into account before acceptance of publication with Queen Mary Law Journal.
Prior to publication, a member of the editorial staff will copy-edit the text and conform the layout to the journal’s style. The copy editor and /or journal editor will liaise with the author if any queries arise. Once the copy-edit is complete and responses to editor queries are incorporated, the file will be sent to the typesetter. Proofs will be sent to authors in PDF files to check and confirm that no errors were made while converting the files.
Shortly after receiving the confirmation on proofs, an offer of publication will be sent along with a license to publish which must be signed and reverted by the authors within the designated time frame, failing which the work will not be published.
