REFEREE'S REPORT FORM

Peer review is the system used to assess the quality of a manuscript before it is published. Independent researchers in the relevant research area assess submitted manuscripts for originality, validity, and significance to help editors determine whether a manuscript should be published in their Journal. Peer review is an integral part of scientific publishing that confirms the validity of the manuscript. Peer reviewers are experts who volunteer their time to help improve the manuscripts they review. By undergoing peer review, manuscripts should become more robust, easier to read, and more useful.

All manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Law, Public Policies, and Human Sciences, JLPPHS, are peer-reviewed by at least two independent referees. The review process is done based on the form indicated below.

Revised manuscripts

Manuscripts returned to authors for revision should be sent back to the editors within two months. The revised manuscript should be submitted to the same e-mail address by the author who originally submitted the article. The author should also answer the referees' comments, detailing changes made in the new version and, in case some of the referees' suggestions were not accepted, justifying the reason for this. After the submission has been checked by the editors, another e-mail will be sent with the final comments and suitable information.

Final version

As soon as all questions about referees' comments and the revision itself are solved, the editors will notify the author if the article was accepted or declined by e-mail. The editors of JLPPHS reserve the right to make small changes to the manuscript, if necessary, to adjust them to the guidelines of the Journal or improve the style, respecting naturally the content of the article. Whatever the nature of the manuscript, it should be original in terms of methodology, information, interpretation, or critique.
