Information for authors
The journal "Law and State" accepts previously unpublished scientific articles, notes, reports on the results of research in various fields of jurisprudence (preferably of a comparative legal nature), reviews of new scientific legal publications, articles on significant scientific conferences on problems of state and law.
The author submits the article after registering on the journal's website and activating his personal account. The personal account must contain complete information about the place of work and position of the author of the article, as well as other personal data necessary for the further work of the editorial board of the journal.
Articles submitted to the editorial board undergo the procedure of checking for plagiarism (according to the Turnitin system) and double-blind online review in the editorial board without sending a review to the authors of the articles. The Editorial board does not accept articles in which plagiarism is found, and also has the right to reject articles that, in its opinion, do not meet other requirements of the journal. The author(s) is responsible for errors, inaccuracies of a scientific and factual nature. In case of revision or revision of the article at the request of the editorial board of the journal, the date of receipt is considered to be the date of receipt by the editorial board of the final version. If the article is rejected, the editorial board reserves the right not to discuss the reasons for the rejection. Materials received by the editorial office are not subject to return.
Applicants, undergraduates, postgraduates and doctoral students, if the article was not specially commissioned by them, submit the article for consideration to the editorial board with a review by the supervisor or Doctor of Law. Then the submitted articles undergo a double "blind" review on a general basis.
