Decision-Making Process

ELGI follows a systematic evaluation process for manuscripts exploring the mechanisms of law, economy, and public policy.

1. Initial Submission Screening

• Check: Verification of disciplinary scope and a Turnitin check (<15% similarity).

• Desk Rejection: Papers lacking analytical depth or falling outside the governance framework are rejected early.

2. Peer Review Process

• Assignment: Double-blind review by independent experts in Law, Economics, or Public Administration.

• Criteria: Logical coherence of argument, theoretical foundation, and policy relevance.

3. Editorial Evaluation and Final Decision

• Consolidation: The editor synthesizes feedback to ensure the research informs both academic and practical spheres.

4. Revisions and Resubmission

• Timelines: 2–3 weeks for minor policy adjustments; 4–6 weeks for major theoretical restructuring.

5. Appeals: Formal written appeals are reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief.

6. Post-Acceptance: Online publication under CC BY-NC 4.0 ensures accessibility for policymakers worldwide.

7. Ethical Oversight: Mandatory disclosure of all funding sources and potential conflicts of interest.
