Peer Reviewers
A manuscript will be considered for publication:
- only on the assurance that it has not in whole or in part or in substance been published or offered for publication elsewhere;
- on the understanding that it may be submitted in confidence to an expert referee or expert referees for evaluation;
- on the understanding that the editors reserve the right to make what changes they consider desirable –
- to bring the manuscript into the house style of the BRICS Law Journal;
- to eliminate errors of typing, grammar, syntax, punctuation, spelling, idiom and the like;
- to eliminate ambiguity, illogicality, tautology, circumlocution and redundancy;
- to produce accuracy and coherence;
- to improve the mode of impression and style of writing;
- to avoid possible criminal or civil liability.
Authors are required to read their manuscripts with utmost care to avoid the need for editors to exercise these rights extensively. In particular, every quotation and every reference is to be carefully checked for accuracy. The editors will try to check once more, but are not always able to do so.
Authors are requested to acquaint themselves with the house style of the Research of English for Academic Purposes and to ensure that any submission accords with that style. Any submission not in the house style will, regrettably, not be considered for publication.
