Noumena in Law Journal will conduct a selection and assessment process for the papers submitted to the editor to ensure compliance with the specified criteria for both the style and writing guidelines, focus, and scope, and excellent academic quality. Manuscripts are reviewed using the double blind peer review method, and it is ensured that there is no relationship between the author and the peer reviewer;

Desk Review.

Manuscripts that have met the criteria and if there are any discrepancies, the editor gives the author the opportunity to improve them according to the criteria, or reject the manuscript.

Peer review.

Manuscripts that have passed the desk review will be submitted to two reviewers who have expertise in the paper. The reviewer will review the work for two weeks. Manuscripts that do not pass the desk review will not proceed to this stage.

Reviewer's decision.

The reviewer will provide the following recommendations:

Accepted; means the manuscript can be accepted for publication

Accepted with minor revisions; means the manuscript can be accepted for publication after being revised in response to the reviewer's concerns

Accepted with major revisions; means substantive deficiencies in the manuscript, such as data analysis, the main theory used, and rewriting of paragraphs, need to be revised
