Can authors submit to more than one law journal at a time?
Submitting to multiple journals:
Step 1: Select Law Reviews
Logged-in users can submit to law reviews at the Law Review Submission Pool.
Clicking the link above will take you to the page where you will find a list of law reviews that have chosen to be included in the law review submission pool. You can submit your article to a journal by adding it to your cart. Just click any of the journal covers to add that journal to your cart.
You can remove law reviews from your cart by clicking on its cover again or by clicking on the cart then clicking 'remove' to the right of the journal your would like to remove from your cart.
You can read the complete submission guidelines of any journal by clicking on the "Guidelines" link under the journal cover. The guidelines for that journal will appear in a closeable modal window. Authors may also learn more about the journal by clicking the 'Visit Journal' link.
Step 2: Add Manuscript Information
The "Add Manuscript Details" page is very straightforward. This is divided into 2 sections:
Section 1: Manuscript Details
- Title of the article*
- Abstract*
- Keywords describing your article* (comma separated)
- Primary manuscript file*
- Curriculum vitae*
- Supporting files Note: On the Primary Manuscript File and Supporting File sections, you will need to click the "Upload" button to add your files. There is no limit to the number of supporting files that you can upload.
Section 2: Author Details
- Name*
- Email*
- Institution
- Department
Some journals allow authors to optionally enter demographic information when submitting an article. If you choose to submit to one of these journals the submission form will include an optional section to submit this type of information. The section will clearly delineate which journals are allowing you to submit this information. This information will only be shown to journals configured to allow authors to submit demographic information at the time the author submits the manuscript.
Step 3: Files
The Files step is where you'll upload your files for submission. These files will be shared across all law reviews to which you're submitting in this particular submission. One caveat: If you're prompted to upload an Anonymized manuscript file as well as a Primary manuscript file, only the law reviews that have enabled anonymized submissions in their journal settings will see the anonymized manuscript file.
- Primary manuscript file*
- Anonymized manuscript file* (required if at least one law review in your selected list has enabled this requirement in their settings. If you do not see this file upload field, then none of the law reviews you've selected require this.)
- Curriculum vitae*
- Additional files and figures
Section 4: Confirm & Submit
This page is intended to serve as an area where you can double-check that everything is correct with your submission before submitting it. Common errors to check for include misspelled words and attaching the wrong files.
Payment options appear on the confirmation step. If your account is institutionally sponsored, you'll be able to choose whether your institution, or you personally, will cover the submission costs.
If you are not sponsored by an institution you will be required to enter your credit card information:
- Card number*
- Expiration date*
- Security code*
If you believe you should be sponsored by your institution, you can find out more here. If you would like for Scholastica to contact your institution for you to recommend that they open an institutional account please contact us.
Once you are sure everything is correct, click the "Submit" button to complete your submission.
