Editorial Policy of HUFS Global Law Review

To support legal research activities, Law Research Institute of the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies has published the HUFS Global Law Review. The HUFS Global Law Review will be publishing articles on various legal researches in the fields of international, regional and comparative laws. Aiming for the highest position as an international academic law journal, the HUFS Global Law Review strives to enhance the fairness and transparency of the evaluation process as stated below:

 

1. Submission of Article

(1) There is no time limit for a submitted article to be accepted by the editor-in-chief. Upon receiving the article, the editor-in-chief is to give a certificate of acceptance to the submitter.

(2) The HUFS Global Law Review is open to unsolicited papers. Articles of less than 12,000 words are preferred. Citations in manuscripts must appear in footnotes, not endnotes. Citations should conform as closely as possible to the illustrated examples of citation in the article 8. The publishers are unable to check the accuracy of references and citations and it is the submitter’s responsibility to ensure that all references and citations are correct.

(3) Considering the period of evaluation and convenience in submitting an article, the HUFS Global Law Review allows articles to be submitted through the internet. A submitter should attach a copy of the article with a cover letter including the author's personal information.
