Standards for publication in the Journal Law & Peace

The Journal Law & Peace is a journal institutionally supported by the Research and Post-Graduation Program of the Salesian University Center of São Paulo/UNISAL that is open to the academic community and destined to the publication of papers that, through their content, may contribute to the scientific formation and development, besides the upgrade in knowledge in the specific area of Law.

The publications must contain papers of the following character:

1 Original and unpublished papers, written by DOCTORS, which embrace theoretical and/or practical approaches.

2 Translations of texts not available in Portuguese that constitute fundaments to the Journal’s area of interest and contribute to the academic reflection.

3 Summaries of relevant productions that can keep the academic community informed of the advance in studies in the legal area.

For the publication of papers, the originals will be evaluated by experts (Ph.D. professors) through the double blind peer review system and their report will be certified by the Editorial Board of the Journal with respect to the formal aspects, being communicated to the author(s) afterwards.

The Editorial Board of the Journal has the attribution to select the papers based on these standards and watch over the respect for the editorial line. The Editor in Chief will forward the texts for evaluation to two or more experts duly registered and carefully elected according to the theme and the occupation area.

The submission of originals to the Journal must meet the following criteria:

- The papers forwarded for evaluation must be submitted directly to the system through the link http://revista.unisal.br/lo/index.php/direitoepaz/user/register and they must be in accordance with the standards of the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards.
