Peer Review System
Arbitration System
Peer Review Process (double-blind peer review)
In order to safeguard the academic quality of the works submitted to the International Review of Extradition Law, a rigorous arbitration process is implemented by evaluators specialized in extraditional law, international judicial cooperation, international criminal law, and human rights.
All articles or essays submitted to the review will undergo an initial editorial selection that verifies thematic relevance (clear link with extraditional law and related areas) and compliance with formal requirements.
Subsequently, the manuscripts will be evaluated under a double-blind peer review process:
- Authors do not know the identity of the evaluators.
- Evaluators do not have access to the authors’ identity or affiliation.
The evaluation will consider, among other things, originality, relevance, methodological rigor, clarity of argumentation, cohesion, and the quality/relevance of sources.
Possible decisions of the peer review (with mandatory justification):
- Approved: publishable after minor stylistic changes or specific clarifications are made.
- Approved with observations: publishable once the substantive modifications indicated by the reviewer are incorporated.
- Rejected: not publishable.
The review reserves the right to request additional verifications (e.g., similarity checks, data, and appendices) and to reject works that fail to meet ethical or academic quality standards.
