Indian Law Review (Scopus-Indexed, Peer-Reviewed) — Rolling Submissions

Indian Law Review is an academic-led, double-anonymised peer-reviewed, generalist journal on the laws of the Indian subcontinent, published by Taylor & Francis (Routledge). It publishes peer-reviewed scholarship across all areas of law, including comparative perspectives that engage with the laws of the Indian subcontinent, and offers a forum for the community of scholars working on the laws of the region both within and outside the subcontinent. The journal publishes three issues per year. ISSN: 2473-0580 (print), 2473-0599 (online). It is one of only three generalist Indian law journals indexed in Scopus.

• Scopus — currently indexed; coverage 2017 to present, active source (confirmed at SCImago Journal Rank, scimagojr.com, and corroborated by the National Law School of India University). Best quartile Q3, subject area Law.
• UGC-CARE listed.
• Indexed and abstracted across Taylor & Francis / Routledge platforms and major legal databases.

The journal welcomes original research on the laws of the Indian subcontinent spanning all areas of law — constitutional law, public law, private law, criminal law, commercial and corporate law, comparative law, legal theory and methodology, and related fields. Comparative work and contributions from jurisdictions with historical and geographical connections to India are encouraged. It publishes full-length articles, case notes, and book reviews.

Submissions are open to academicians, researchers, legal practitioners, postgraduate and doctoral students, and independent scholars from India and around the world. As a generalist Scopus-indexed journal edited by faculty, it is an excellent venue for scholars seeking internationally indexed publication of work on Indian and South Asian law.

• Peer review: double-anonymised (double-blind). Manuscripts must be anonymised — the main document with abstract, keywords, main text and references should not reveal the author's identity.
• Citation style: OSCOLA, supplemented by the journal's official Supplementary Citation Guidelines for Indian Legal Materials (published by Taylor & Francis).
• Article types: research articles, case notes, and book reviews; include an abstract and keywords.
• For exact word limits, formatting and the full checklist, consult the official Instructions for Authors on the journal page before submitting.

There is no Article Processing Charge (APC) if you publish in the standard (non-open-access) way — this keeps the journal accessible to Indian authors without research funding. If you choose to publish gold open access, an APC applies, which may be reduced or fully waived where your institution or funder has an open-access read-and-publish agreement with Taylor & Francis. Open access is optional, not required.

Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis, year-round, through the journal's official ScholarOne submission system reached from the Indian Law Review page on Taylor & Francis Online. Read the Instructions for Authors on the journal page first, prepare an anonymised manuscript, and submit via the official portal.
