Who we are

How to publish
The RIEJ is published in June and December. It is available on paper and online through Cairn and Strada.
Its activities are undertaken in compliance with its Charter.
Our “Etudes” section features innovative and cutting-edge analyses complying with the strictest scientific standards. The outputs of a collective research project can be published as a “Dossier”. A specific section is devoted to articles selected following a presentation and discussion at a meeting of the Interdisciplinary Seminar for Legal Studies. Finally, outstanding theses written by law students (including Ph.D. students) as part of their curriculum can be published in a dedicated section called “Premiers Travaux”.
The RIEJ is open to any critical analysis of the law, particularly if it is based on an interdisciplinary approach (combining legal and philosophical approaches, political science, sociology, anthropology, etc.). Article can be sent to Diane Bernard, editor-in-chief, to the email address riej@usaintlouis.be.
The double (and double-blind) peer review process takes about three months. The experts give an overall assessment of the submitted article, including both substantive and formal comments. Based on these evaluations, the article is either accepted (as it is or subject to minor changes) or rejected.
Authors are requested to respect the Charter and editorial guidelines of the RIEJ from the initial submission of their manuscript.
