Author Guidelines

Manuscripts: Contributors should submit their manuscripts (main articles, commentaries, review articles, and book reviews) by e-mail, with one hard copy being sent separately by post. All material must be original, unpublished, and should not have been submitted for publication elsewhere. Main articles must have a length of 3,000 to 6,000 words. Commentaries and review articles must not exceed 1,500 to 2000 words.

BookReviews: Book reviews must contain the name of the author, the title of the book reviewed, particulars of the publisher, place, and date of publication, number of pages, and price. Authors who wish to have their book considered for review should ask their publisher to send a copy to the Editor, CLAWS Journal.

Submission: Since manuscripts will be sent out anonymously for peer review, the authors should omit their identity from the manuscript. The author’s name, rank, unit/institutional affiliation, e-mail ID, postal address, and telephone number should be submitted on a separate cover page along with a Copyright Transfer Form. Each article must be accompanied by an abstract of about 250 to 300 words. A four to five line (or 75 words) biographical note describing the author should accompany the manuscript. Manuscripts should be typed in double space, including endnotes and references, with 1.5 inch (3.0 cm) margins, on one side of A4 size paper.

Acceptance and Revision: Intimation regarding the suitability of the article for publication will be given within 30 days of its receipt in normal cases. Articles not accepted for publication will not be returned. The Editorial team reserves the right to edit articles for better clarity and to ensure that the style conforms to the style of the CLAWS Journal. However, views expressed by an author will not be altered. Authors should be prepared to revise their manuscript based on the suggestions made by the reviewers and the editorial team.

Acceptance: The article will be selected for publication based on a peer-review process and is subject to scrutiny by the editorial committee.

Honorarium: A suitable honorarium will be paid for articles accepted for publication. The CLAWS Journal may also commission articles from time to time.
