Before submitting your work to NJHR, please refer to our author instructions directed to contributors in order to ensure the most efficient processing of your article through the peer-review process.
Submissions
Submissions to the NJHR should be sent electronically, in Word format to the Journal's online submission site where authors will receive instruction on submission information, copyright and the Journal's style guidelines. While we encourage authors to use our online website, submissions may also be sent directly to the Managing Editor with an assurance that the article has not been published, submitted or accepted elsewhere and a cover sheet, providing the name and institutional contact details of the author.
Submissions should include an abstract of up to 150 words preceding the main text.
As each manuscript will be sent for anonymous ‘double-blind’ review, author information should appear on a separate cover sheet.
Only contributions in reasonable English will be considered for publication.
The following word-lengths apply to the submissions:
- Articles section 10,000 words long (including footnotes)
- Current Legal Developments section 5,000 words
- Book Essay section 2,000 words and
