Articles must be solely the unpublished original work of the author(s) stated, must not have been previously published elsewhere, and must not be under consideration by any another journal. The Editor(s) or the publisher assumes no responsibility for the statements and opinions of author(s).

The IJLIS strongly discourages duplication/reduplication of data already published in other journals/books. If and when duplication is detected after publishing in IJLIS, the journal will be forced to 'retract' such articles. All articles submitted to IJLIS are subject to peer review process. All accepted articles will be suitably edited before publication.

All articles submitted for publication to the IJLIS should follow the below mentioned guidelines:

Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process is a special service for the article that enables it to get a faster response in the pre-review stage from the handling editor as well as a review from the reviewer. An author can get a faster response of pre-review maximum in 3 days since submission, and a review process by the reviewer maximum in 5 days, followed by revision/publication in 2 days. If the article gets notified for revision by the handling editor, then it will take another 5 days for external review by the previous reviewer or alternative reviewer.

An author is free to withdraw an article at no charge-as long as it is withdrawn within 5 days of its initial submission. Once the article is accepted author have to pay 50% of the APC to withdraw manuscript (for the resources used).
