LEAP submissions

We invite submissions of articles up to 10,000 words, discussion notes up to 6,000 words, and replies and exchanges not exceeding 3,000 words. Papers should be submitted as WORD or PDF documents and composed in a twelve point font. First submissions should not contain acknowledgements or any information that could identify the author to reviewers. Submissions should also be edited carefully to contain no more words than is necessary. All published submissions will have undergone blind review by at least to external reviewers, and the journal will notify authors of submitted pieces about the progress of their submission within six weeks.

Submission of a manuscript to LEAP is understood to imply that the manuscript is offered for first publication in LEAP and that no version is under consideration by any other journal or publisher. This guideline does not rule out submissions published as working papers or posted electronically on the author’s personal website or for circulation at a conference.

All submissions should be sent to: leap.journal@upf.edu

Once a paper is accepted, its author will adjust it to the LEAP Author guidelines.

APC: The journal does not charge any submission or publication fee

Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement

Law, Ethics and Philosophy (LEAP) is a peer-reviewed, open access international journal published by Pompeu Fabra University and dedicated to work in ethics, legal theory, and social and political philosophy. It follows the COPE Core Practices. The publication ethics of LEAP is included below, but interested parties should always refer to the COPE Core Practices linked above for further details.

Content: LEAP is a peer-reviewed, open access international journal dedicated to work in ethics, legal theory, and social and political philosophy. It welcomes clear, rigorous and original submissions that address concrete issues of public concern as well as more abstract theoretical questions. It also has the distinctive aims of (a) fostering work drawing on a variety of disciplines within the social and natural sciences, including biology, economics, history, and psychology; and (b) promoting dialogue between the Anglophone and non-Anglophone worlds.

Submissions: We invite submissions of articles up to 10,000 words, discussion notes up to 6,000 words, and replies and exchanges not exceeding 3,000 words. Papers should be submitted as WORD or PDF documents and composed in a twelve point font. First submissions should not contain acknowledgements or any information that could identify the author to reviewers. Submissions should also be edited carefully to contain no more words than is necessary. All submissions should be sent to: leap.journal@upf.edu

Submission of a manuscript to LEAP is understood to imply that the manuscript is offered for first publication in LEAP and that no version is under consideration by any other journal or publisher. This guideline does not rule out submissions published as working papers or posted electronically on the author’s personal website or for circulation at a conference. Once a paper is accepted, its author will adjust it to the LEAP Author guidelines.

Journal language: Although LEAP accepts exclusively submissions in English, the journal strongly encourages submissions from authors who also write in languages other than English, and will always strive to ensure that their work is assessed on the basis of its content and not primarily its mode of expression. Where necessary, the editorial process provides authors with guidance regarding matters of English style.

Peer review: The Editors are responsible for deciding which of the manuscripts submitted to the journal will be published, based on the reports supplied by external reviewers. All published submissions will have undergone blind review by at least to external reviewers. LEAP applies double blind review, which means that both the reviewer and the author identities are concealed from each other throughout the process. The journal will notify authors of submitted pieces about the progress of their submission within six weeks.

Copyright: The journal is published by Pompeu Fabra University and hosted by RACO, the Catalan repository of open access journals (http://raco.cat/index.php/leap). Enquiries regarding the journal may be directed to: leap.journal@upf.edu.

LEAP is an open access journal which means that all content is freely available without charge to the user or his/her institution. Users are allowed to read, download, copy distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author. This is in accordance with the BOAI definition of open access

Originality and plagiarism: Authors should ensure that they submit only entirely original works and, where the work of others is used, that this has been appropriately cited. The Editors reserve the right to retract papers involving plagiarism or whose content has already been published, entirely or in part, elsewhere. The Editors also reserve the right to issue an expression of concern if they receive inconclusive evidence of research or publication misconduct by the authors, if they believe that an investigation into alleged misconduct related to the publication either has not been, or would not be, fair and impartial or conclusive, or if an investigation is underway but a judgement will not be available for a considerable time. LEAP takes seriously allegations of misconduct pre-publication and post-publication. Allegations may be sent to: leap.journal@upf.edu
