This journal have just 3 editors, rest are students only. No institutional Id is mentioned for any editor, looks like a fake journal and won’t ever get the ISSN.
Isn’t Lawctopus watching that the journals don’t even have ISSN which is pre-requisite for the academic purpose? Please don’t publish anything and everything. There are a lot of call for papers got published regarding journals not having ISSN.
Hi,
First of all, an ISSN number is nothing but an ‘indexing’ number. It is NOT an assurance of any quality standard whatsoever. Please check our take here: https://blogs.lawships.in/law-students-think-journal-issn-number-big-thing/
Yes, UGC is a big fan of ISSN numbers, but again, we all know how competent UGC is.
ISSN number is NO pre-requisite for academic purposes. A well-researched, powerful piece published on a website/blog can mean more than an article published in a law journal with an ISSN number!
Secondly, just because a journal is a student-run journal again does NOT mean that it’s not a quality journal. NUJS Law Review’s articles (which is managed a lot by students) was cited so much by the SC in its 377 judgment.
Finally, if you have any complaint regarding the conduct of the people involved with the journal or any such issue, please let us know at tanuj.kalia@lawships.in.
