Peer review process

Journal of International Commercial and Investment Arbitration (JICIA) is a peer reviewed journal. Editorial decisions are only made by examining complete and final manuscripts. All decisions remain within the full discretion of the Editorial Board. It should be confirmed by authors that the manuscript is original and it has not been, and will not be, submitted to any other journals at the time of reviewing by JICIA

The review process is carried out in two stages. In the first stage, manuscripts are appraised by the editors-in-chief. If the manuscript is relevant to the Journal areas and appropriate for publication, the manuscript is then passed to other members of the editorial board for a detailed review. The aim is to complete the review of manuscripts within two months.

Authors should submit their work by uploading as a word doc/docx via online submission system. There is no deadline for submission and manuscripts are considered on a rolling basis. If you have any queries before submission, please contact the Journal (jicia@atu.ac.ir).

JICIA only publishes manuscripts originally written in English. It does not accept translated manuscripts. If English is not the first language, it is strongly recommended that language editing should be used before submission in order to ensure that the manuscript is understood by the editors and reviewers.
