Baku State University Law Review is committed to scholarly excellence and transparency through its double-blind peer review process. In this type of review process, the identities of the author and the reviewer are not disclosed to each other.
This policy outlines the review process including editorial assessment, reviewer selection, peer review and the final decision.

I. Editorial Assessment
Initial assessment is evaluating a submitted manuscript by editors to determine whether it is suitable for peer review. This process helps to ensure that only papers of sufficent quality are sent to reviewers.
Upon successful completion of the initial assessment, the manuscript proceeds to peer review; however, if it does not meet the initial criteria, the author is notified of the decision.
II. Reviewer Selection

This database ensures that each manuscript is matched with the most qualified reviewers possible. Reviewers are selected based on their area of expertise, prior experience in legal scholarship.
III. Review Report
Reviewers evaluate the manuscript in accordance with the review form. Then, reviewers submit final reports providing recommendations for acceptance, conditional acceptance with revision, or rejection. These reports serve as critical inputs for the Editorial Board’s ultimate decision.
IV. Final Decision
After considering reviewer feedback and consulting with the Editorial Board, the Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision on manuscript acceptance. Accepted manuscripts then undergo careful editing to conform to the journal’s established standards.
