Aims & Scope

About the Journal Focus and Scope This journal was started in 1996 keeping in view the importance of intellectual property rights and their protection. The objective of the journal is two-fold: firstly, to enhance communication between policy makers, organizational agents, academics, and managers on the critical understanding and research on intellectual property; secondly, to promote the development of the newly cultivated research field. The journal publishes contributed / invited articles, case studies and patent reviews; technical notes on current IPR issues; literature review; world literature on IPR; national and international IPR news, book reviews, and conference reports. Peer Review Process All submitted manuscripts are assessed for techninal check before the editor is assigned. After technical check, an editor is assigned to the submitted manuscript. The manuscripts are evaluated at this step for orgirinality, scientific correctness, language, and scientific relevance to the scientific community. Not all manuscripts are eligoble for review process. A large percentage of manuscripts are rejected at this stage. The editor decides to review the manuscripts after aforementioned assessment of manuscript. The reviewers (at least two) are assigned for the review process after editorial assessment of the manuscripts which are potentialy interested to the readership of journal. Editors have the option to take additional reviews if needed. On the reccommendations of reviewers, editor decides whether to reject the manuscript or accept it with or without revisions (major or minor). JIPR follows the double blinded peer review process. Potential reviewers are selected keeping in mind the several factors including expertixe, reputation in the field, and with previous experiences of a reviewer's charachteristics. The reviewers recommended by authors are only be considered if others can not be found. Identities of reviewers are not revealed to the authors. Open Access Poli
