General
Journal of East Asia and International Law (JEAIL) has been semi-annually published since 2008 by the YIJUN Institute of International Law. It aims to promote research and thinking of legal scholars and practitioners from both East Asia and another regions having its regional focus. As the unique globally recognized international law review (ESCI/SCOPUS) focusing on East Asian regional affairs, the Journal covers all aspects of public international law applicable to East Asia within its topical scope. In addition, significant developments relating to international law will be dealt with from an independent viewpoint of East Asia.
The Journal welcomes academic articles and reports containing insightful, provocative and creative ideas. All drafts will be peer-reviewed through the fair, independent and scientific process. These positions are ensured by its Editorial and International Advisory Board drawn from outstanding lawyers from the countries in this region as well as from its global network.
The articles and other materials contained in the Journal reflect the views of their authors and do not necessarily coincide with those of either Editor-in-Chief, or the Editorial Board of the Journal.

Ethical Rule

In case of the violation, the publication shall be cancelled and any manuscripts of that author shall not be considered by the editorial board for possible publications for the next five years. Although the Journal staff and referees review each contribution for potential violations of research ethics including plagiarism, all responsibilities for potential research ethics violations shall be assumed by the author himself/herself.

The Selection Process
Once a draft article is received, the chief editor will consult with the executive editor and the managing editor to decide if the draft is consistent with the Journal’s policies and whether the article should be reviewed through preliminary examination. If the draft is deemed reviewable, the chief editor in cooperation with editorial board members forms a paper selection committee. The paper selection committee is composed of both inner-board members and outside expert(s) in order to review the article fairly and professionally. The chief editor will contact the author and two reviewers in the course of reviewing the draft. If the reviewers recommend the publication of the article, it will be published in due course. The chief editor fully respects the opinions of the reviewers. The chief editor will only make a decision to publish or not publish when the reviewers are unable to come to a consensus. The chief editor, if the draft is selected for publication, will make a Grant of License Agreement (GOL) with the author and will provide further information on the publication process.


License Agreement
The author is required to read and accept the terms contained in the License Agreement in order to publish his/her article at Journal of East Asia and International Law.
