About the Journal
The European Journal of International Law (EJIL) is firmly established as one of the world’s foremost journals in its field. With its distinctive combination of theoretical and practical approaches, and evolving rubrics which nurture distinct modes of scholarship and foster debate on current controversial issues, the journal offers readers and authors a unique opportunity to engage with leading thinking on international law. In each issue, it aims to provide a menu of articles from which any International Law scholar, regardless of specific interests and specialization, will find articles of relevance and interest.
EJIL aims to foster an intellectual community and this commitment is reflected in the journal’s editing and reviewing practices. EJIL undertakes extensive engagement with submitted articles, from the moment of submission to dissemination, with a view to publishing articles with a long shelf life that generate discussion. The philosophy of our review process is that there is nothing that is so good that it cannot be made better. Even articles clearly destined for publication typically receive comments and suggestions. EJIL takes special pride in publishing the work of early career scholars.
EJIL is more than a journal – it is “an ecosystem” for reflection on international law, consisting of the journal, the blog EJIL:Talk!, the podcast EJIL:The Podcast!, the video-series EJIL:Live! and social media presence. The ecosystem is more than the sum of its parts: through close collaboration, the parts of the ecosystem allow new ideas about international law to reach the broadest possible audience.
To assess its own performance, EJIL looks at, among other things, the number of high-quality submissions; the number of years that a contribution is downloaded or accessed; the number of peer reviewers willing to review for the journal and the quality of their reviews; and the inclusiveness across various EJIL media in terms of topics, approaches, methods, forms, subfields of international law and the diversity of authors and interlocutors. It also cares about fostering talent and consciously engages with practices of knowledge production, challenging negative practices in academia.
Whether it is the journal, the blog, the podcast or the video-series, EJIL aspires to be the obvious go-to place for international law.
