About the Journal
Description
About the Journal of Law - College of Law, Mustansiriyah University The Journal of Law issued by the College of Law at Mustansiriyah University is an important window through which the college seeks to provide the community with various legal and political studies that shed light on the legal reality in Iraq, the countries of the region, and in different parts across the world. What supports this fact is the amount of various studies and research papers that the magazine has published or seeks to publish of researchers from inside and outside Iraq. The first issue of the magazine was published in 2006 and it continued to be published until the present time. During this period, the magazine overcame many obstacles and difficulties it faced, as it was faithful to its scientific traditions in the necessity of persevering the publication of the various issues on their regular dates, as they are issued quarterly during the academic year, let alone securing the publishing of research papers in scientific conferences organized by the College of Law at Mustansiriyah University, which constitutes a great motivation and incentive for different researchers. The journal did not publish scientific research on legal and political studies only, but also extended its activity to include the publication of comments on the various regular and constitutional judicial rulings in both Iraqi and comparative judiciaries.. The publication fee per research paper is set at 100000 iq dinars.
Citation Policy
Accurate and ethical citation practices are essential to uphold the credibility, reproducibility, and integrity of scientific research. The Mustansiriyah Journal of Materials Engineering and Sustainability (MJMES) is committed to maintaining high standards of scholarly communication by ensuring that all references are transparent, verifiable, and ethically used. The following guidelines define the expectations for authors, reviewers, and editors in relation to citation conduct. Clear and Accurate Source Attribution All text, data, figures, or concepts derived from other works must be properly acknowledged. Direct quotations must appear in quotation marks and be accompanied by a precise reference. This requirement applies equally to any material reused from the author’s own prior publications to prevent self-plagiarism and ensure transparency. Responsible and Justified Self-Citation Self-citations are appropriate only when they make a genuine scholarly contribution to the current study. Overuse or irrelevant self-citation aimed at inflating citation metrics or creating an impression of continuity without substantive relevance is discouraged. Verification and Authenticity of References Authors must cite only those sources that have been personally read, understood, and verified. Copying citations from other reference lists without reviewing the original work, or including unverified or inaccessible sources, constitutes unethical practice. Scholarly Merit and Citation Neutrality Citations should reflect academic value and relevance to the research question or methodology. Preferential citation of one’s own publications, those of close collaborators, or those associated with the author’s institution or editorial board members should be avoided unless objectively justified. Citation Quality and Source Reliability References should primarily consist of peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings, and reputable academic publications. Non-scholarly materials such as commercial websites, promotional documents, unverified online content, or AI-generated references are not acceptable. Prohibition of Citation Manipulation In accordance with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) standards, all forms of citation manipulation—including coercive citation, citation stacking, or the deliberate inclusion of irrelevant references—are strictly prohibited. Such actions undermine the credibility of both the journal and the scholarly record. Accuracy and Completeness of Bibliographic Data Authors bear full responsibility for ensuring the correctness of all reference information, including author names, article titles, publication years, DOIs, and page numbers. Fabricated, incomplete, or inaccurate references may lead to rejection or post-publication corrections. Editorial and Reviewer Responsibility Editors and reviewers must not pressure authors to cite specific publications, including their own work, unless these references are demonstrably necessary for strengthening the scientific content or context of the manuscript. Consequences of Citation Misconduct Any evidence of citation malpractice—such as excessive self-citation, citation cartels, or the use of unverifiable or AI-fabricated references—will be formally investigated following COPE guidelines. Confirmed violations may result in manuscript rejection, retraction, or sanctions against the authors.
