The journal may accept a submission for publication, request revisions, seek further clarification, or decline publication. Editorial decisions will be based on scholarly considerations and the journal's editorial policies.

Where appropriate, the author or authors of the article under discussion may be invited to respond to the comments raised. Any response should address the substantive scholarly issues raised and comply with the journal's editorial and ethical standards.
IJIL seeks to facilitate balanced academic discussion. However, the opportunity to respond does not guarantee that the response will be published. The editorial team will make decisions about publication based on scholarly relevance, quality, and compliance with journal policy.
Accepted comments and responses may be published as separate scholarly contributions or in another suitable format determined by the journal. Where technically and editorially feasible, the published discussion will be linked to the original article to facilitate access and preserve the scholarly record.
Publication of a comment or response does not automatically modify the original article. Any correction, retraction, expression of concern, or other formal change to the published record will be handled in accordance with IJIL's Retraction and Correction Policy.
If a post-publication comment raises credible concerns about factual inaccuracies, research misconduct, plagiarism, duplicate publication, or other potential breaches of publication ethics, the journal will assess the matter under its Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement.
Where appropriate, the journal may request explanations or supporting documentation from the relevant parties and take further action in accordance with its applicable policies. Any formal correction, retraction, or expression of concern will be considered separately through the relevant editorial procedures.
IJIL will handle submissions with due regard for confidentiality, fairness, and impartiality. Information provided during the assessment process will be shared only as necessary for editorial evaluation, consultation, investigation, or other legitimate purposes consistent with the journal's policies.
