Instructions for Authors
Správní právo is a double-blind-peer-reviewed journal. Articles are written in Czech or Slovak, tables of contents, key words and abstracts are also available in English. All manuscripts received are evaluated by the editorial board of Správní právo and by two anonymous external referees. Please note that our evaluation process takes account of several criteria. Excellence is a necessary condition for publication, but it is not always a sufficient condition. The need for a balance of topics, the Journal's particular areas of interest, which may change over time, the fact that something similar has already been published, etc., may also influence the final decision. Therefore, a rejection does not necessarily reflect upon the quality of a piece.
