The Centre for Tax Laws, NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad invites submissions for its CTL Blog on contemporary developments in taxation law, policy, and jurisprudence.
About the Centre for Tax Laws
The Centre for Tax Laws (CTL) is a research-based centre under NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad, focusing on taxation law and policy. The Centre engages with evolving developments in taxation, promotes academic scholarship, and conducts workshops and other initiatives to make its research accessible to a wider audience.
The CTL Blog serves as a platform for students, practitioners, and scholars to examine contemporary issues in taxation law and policy, including allied areas such as economic offences and white-collar crime.
About the Opportunity
The Centre invites original articles for publication on the CTL Blog. Submissions should engage with contemporary developments in taxation law or policy and may examine legal, regulatory, policy, or jurisprudential questions.
Articles may be co-authored.
Themes
Submissions should primarily concern Taxation Law or Policy. Allied areas of law, including economic offences and white-collar crime, may also be considered.
Prospective authors are encouraged to review articles published on the CTL Blog to understand the nature and scope of submissions generally accepted by the Centre.
Word Limit & Formatting
- Articles should not exceed 2,000 words. The Editorial Board may exercise flexibility depending on the nature of the article and may permit longer submissions or multi-part series.
- All references should be hyperlinked within the body of the article.
- Where an online source is unavailable, references may be provided through footnotes.
- Articles submitted to another platform should not be simultaneously submitted to the CTL Blog.
- Each submission must be accompanied by a short 1–2 line summary of the article.
Author Details
Submissions must contain the following details:
- Name of the author.
- Year of study, where applicable.
- Institution or organisation of affiliation.
- A short bio of approximately 40–50 words.
- LinkedIn profile, if the author wishes to provide one.
Review Process
The CTL follows a two-step review process.
In the first stage, the Student Editorial Board conducts a preliminary review of the submission and communicates either rejection or provisional acceptance. This stage may take approximately seven days from receipt of the article.
Articles that receive provisional acceptance are subsequently reviewed by the Editorial Board. This review may take up to 14 days after receipt of the article. Considering the incorporation of author feedback and possible multiple stages of review, the complete process may take approximately 20–30 days from the date of submission.
Final acceptance is communicated only after the required changes have been incorporated. The Editorial Board retains discretion to reject submissions at any stage of the review process.
