European University of Law and
Administration Quarterly Journal

Scope and purpose of the journal

The quarterly journal EL&IRR publishes primarily peer-reviewed double-blind review scholarlyarticles and glosses. The research focus is on legal sciences (including the philosophy of law and European Union law), political sciences and administration, international relations, security sciences, sociological sciences, social communication sciences and media, as well as interdisciplinary (and broadly conceived) European studies. The most important premise of the periodical is the development of scientific discourse in both theoretical and methodological aspects. The results of the authors' analyses take into account local or regional research perspectives as well as (sometimes complex) legal, socio-cultural or historical contexts. In addition to peer-reviewed scientific articles and glosses, EL&IRR also publishes non-peer-reviewed texts, including review essays and shorter reviews (of monographs, journals, online editions, etc.), introductions (e.g. in special issues), reports, summaries, notes.

The EL&IRR publishes contributions written mainly in Polish and English (occasionally also in French and Russian). For several years, the number of authors and reviewers coming from foreign universities has been steadily increasing. A number of non-Polish scientists have also become members of the EL&IRR Scientific Council. In addition, the international reach of the quarterly is to be enhanced by a steady increase in the number of articles written in English.

The periodical is devoted to studies in:

1. Legal sciences (law according to the OECD classification)
2.  International Relations (other social sciences according to the OECD classification)
3.  Security Studies (other social sciences according to the OECD classification
4.  Political science and administration (OECD classification for political science)
5. Social sciences (sociology according to the OECD classification)
6.  Social sciences and media (media and communications according to the OECD classification)
7.  Canon law (OECD classification for law)
8. Management and quality sciences (economics and management according to the OECD classification)

In addition to articles, glosses, reviews of scientific publications that fall within the journal's profile (including review essays), reports of scientific conferences and other events in the life of the EULA University are also published.

Specificity of the periodical

What sets the EL&IRR apart is its multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity - stimulating the search for links between the social sciences - which reflect the University's changing and enriched profile over the years.
