Originality and Exclusivity

The Ottawa Law Review publishes only original material, meaning that a substantially similar version of the work has not been previously published. Authors must inform the Ottawa Law Review if their submissions relate to any prior work. Additionally, the Ottawa Law Review only considers exclusively submitted material that is not simultaneously under consideration by any other publication.

Plagiarism

It is the author’s responsibility to comply with the University of Ottawa’s policy on academic fraud. The Ottawa Law Review strictly adheres to this policy.

Anonymity

The Ottawa Law Review considers submissions anonymously, without regard to the author’s identity, institutional affiliation, prior publications, credentials, or previous submissions. To facilitate an anonymous peer-review process, no identifying information may appear in the submission, including credentials, biographical information, acknowledgements, or references/citations to the author’s previous works, that may identify him or her as the author of the submission. The Editors-in-Chief (Articles) and Submissions Manager are the only members of the Editorial Board who has knowledge of the identity of the author. Neither the assessors nor the other Editorial Board members have knowledge of the author’s identity during the evaluation process.
