About Us.Area.
The LAW, SOCIETY & ORGANISATIONS, ISSN–L 2537 – 477X is is a multilingual periodical publishing cutting edge research in the broad field of law, society and organisations scholarship. Rooted in the innovative FRIA (Romanian Foundation for Business Intelligence) actions, LSO explores the intersection of law and sociology, economics, cultural studies, literature, political science, criminology, history, human rights, gender studies and political economy.
The success and popularity enjoyed by Fascicle ”Art, Education and Humanities” in our journal “SEA-Practical Application of Science” (ISSN-L: 2360-2554) from 2013 on, evidenced by the growing volume of articles of law received for publication in the fascicle, led to the separation of a new specialized journal: Law, Society & Organisations.

Dissemination.SEA Conferences.
The selected articles are disseminated in the SEA events series. The SEA (Share. Empower. Awareness.) Conferences aims to bring together academic scientists, business leaders, professionals to exchange and share their creative and innovative ideas, approaches, strategies and research results; discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted. SEA is a friendly conference series that aims to encourage and support early careers researchers.
The SEA conferences have the following aims: to act as an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of research ideas; to promote active collaboration amongst researchers from diverse parent disciplines; to provide a framework in which postgraduate students can see their work in a national context. Our Journal aims to become a prestigious forum for interdisciplinary debate, both at theoretical and practical research addressing relevant issues at national, regional and international level.

Publication Ethics.
It is therefore important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the author, the journal editor, the peer reviewer and the publisher.Data fabrication and falsification. Data fabrication means the researcher did not actually do the study, but made up data. Data falsification means the researcher did the experiment, but then changed some of the data. Both of these practices make people distrust scientists. If the public is mistrustful of science then it will be less willing to provide funding support.
Plagiarism. Taking the ideas and work of others without giving them credit is unfair and dishonest. Copying even one sentence from someone else’s manuscript, or even one of your own that has previously been published, without proper citation is considered plagiarism—use your own words instead. We firmly believe that ethical conduct is the most essential virtual of any academic. Hence any act of plagiarism is a totally unacceptable academic misconduct and cannot be tolerated. Papers that contain any form of plagiarism will be rejected without reviews. Each manuscript proposed will be subjected to a plagiarism review process performed by a member of the Scientific Board (using the tool SafeAssign by Blackboard).
Multiple submissions. It is unethical to submit the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time. Doing this wastes the time of editors and peer reviewers, and can damage the reputation of journals if published in more than one.
Redundant publications. This means publishing many very similar manuscripts based on the same experiment. It can make readers less likely to pay attention to your manuscripts.
Improper author contribution or attribution. All listed authors must have made a significant scientific contribution to the research in the manuscript and approved all its claims. Don’t forget to list everyone who made a significant scientific contribution, including students and laboratory technicians.
