Certificate Policy

At The LexOcta Chronicle, we believe in empowering law students, young professionals, and legal thinkers by offering them a platform to publish their original work and build a professional identity through writing and research.

To promote this mission, we proudly issue E-Certificates for all publications—whether in our peer-reviewed Journal Section or our accessible Blog Section.

Certificate of Publication (Journal Articles)

Contributors who publish their research papers or articles in our Journal Section receive a Certificate of Publication acknowledging their scholarly contribution to legal academia.

This certificate:

  • Adds value to your resume and academic profile

  • Enhances credibility for internships, higher education, or jobs

  • Proves your ability in legal research and analytical writing

To sustain the quality of publication, peer review, plagiarism checks, and to maintain our open-access platform, we charge a nominal publication fee:

  • Single Author: ₹500

  • Co-authored (Max 2 authors): ₹750

Certificate of Blog Publication (Blog Contributions)

We also publish short-form, accessible, and insightful blogs under our Blog Section to promote legal awareness and simplified legal writing.

Every accepted blog receives a Certificate of Blog Publication, recognizing your efforts in contributing to public legal knowledge.

This is ideal for:

  • Students beginning their legal writing journey

  • Building an online writing portfolio

  • Developing legal fluency in real-world issues

Publication Charges for Blogs:

  • Single Author: ₹200

  • Co-authored: ₹300

Why Do We Charge?

The LexOcta Chronicle is a completely open-access platform—anyone, anywhere, can access and read your work without restriction or subscription.

To maintain this accessibility and cover our core operational costs, we charge only a minimal fee. These costs include:

  • Website hosting and maintenance

  • Editorial and peer review process

  • Plagiarism and AI-detection tools

  • Designing and issuing publication certificates

We do not profit from this fee—our goal is to sustain a high-quality, accessible platform for future legal professionals.

Key Points:

  • Certificates are digitally signed and emailed within 7 working days after publication.

  • All published content remains open for public access, increasing your visibility and citations.

  • This policy is part of our larger vision to encourage legal writing and build a culture of research.

Your words matter. Your research matters.
At The LexOcta Chronicle, we help you put both to work.
