Jindal Law School sets new benchmark as it surpasses top NLUs in research output

Jindal Global Law School (JGLS) at OP Jindal Global University (JGU) continues its pursuit of knowledge, now with a renewed emphasis on interdisciplinarity, states a PTI report.

In 2023, JGLS researchers showcased their commitment by publishing over 175 papers in various Scopus-indexed sources, marking a notable 25% increase from the previous year. Impressively, this output surpassed the combined publications of the top four National Law Schools (NLUs) by over 60%.

The research has been published in some of the top ranking and renowned journals globally, states PTI.

In previous years, JGLS’s faculty members had published highly impactful research in some of the world’s most renowned law journals.

Reflecting on this shift, Prof (Dr) C Raj Kumar, Founding Vice-Chancellor of JGU and Founding Dean of JGLS, said, “It is a strong and well-informed conviction that contemporary global issues require global approaches.

Being global in willing and acting is the founding motto and functional style of JGU. We also strongly feel that limiting oneself to the parochialism of disciplinary loyalty is epistemic injustice, at least in our times. It is with such equitable sentiments that the faculty members of JGLS and JGU engage in interdisciplinary research. There is no disciplinary disloyalty here.

That is to say, instead of breaking their own disciplinary convictions, they have invited expertise from other disciplines in the form of collaborations.
