About Merkourios: The Merkourios, a scientific peer-reviewed journal in the field of international and European law published by Urios itself, contains articles written by academics on a specific subject. The commission, together with the commissioner chooses each subject. After the subject has been chosen, authors have to be found who will write an article relating to the subject. Furthermore, a number of other things have to be arranged as well, such as finding sponsors. After everything has been arranged, and the articles are collected, the magazine is brought to the publisher. After printing, the magazine is spread amongst members and libraries. You can find Merkourios on the prestigious digital US database Hein-Online.
