PUBLICATION POLICY
1. Nature
Communications Law in Transition is a
journal of user, reader and contributor
interaction, not of record (official policy and
legislative statements are in any case
hyperlinked). It does not seek to supplant paper
dissemination as authority.
2.
Copyright
The Journal is of inclusive discourse: copyright
constraints are limited to the good academic
practice of non-plagiarism and accreditation.
Articles appearing in IJCLP can be anticipated to
later appear in paper format, where copyright
will rest. In IJCLP, copyright rests with the
author.
3. Review
The Journal encourages innovatory writing, rather
than standardised strictures. It is however
rigorous in its application of reviewing:
recycled and 'reheated' conceptualising will not
be published. It is intended to create an
environment of concentrated innovation which time
constraints render impossible in the paper
environment.
4. Style
The Journal will not permit non-referenced
contributions, or tacitly condone
non-attribution. The editors expressly encourage
hyperlinking to current policy sources.
5.
Immediacy
The editors will endeavour to deliver a
manuscript via review, editing and copyediting in
four to six weeks. This presumes that the
article is delivered initially in publishable
form. All exchange in the publishing cycle will
be undertaken by e-mail to expedite delivery.
Deadlines are therefore one month following the
current issue, for the following issue.
6. Content
The JournaI will contain:
- News Articles
- Articles,
Essays, and Comments
- Surveys of
LawWork-in-Progress
