If you have questions, please contact our Executive Articles Editor, either directly or by sending an email to jtlpuflaw@gmail.com. Use the JTLP Scholastica page link below to submit manuscripts.
Submission Process
-
Submission Dates: We accept submissions of manuscripts twice per year, during the Spring and Fall articles seasons. We cannot review submissions or expedite any reviews during the summer period (late April through July) or the winter period (early November through early January).
-
Electronic Submission: The Journal of Technology Law & Policy accepts email attachment submissions, though submission through Scholastica is highly preferred.
-
Submission Length: The Journal of Technology Law & Policy publishes full-length articles that typically range from approximately 50 to 70 pages, though shorter or longer manuscripts will be considered where the subject matter warrants.
-
Submission Format: Please format your manuscript with double-spaced body text and footnotes rather than endnotes. Citations should conform to the 21st edition of The Bluebook.
-
Author Information: In addition to your manuscript, please provide a cover letter and curriculum vitae that include the following:
a. a short synopsis of your manuscript;
b. a return mailing address;
c. a telephone number;
d. an email address; and
e. a short list of your recently published scholarly work. -
Submission Status: After completion of the review process, we will contact the author regarding the manuscript’s final status. Normally, we inform contributors of the status of their manuscript only at this time. As a matter of policy, we do not discuss the reasons for our publication decisions.
-
Requests for Expedited Review: The Journal of Technology Law & Policy carefully considers all manuscripts that we receive. If you require expedited review of your manuscript because you have a pending offer from another journal, please notify us through Scholastica. In addition, you may request expedited review by email. Please provide the following information: (1) the manuscript’s title, (2) the date when you need an answer, and (3) your email address and telephone number. Although we will make every effort to honor requests for an expedited review, we will not omit any stage of our review process.
-
Prior Publication of Submissions: Although we encourage contributors to concurrently submit their articles to multiple journals, we will not consider manuscripts that are published or under contract to be published in another journal. As a matter of policy, we consider manuscripts available on the internet or through other alternative media outlets as published. Manuscripts circulated as working papers or posted on research repositories (including, without limitation, SSRN) for the purpose of scholarly feedback and discussion shall not be deemed published for purposes of this policy.
Thank you for your interest in the Journal of Technology Law & Policy.
