(submission deadline March 1, 2008) and General Issues (rolling submissions) Download the Call for papers Special Issue on Science and the Courts: The University of Ottawa Law & Technology Journal invites original scholarly articles for a special issue on Science and the Courts to be published in 2008. The University of Ottawa Law & Technology Journal (UOLTJ) is an open access, bilingual (English and French), faculty-run, peer-reviewed academic journal devoted to scholarly articles on law and technology. The special issue on Science and the Courts seeks to include a broad range of subject areas and perspectives and seeks representation from authors drawn from science, law (including judges, lawyers, and academics), and related disciplines. Suggested topics include electronic evidence, the role of the expert witness, novel science and the courts, the specialized court, patent litigation, nanotechnology, legal history of science and the courts, product liability, juries and science, DNA, science and mass torts, neutral science advisors to a court, and the interaction between emerging scientific research and legal precedent on cases involving science. The Journal is also open to considering submissions on any other aspect of the intersection between science and the courts. The deadline for submissions is March 1, 2008. General Issues: The Journal also continues to invite submissions of original scholarly articles in English or in French for publication in its peer-reviewed general issues, which will be considered on a rolling basis. For its general issues, the Journal is interested in work on all aspects of the field of law and technology, regardless of the type of technology, substantive area of law at issue, or theoretical or philosophical focus. The Journal considers scholarship on the intersection of law with established or emerging technologies in any field, such as computer, internet and e-commerce law; privacy; intellectual property; technology and ethics; communications, entertainment, and social media; natural sciences; traditional knowledge; evidence; cybercrime; security; internet governance; and e-government. The Journal publishes articles on law and technology written by scholars from a range of disciplines and encourages submissions of interdisciplinary work. All Articles submitted to the Journal are evaluated through a peer review process before being accepted for publication. The Journal publishes two peer-reviewed issues annually and is available both in print and electronic formats. The current and past contents of the UOLTJ are freely available online on the Journal’s websites, in English and en français. The Journal is also carried in HeinOnline, LexisNexis, Westlaw, and LexisNexis Quicklaw, and indexed in the Index to Canadian Legal Literature, the Index to Canadian Intellectual Property Literature, and OpenJ-Gate. In addition, the full-text of the Journal is available on the Social Science Research Network, the Directory of Open Access Journals and the digital collection of the Library and Archives Canada. As a member of Open Access Law Canada, the UOLTJ has made a firm commitment to advancing the free public accessibility of legal information. In addition to publishing in an open access format, the Journal supports the use of free public online sources of legislation and case law by including citations to public online sources. Submission Requirements: The Journal accepts submissions in English or in French. All submissions should be accompanied by a 250-word abstract and a statement by the author that the document submitted is the author’s original work, that the author retains the right to offer it for publication, that neither the article nor a substantially similar version has been previously published or accepted for publication, and that neither the article nor a substantially similar version is under consideration for publication elsewhere. The Journal typically publishes articles in the approximate word range of 10,000 to 15,000 words. The Journal’s publication agreement is available for consultation on the website. The Journal prefers to receive submissions formatted according to the Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation (6th ed. 2006) or the Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (18th ed. 2005), but submissions using alternative legal or scholarly citation styles that provide all necessary bibliographic information and precise pinpoint citations will also be considered.
