Call for Blogs for The Indian Journal of Law & Technology; Submission on Rolling Basis

About the Blog

IJLT is the first and only law journal in India devoted exclusively to the study of the interface between law and technology. The Journal as per its mandate places an emphasis on a developing country perspective or a comparative approach that benefits the developing world. To enable us to respond to current events with the immediacy that they require, the IJLT Blog was launched as a companion to the print journal. The mandate of the IJLT Blog, much like the Journal, is to provide current, incisive, and accessible legal scholarship on contemporary issues in the law and technology domain.

Submission Guidelines

1. The IJLT Blog invites contributions in the following categories:

• Responses to articles previously published in the print journal or on the IJLT Blog
• Comments on contemporary legal developments – including topical issues, recent judgments, and legislative changes.
• Book reviews engaging with recent literary works

2. 2. Articles must be between 1,500-2,500 words. This is flexible, based on the quality of the piece. We are keen to include tables, charts, and relevant figures where appropriate.
   3. We use links rather than citations for references. Links should direct readers to more detailed reports or other pieces of research, news items or other blog posts. Open access sources are preferable compared to those behind paywalls. Please insert a hyperlink at the relevant point of your argument that you’d like to reference (using ctrl-K in Word). Substantial footnoting is permitted, but to be used sparingly.
   4. A blog post may be co-authored by a maximum of 2 people.
   5. Authors must ensure that their chosen theme/arguments have not already been substantially covered in past articles or contemporary discourse. However, this does not apply to responses or differing perspectives on existing content.
   6. All manuscripts submitted to the IJLT Blog must be original and must not have been published elsewhere.
   7. In the event that a manuscript submitted to the IJLT Blog has been submitted and accepted by any other journal or blog, the author must withdraw their submission from IJLT. If the IJLT Blog accepts the manuscript first, the author must withdraw it for consideration from all other journals or blogs. Failure to do so will lead to the removal of the piece from consideration for publication in IJLT Blog.
