About the journal
Condensing essential information into just three issues a year, the Journal of Environmental Law has become an authoritative source of informed analysis for all those who have any dealings in vital field of legal study. The Journal exists for both legal practitioners and academics, but also proves accessible for all other groups concerned with the environment, from scientists to planners. It offers: major articles on a wide variety of topics, refereed and written to the highest standards, providing innovative and authoritative appraisals of current and emerging concepts, policies and practice; a case law section covering a selection of English-language cases from recent months, the judgments are published unless they are very lengthy (but in any case they appear in the on-line version of the journal), and is followed by a detailed analysis. An annual European Case Law section providing full annotation of all cases on environmental issues emanating from the European Court of Justice. It also includes a substantial book reviews section and a materials section reproducing texts of recent legal, or quasi-legal, documents concerning the environment, such as European Directives and technical guidance texts.

INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS
ARTICLES
1 Submission of Articles
Articles should be sent to the Editor in Chief or to either of the Associate Editors. Articles should be around 5000 words in length, though the Journal can accommodate more substantial pieces. The Journal encourages innovative and sustained appraisals of current and emerging concepts, policies and practice in any field of environmental law, whether national, regional or international. Comparative and multidisciplinary approaches are welcomed, though con tributions from any jurisdiction will be considered. Authors are reminded that the Journal has an international circula tion and are therefore encouraged to ensure that the context of the laws are clearly explained (in footnotes where appropriate) to readers who may be unfamiliar with the details of particular national systems. Generally, the Journal avoids articles which are heavily descriptive of new laws and policies unless these have wider significance. The Journal is published three times a year. Because of the need for refereeing and time-scales of production, articles should be in the hands of the Editor at least five months before the issue publication date. Once articles are in proof-form, updating amendments are discouraged, but where law and policy is developing rapidly, it is generally possible to include an appropriate postscipt at a late stage of production. Articles submitted for publication should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
2 Preparation of Articles
Three copies of each transcript should be submitted in hard copy, together with the text on disk and a word count. Pages should be in numbered sequence. The name of the author(s) should appear at the beginning immediately under the title, with an asterisked footnote giving the present position of the author(s) and an address for contact by readers, together with any desired acknowledgements. Scripts and disks will not normally be returned unless special arrange ments have been made. Alternatively, articles can be sent by way of attachment to the UK editorial email address (r.macrory@ucl.ac.uk).
3 Disk Submission
A disk should accompany the transcript. Whilst most computer and word processor disks are accepted, the preferred combinations are either MS-DOS Word and WordPerfect 5.1; WINDOWS Word 6 and WordPerfect 5.2; APPLE MAC Word 5 and WordPerfect 2. If you are using newer versions of the software, before you submit your disk please save the file as either of the above versions.
4 Footnotes and References
Footnotes and references should be numbered consecutively and typed on separate sheets. Literature references should consist of the author's name and initials, year, title of publication (followed by name of publisher, place of publication, and chapter or page number(s) as appropriate or paper (followed by title of Journal, volume, and page number(s). The mode of citation of legal materials (legislation, case-names, law reports, etc.) employed in the system of origin of the article may be used. Authors are responsible for checking the accuracy of all references.
On publication, all footnotes appear at the bottom of each page. Authors are encouraged to use footnotes for the elaboration of text as appropriate, and in particular to explain the context of national laws and policies, bearing in mind the international readership.
5 Tables and Illustrations
Tables should be typed, without vertical lines on a separate sheet with the approximate position in the text indicated by a marginal note. Original graphs and line drawings should be supplied as clear sharp prints suitable for direct reproduction and be drawn in black ink on a white background.
6 Proofs
Authors will receive proofs of their articles for correction, and are asked to return them by the deadline indicated. No major changes can be accomodated at this stage and alterations should be restricted to correction of typographical errors. Where major developments have taken place it is sometimes possible to incorporate postscripts--authors should discuss this with the editor at the time.
7 Copyright and Offprints
It is a condition of publication in the Journal that authors assign copyright to Oxford University Press. This ensures that request from third parties to reproduce articles are handled efficiently and consistently and will also allow the article to be as widely disseminated as possible. In assigning copyright, authors may use their own material in other publications provided that the Journal is acknowledged as the original place of publication, and Oxford University Press is notified in writing and in advance. In consideration for assignment of copyright, the publisher will supply the author with 30 offprints without covers of each paper. Further offprints may be ordered at extra cost when returning proofs. It is the author's responsibility to obtain permission to quote material from copyright sources. |
