Thank you for your interest in contributing to the King\u2019s Student Law Review (KSLR) Forum. We accept submissions on a rolling basis. Please\u00a0read the following guidelines before submitting an article to us.<\/p>\n
Anyone! We welcome submissions from every level of legal study and practice. All\u00a0submissions are assessed on their merit alone and subject to a double-blind peer-review process.<\/p>\n
The KSLR is an inclusive space and, since KSLR Forum articles are shorter than KSLR Journal papers, it is an ideal forum for your first academic publication. We particularly welcome submissions from:<\/p>\n
The KSLR Forum is not<\/u> a blog: we do not consider opinion pieces or articles which are journalistic, rather than academic, in style. To this end, we consider,\u00a0inter alia<\/em>:<\/p>\n Areas of Law<\/strong><\/p>\n Your article should be relevant to our readership which is wide since King\u2019s is a diverse institution with a global outlook.<\/p>\n However, there is naturally an emphasis on topics of relevance to those studying and working in the UK. Consequently,we are usually unable to accept submissions focussed mainly on non-UK or non-EU jurisdictions unless<\/u> the piece has a substantial comparative element to UK or EU law. <\/strong>Here, \u2018substantial\u2019 means there must be equal analysis of both jurisdictions.<\/p>\n Submissions pertaining to international law must be in keeping with the specialisms of The Dickson Poon School of Law, King\u2019s College London. Examples include, but are not limited to, international commercial law and international human rights law.<\/p>\n If you are uncertain as to whether your subject area fits our submission guidance please ask advice from kslr.forum@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n Length: <\/strong>500-1,500 words. Submissions longer than 1,800 words will\u00a0not\u00a0<\/u>be considered – please submit longer articles to the KSLR Journal (calls for papers will be advertised on the website and Twitter @KCLSLR).<\/p>\n Referencing:\u00a0<\/strong>Any online open access sources must be referenced using in-text hyperlinks instead of OSCOLA footnotes (but only to legal or respected news sources and the editors make the final decision as to what constitutes a respectable source). If sources are neither online nor open access, please reference using OSCOLA footnotes in the usual way. Please use single quotation marks (not double) and italicise Latin words and phrases.<\/p>\n Clarity:\u00a0<\/strong>Posts should be clear and concise and be written in the style of legal academic scholarship. We do not publish journalistic blog or opinion pieces.<\/p>\n Title:\u00a0<\/strong>Posts should have informative titles. (This facilitates search engines to ensure your article reaches as wide an audience as possible.)<\/p>\n Originality:<\/strong> Posts should reflect original, unpublished work. They should not have been published, or be under consideration for publication, elsewhere.<\/p>\n Coursework: <\/strong>We have a strong presumption against publishing material based on coursework where it concerns cases or questions already extensively analysed in the literature. An exception would be made for genuinely new analysis or argument.<\/p>\n Style:<\/strong> Please refer to the style guidance<\/a> on the Journal submissions page for guidance on UK spelling, formatting and use of\u00a0 UK English.<\/p>\n Cross-posting:<\/strong> Cross-posting or publication on other platforms is permissible only:<\/p>\n We\u2019d be delighted to receive your submission!<\/p>\n Please email submissions to\u00a0kslr.forum@gmail.com<\/a>, and include in the subject line your article\u2019s title. In the text of the email, please include:<\/p>\n Note:<\/u> Please do not send abstracts or proposals, as we will not be able to tell from this whether your post meets the Forum\u2019s requirements.<\/p>\n The Editors may, in their absolute discretion, waive any of the above rules or amend this process.<\/p>\n We pride ourselves on the high quality of our Forum articles and will not publish a post if we are not satisfied that it is of sufficiently high quality, both in terms of presentation and argument. If you feel unable to accept the Editor\u2019s proposals after discussion, or do not wish to participate in the editorial process, then you are free to withdraw your submission.<\/p>\n The KSLR is run by postgraduate researchers at King\u2019s College London. We rely on the expertise of our Reviewers who are PhD researchers and, as such, responses may take longer at times, eg during the marking season. Otherwise, the above represents maximum timescales and we aim to minimise this, particularly where a post covers a very recent or urgent issue. The Editors will communicate timescales to authors in a timely fashion.<\/p>\n The KSLR Forum aims to stimulate dialogue and debate, so once your post is published please watch for comments and enter into the discussion. To expand your readership, we also encourage you to share your post with colleagues through email and social media sites.<\/p>\n By submitting a post to the Forum, the Contributor guarantees that the post is a product of their work and is unpublished. Contributors also permit the KSLR Forum to use their post, with full attribution but without further consent, on a non-commercial basis in online and offline publications.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thank you for your interest in contributing to the King\u2019s Student Law Review (KSLR) Forum.
