OSI Supported Call for Papers – IJCLP ISSUE on Access to Knowledge

The Yale Law School Information Society Project (ISP) and the International Journal of Communications Law & Policy (IJCLP) are pleased to announce a special call for papers supported through a grant from the Open Society Institute (OSI), in conjunction with the Access to Knowledge (A2K) Conference taking place on April 21-23, 2006 at Yale Law School.

The OSI has kindly agreed to support the IJCLP to attract contributions for its Special Fall 2006 Issue on A2K, from those countries listed as developing and transition countries. The complete list of countries included in this call is available at http://www.soros.org/openaccess/grants-available.shtml#countries . We invite authors resident in any of these countries to submit papers to the journal in response to our latest call for papers and writing competition on A2K (see http://www.ijclp.org ). Any paper selected for publication will receive financial support from our OSI grant. Such support shall include a small stipend to each author in addition to free editorial processing by the Journal. Please note that authors who submit papers for this call are also eligible for the writing competition awards.

Submissions for publication under the terms of this OSI grant must be received at the latest by noon EST, May 1st, 2006. Papers may be submitted on any A2K-related issue, provided that they lie within the central focus of the IJCLP – communications law & policy. All submissions should be written in English in .rtf or .pdf format. They should conform to academic citation standards, be no longer than 25,000 words, and include an abstract of up to 250 words. Submissions should be e-mailed simultaneously to the lead editors of the IJCLP, Simone Francesco Bonetti (simo.bonetti [at] tiscalinet [dot] it) and Sudhir Krishnaswamy (krishnaswamysudhir [at] gmail [dot] com). Inquiries may be addressed to any of the above.
