Stanford Journal of Law, Science, and Policy Call for Papers
The Stanford Journal of Law, Science, and Policy invites you to submit articles for publication in this new, interdisciplinary journal devoted to bridging the gap between legal and scientific scholarship. The journal is founded on the recognition that the challenges facing today's policy makers are complex for both scientific and legal reasons, and that the search for solutions will require pioneering, cross-disciplinary collaboration. Articles are accepted on a rolling basis. The Spring 2009 issue will contain articles received before February 15th. This online journal publishes original research, essays, and case studies intended for legal, science, and policy audiences. Articles should address critical issues at the intersection of science and law, such as through the application of cutting-edge scientific knowledge to new or existing legal questions, or by addressing the impact of legal concepts on the conduct of science. Appropriate themes includes, but are not limited to, human health, terrestrial and marine conservation, global development and equity, energy and climate change, privacy and ethics of scientific research, environmental justice, and policy approaches to scientific uncertainty. We strongly encourage legal and scientific scholars to collaborate and co-author submissions. * For legal and policy scholars, publishing in this journal provides an opportunity to work with scientific experts and ground their work in the most up-to-date science. * For scientists, the journal allows communication of cutting-edge scientific research directly to the policy community in a format not available anywhere else. The Journal provides an outlet for scientists to develop the conclusions from their scientific papers into robust discussions for policymakers.
