UPES Journal of Law and Technology (UJLT) is a bi-annual law, journal published by the College of Legal Studies, University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun. UJLT is one of the early journals in India specifically devoted to the field of technology law. The journal is designed in a way that it caters to the demands of technology law.
The submissions are selected for publication through a peer-review mechanism comprising of multiple rounds of review. If required, the papers would be put through a refereed process.
The Journal accepts submissions in the form of articles, notes, comments, and book reviews. Since the Journal focuses on the interface between law and technology, submissions should sufficiently have that focus. We are interested in submissions on the law and policy of areas, e.g., but not limited to e-commerce, cybercrime, biotechnology, bioethics, competition, outsourcing, intellectual property. Submissions on social issues posed by technology also fall within our interest.
The Editorial Board invites submissions for Volume 1, Number 1. The Journal follows a rolling submissions policy and the deadline for submission for the forthcoming volume is March 10, 2015. However, since we never reject an otherwise good paper for want of space, the submissions received after this date shall be considered for the next issue. Our Volume 1, Number 1 is devoted to “Law and Technology Perspectives of Intellectual Property Rights”.
