Journal article submission resources

UT faculty have access to three resources to electronically submit articles to individual or multiple law journals:

SSRN offers eSubmission to UT faculty. To use this service, UT authors can first log on to http://hq.ssrn.com and upload abstracts and papers to the SSRN database. Now authors can select the “eSubmission” icon to submit abstracts and PDF copies of articles to one or more participating journals. When launched, eSubmission had 150 participating journals; 60 more journals are in the process of joining.

Expresso is a product of Berkeley Electronic Press (Bepress). UT authors can log on to http://law.bepress.com/expresso and upload articles, cover letters and CVs. Authors can also chose to submit the article to any of 400 participating journals. While Expresso generally sends journals electronic copies of each article, it will mail print copies to those journals that require paper submissions.

Washington and Lee's Most Cited Legal Periodical List monitors the citation statistics of legal periodicals. The website also maintains a listing of submission information for over 500 journals. This service allows authors to submit articles by email directly and simultaneously to several journals. Authors should first log on to the service at law.wlu.edu/library/research/lawrevs/mostcited.asp and then follow the instructions for “Author Submission Process.”
