Distribution of Papers at Conference
| (applicable to presenters whose abstracts have been accepted) |
|
Please note that hard copies of individual papers will also be made available to the audience at the venue where each paper is presented. Neither the USB thumb drive nor the hard copies of individual papers will constitute publication; papers will not thereafter be published by the conference organizers or made available to individuals or libraries.
Presenters will retain copyright of their papers and will be free to submit them for publication elsewhere. No papers may be cited without prior permission from the authors. |
Publication of Selected Papers
|
Selected papers may be considered for publication in the Asian Journal of Comparative Law. Papers will be selected by the editorial teams of the journals and will undergo the usual referreeing process. Neither the conference organizers nor ASLI will be involved in the paper selection process.
Participants who wish to have their papers considered for publication will have to provide the final manuscript (not more than 10,000 words total) to the journal editors by 30 June 2013. This will give contributors one month to incorporate feedback on their papers from their presentations at the conference.
