Distribution of Papers at Conference

Please note that prior to the conference; the organizers will put the papers on a USB thumb drive. A USB thumb drive will be made available to each delegate. 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 nor made available to individuals or libraries.
Presenters will retain copyright in 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 from the subthemes may be considered for publication in special issues of 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 2011. This will give contributors one month to incorporate feedback on their papers from their presentations at the conference.
