Guide for authors

Submissions

The review seeks and encourages original submissions from lawyers, academics, scientists and technicians; students in relation to postgraduate degree work and versions of dissertations, where the student has passed the relevant course and the dissertation has been marked. The IT industry, certification authorities, registration authorities and suppliers of software and hardware are also encouraged to engage in the debate by submitting articles and items of news.

Length of article can vary. There is no fixed length. The aim is to publish articles of good quality that add to the debate and knowledge of readers, discuss recent developments and offer practical advice. All articles will be in English, and contributors are requested to write using shorter, rather than longer sentences, because the audience is international.

Submissions should be sent as an attachment to an e-mail addressed to submissions@pariocommunications.co.uk. All papers are peer reviewed.

Style

Submissions should be in word format, preferably Times New Roman font, size 12, with an interval of 1.5 between each line. Please indicate the level of headings by placing the level in brackets after each heading, as follows: Main heading (A or 1), First sub-heading (B or 2), Second sub-heading (C or 3).

Please refrain from using any Latin tags. Please only use Latin where no other words will suffice. This is because Latin is not used in some jurisdictions, and the Latin used in one legal system is often different from the Latin used in another legal system. The author should include a brief summary about the content of the paper. Where references are included, please use footnotes. Do not use endnotes. Try to keep notes to a minimum.

Acknowledgement

The contact details of the author should be included in the submission (name, qualifications, name of firm, company or university, full mailing address, web address), plus a brief biography demonstrating expertise and experience of up to but no more than 50 words in length.

Where the author subsequently publishes the article, the author is requested to acknowledge the article first appeared in the review, in whatever format it is subsequently published.

The usual rights of editorial control exist with the publisher.
