Contributions may be submitted in the form of Email attachments to: Michael Stokes, or on diskette, preferably in Microsoft Word All submitted articles must have the Submission and Publication Agreement Journal of Law, Information and Science attached. All articles and papers must be submitted in English. All papers published as scholarly or research articles will be refereed by two referees pursuant to a ‘double-blind’ refereeing policy, but papers describing new research projects, technologies and applications will not be refereed except to the extent necessary to ensure that they provide an accurate description of the service or resource which they are describing. The editors retain the right to decide whether any contribution will be considered for publication as a scholarly or research article or as a descriptive paper. The Journal is published in conformity with the Australian Guide to Legal Citation which can be viewed on the internet at: www.law.unimelb.edu.au/mulr/aglc.htm. It would greatly facilitate the publishing process if papers are submitted in this reference style.
