Online Publishing Resources for Faculty Scholarship

  • Social Science Research Network (SSRN):
    SSRN is a service which includes the Legal Scholarship Network (LSN), which allows access to working papers and abstracts of articles accepted for publication.
  • NELLCO Legal Scholarship Repository: BePress and Nellco Legal Scholarship Repository offer a service similar to SSRN, on a more local level. Post PDF versions of published articles where you have retained copyright permissions, as well as working papers.
  • ExpressO:
    Submit to multiple scholarly law journals at the same time. Go to ExpressO and select "start your submission." Please note there are a few law reviews that still require hardcopy or submission via their own website, but these are clearly indicated. There is an 2007 instruction guide on the ExpressO website. If you need futher assistance, Pat Gresham and her staff, or a reference librarian, should be able to help.
  • Other Resources for Submitting to Law Reviews
    The Salmon P. Chase College of Law and the Most-Cited Legal Periodicals: US and non-US list are sites that make it easy to email multiple law reviews which accept submissions as email attachments.
    LexOpus is a service which allows faculty to submit an article for publication to a prioritized list of journals, giving each an exclusive time period to accept or reject the article until the time period has passes or the author withdraws the article. Unlike ExpressO, which permit multiple submissions at once, LexOpus is a targeted approach to a set number of journals for a set period of time.
