    Advising Faculty on Law Journal Publication Agreements
    (2012) Keele, Benjamin J.
    One of the primary areas of service for academic librarians is faculty support, and one of faculty‘s primary goals is to publish law journal articles. Librarians provide a lot of assistance in the pre-submission phase of an article‘s development — crafting searches, retrieving sources, and compiling statistics. We also help journal staff with cite-checking after an article has been submitted and accepted. An additional service librarians can offer faculty is reviewing journal publication agreements when articles are accepted.

    Copyright Provisions in Law Journal Publication Agreements
    (2010) Keele, Benjamin J.
    Mr. Keele examined copyright provisions of law journal publication agreements and found that a minority of journals ask authors to transfer copyright. Most journals also permit authors to self-archive articles. He recommends journals make their agreements publicly available and use licenses instead of copyright transfers.
