Misuse Website: www.compseconline.com
Original submissions on IT law and security topics are welcomed. Papers that explain developments,
raise and discuss current issues in the field and provide practical advice to the reader will be welcomed.
There is no usual length
for a paper. The editor's policy is to try and accommodate contributions of all sizes where length is determined by the needs of the
subject matter. Occasionally, papers will be published in several parts where this is appropriate. Papers should be submitted, preferably
in Word format, by email wherever possible, to Stephen Saxby at: s.j.saxby@soton.ac.uk. Acrobat PDF files should not be sent as this
format does not permit editing in preparation for publication.
N.B. Papers will be peer reviewed where further advice on content
is considered necessary by the Editor.
All contributions should be in English and, since the readership of the journal is international,
authors are reminded that simple, concise sentences are our preferred style. Technical terms which may be unknown to the readers should
be clearly explained.
Footnotes, rather than Endnotes, should be used to provide a reference. Prudence should be exercised with
the number of footnotes and their length. References should be consecutively numbered throughout the text.
Main headings and the
first sub-heading should be numbered e.g. A. and 1., respectively.
Figures and tables should be supplied separately. Figures should
be good resolution computer-generated graphics or clearly printed black and white line drawings.
The submission should contain the
authors' names, affiliations, and their full mailing addresses in the form in which it should appear on publication. This can be up to
100 words in length. A brief summary paragraph about what the paper is about, should also be included.
When publication takes place,
two copies will be sent to the author(s) by the editor free of charge. Twenty five reprints can also be provided on request. Such requests
should be made in advance of publication to: k.dyer@elsevier.com. Further reprints (minimum order of 100) can be supplied at a reasonable
cost if the request is received before the issue goes to press.
Copyright is retained by the contributor with a licence granted to
Elsevier Science Ltd, to publish in CLSR and to create and maintain an electronic copy at www.compseconline.com. All copyright issues
regarding publication are handled by the Editor.
The submission of a paper normally implies that the author(s) have not already submitted
the article to another publication in the same field. Any issues raised by this can be discussed with the editor at the time of submission.
No problem arises should you wish to place a copy of your article on your firm's website, following publication in CLSR. However, reference
to the publication of the article in CLSR is required.
CLSR is published six times a year. To be considered for publication in a
subsequent issue of the journal, submissions must be sent to the Editor by the first week in January, March, May, July, September and
November respectively.
Papers or abstracts for discussion should be submitted to:
