A Law and Policy Journal for the (Information) Revolution! For Students: Why Join I/S? New information and communication technologies are transforming our economic, social, and political life. I/S: A Journal of Law and Policy for the Information Society explores that transformation. • • • • • Care about business? We do e-commerce. Care about crime? We explore cybercrime. Care about intellectual property? We care about IP rights in cyberspace. Care about politics? We do e-democracy. Care about national security? We explore cybersecurity and the impact of new technologies on both privacy and civil liberties – as in our 2014 “paper symposium” on the NSA surveillance controversies. Whatever aspect of law, business, or society you care about, we’re interested in how it intersects with the digital world. Each year, I/S stages a major symposium on a hot topic at the intersection of law, policy and information technology. Recent conference topics include: • • • • • • • Online Consultation and Public Policy Making: Democracy, Identity, and New Media (2008) Mashup/Remix (2009) Youth and Social Media (2010) Cybersecurity Policy (2011) The Future of Online Journalism (2012) Competition and Innovation in the Broadband Age (2013) Big Data Future (2014) The selection of I/S articles represents a collaboration between student editors and a distinguished international editorial board including experts and thought leaders both inside and outside the academy. Because the law surrounding new information technologies is mushrooming, lawyers attuned to the regulatory issues surrounding such technologies will have a huge advantage, whether serving in government or counseling clients. Our editors have gone on to significant “information age” legal and business careers, often focused on intellectual property, privacy, or other specialties where new technologies are driving legal change. I/S also has a long-standing relationship with the International Association of Privacy Professionals, whose leadership is committed to facilitating training and education opportunities for students interested in becoming privacy specialists. Do you need a science, engineering, or technological background to be a successful I/S member? No! What you need is intense curiosity about the future and a commitment to helping to publish exciting new scholarship shedding light on that future. For Authors: Why Publish in I/S? I/S is an interdisciplinary journal of research and commentary concentrating on the intersection of law, policy, and information. Among our first decade’s authors are communication scholars, computer scientists, economists, engineers, information scientists, journalists, political scientists, and sociologists, not to mention such leading legal scholars as Michael Froomkin, Gillian Hadfield, Jay Kesan, Ed Lee, Larry Lessig, Beth Noveck, John Palfrey, Pam Samuelson, Rebecca Tushnet, Christopher Yoo, and the journal’s founders, Peter Shane and Peter Swire. We are delighted to receive student-authored submissions, as well as interdisciplinary manuscripts that faculty create in collaboration with their graduate and professional students. I/S publishes three issues a year – typically, a “Symposium Issue,” containing papers arising from the previous term’s I/S conference, an issue devoted to privacy and cybersecurity topics, and an issue containing the best of the unsolicited manuscripts we receive on other topics at the intersection of law, policy, and information, communication and computing technologies. I/S authors keep their own copyrights, extending to I/S a free, perpetual, nonexclusive license to publish and republish their work. I/S is included on both Lexis and Westlaw. I/S is a peer-reviewed journal. Our International Editorial Board includes thought leaders both within and beyond the academy – including a significant contingent of faculty from Carnegie Mellon University, whose public policy school – now part of Heinz College – was a founding co-sponsor of I/S. Authors whose manuscripts are accepted for publication and who choose to publish with I/S receive substantive feedback from members of its distinguished editorial board, as well as our student board’s assistance in polishing final manuscripts. Accepted manuscripts may also be posted as “Works in Progress” on the I/S web site immediately upon agreement to publish with the I/S journal.
