This week (20-26 October) is International Open Access Week.
This year’s theme asks a pointed question about the present moment and how, in a time of disruption, communities can reassert control over the knowledge they produce. It also challenges us to reflect on not only who has access to education and research but on how knowledge is created and shared, where it has come from, and whose voices are recognised and valued.
Committed to the wide and unrestricted dissemination of knowledge, Law, Technology and Humans encourages scholarship that reflects on how technology is changing law, regulation and normative conduct and also how law, regulation and normative conduct effects local and global challenges and opportunities from technological change. Importantly, the journal’s research and scholarship is accessible to all, without paywalls and via best practice in open access practices.
