Publication Procedures

The Villanova Journal of Law and Investment Management encourages contributions from lawyers, regulators, academics and others on any aspect of the law of investment management. The Journal seeks articles that make original contributions to the literature in the field. The editors also value highly thoroughness of research and clarity of expression.

The Journal is a peer-reviewed publication. The editors rely on the recommendations of peer reviewers in making all publication decisions. Because the Journal is peer-reviewed, potential contributors must provide the Journal with the exclusive right of publication. Papers previously published or under review by other journals are unacceptable. Articles adapted from book-length works-in-progress will be considered under acceptable copyright arrangements.

All textual material — including notes and references — must be double-spaced. All pages must be numbered. Notes and references should be placed separately, double-spaced, as endnotes.

Within the article, use short subheadings for organization and emphasis. Include a cover page with title, author’s address and affiliations, mailing address, e-mail address, and phone and fax numbers. To ensure anonymity in the review process, the first page of the text should show only the title of the submission.

Articles should be submitted to the Editor either as e-mail attachments or on 3½" floppy diskettes. The file should be in Microsoft Word, WordPerfect or ASCII. Artwork, including tables, charts, and graphs, must be of camera-ready quality. Each should be on a separate page and mailed to the Editor. Proper placement for all artwork must be indicated within text (e.g., "Insert Table 2 here").

Once an article has been formally accepted, the author must submit an abstract of 125 to 150 words and a biographical statement of 50 words or less. Copyright is retained by the Journal, and articles are subject to editorial revision. Permission for reprint is liberally given. There is no payment for articles. Manuscripts not accepted for publication are not returned. Authors should keep a copy of any submission for their files.

Manuscript submissions and inquiries should be directed to:
