The European Journal of Privacy Law & Technologies (EJPLT) is a European Law Journal awarded Class A status by ANVUR, in Open Access Diamond, focused on law and technology and, specifically, on that between privacy law and technology's development.
Preliminary requirements for the submission of a contribution to the Journal
The Journal does not publish contributions that have already been published in other journals, and, in any case, it does not publish papers without footnotes and adequate scientific content, innovation concerning the state of the art and well-defined methodology. A double-blind peer review process is provided for articles, comments on decisions, use case, focus papers and project deliverables sent to the Journal.
To ensure a minimum scientific quality of the contributions, authors wishing to submit a contribution to the journal must have at least a Ph.D. (c) title.
Authors who submit a contribution for the first time to the Journal are asked to send their CVs and the link to the official personal academic web page of the university to which they belong. This is necessary for the verification of the authors' identities. Ph.D. candidates, Ph.D. holders, post-doctoral fellows and early-career researchers have to submit a letter of presentation from their academic supervisor in order to give more details on the contribution submitted.
To preserve the double-blind review, CVs, web-page links and presentation letters are used only to verify the Authors' identities and are not shared with the Referees, and the manuscript itself must not contain the Author's name, affiliation, acknowledgements or other identifying information (including in the file properties), which must be provided in a separate cover page. Personal data are processed in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).
