Alternative Law Journal

A new chapter for the Alternative Law Journal

Melissa Castan, Bronwyn Naylor and Deb Candy

We are pleased to inform you that, after more than 40 years of independent publishing, the Alternative Law Journal is turning over a fresh page with a new publishing arrangement.

From 2017, we will be joining Sage Publications which will coordinate the production and delivery of the Journal to you, our readers.

As many of you know, the traditional models of academic publishing face increasing pressures on all fronts: financial, technological and in production.

In evaluating our future in the evolving publishing world, we believe that the Journal required the financial and production support available from a larger organisation.

We have been fortunate in coming to an arrangement with one of the world’s largest academic publishers which will ensure the on-going sustainability of our journal.

Our topical, critical and informative analysis will not change, however the back-of-house production and subscription management will be supported by the expertise and international reach of Sage.

With this new relationship, the AltLJ will be able to process the administration and editing of submissions more efficiently and easily, and provide a global audience for the journal’s articles and commentary.

On a personal note, we are honoured to have been involved over the past decades in the editorial coordination and publication of the AltLJ; it has been wonderful to be part of an incredible community of authors, referees, editors, readers and subscribers who have sustained this unique publication. This community would not have been successful without the commitment of all who have contributed in so many different ways. We are proud of the journal we have all helped to shape, and look forward to your continued involvement.

The editorial team remain committed to bringing you the best in Australian scholarly writing on law reform, human rights, and social justice issues. Many of our readers have been long-standing supporters of the values embedded in our journal, and recognise the important part that it plays in the Australian legal landscape.

We hope you will continue on this journey with us, and support the journal in its next chapter.
