Sydney Law Review moves to the Sydney Open Journals platform

Authors' research will now be published with a DOI, making it more visible and discoverable. The platform will also have an easy way for authors to connect their published research to their ORCID profile.

For readers and researchers, the platform introduces new ways to access journal content.

Alongside the ability to search by author and keyword, readers can browse issues, advance content, and the collections of 'Before the High Court' columns and review essays.

Readers can also sign up to be notified when new content is released.

Professor Kimberlee Weatherall and Associate Professor Jacqueline Mowbray, General Editors of the Sydney Law Review, are excited about the prospects the new platform brings.

"We're excited to be giving one of Australia's leading journals for legal scholarship a greater online presence," the editors said.

"The research that we publish has always been open access, because more than anything, it's important that the work we publish is able to be read by other scholars, members of the legal profession, and interested members of the public.

"But now we have a 'home of our own' for our articles and back issues, and where people can come to read legal research, and our unique contributions like our 'Before the High Court' column."

The new website currently hosts all content published since 2018, with additional back issues to be added in time.

The full back-set of issues dating from the journal's inception in 1953 will remain accessible on AustLII.
