Questions about who pays when going to print?  The Journals staff don't have to do anything except alert the Journals liaison, Library Director and Library Accountant they are going to print. Sheridan will invoice the Law Library.  Nothing needs to be done on the Journals' end about payment.

Electronic Publication - Digital Commons

Digital Commons:

All UNM SOL student legal journals have been open-access publications since 2009.  In 2017 the journals began publishing electronically through Digital Commons.  See the full list of Law Reviews publishing with Digital Commons. 

Publishing in Digital Commons requires an editor filling out a spreadsheet, and sending the spreadsheet plus the final works and front matter in individual PDF files to their Law Library Journals liaison. Your Journal Liaison will have provided you with a template spreadsheet specific to your Journal in the months before you are ready to publish. Please email your liaison if you need another copy of your particular journal's spreadsheet (they are all different). There are a lot of fields on this spreadsheet you won't need; if you don't have the information and/or have no idea what it is, no worries!  All information will be reviewed before uploaded to Digital Commons.

Digital Commons is a free archiving platform that allows readers to search title, authors, and the full text.  Bonus: it plays well with Google Scholar, which means more readers can find your published articles. 

  • You can also get a glimpse of download counts!
  • You can add supplemental information to an article (i.e. a PDF of a difficult to find citation)
  • You can note errors in publication (errata), and re-publish electronically
