Submission Guidelines
ASCE encourages the submission of scholarly and practice-oriented articles to its journals. Before you submit an article, please review the scope statements for ASCE's journals on the journals home pages, to ensure that you are submitting your work to the journal that is best suited for it. Then, consult our resources for authors, especially the sections about types of journal content, length of journal submissions, and manuscript preparation.
Manuscript Submission:
Until the Online Submission System is launched on October 6, 2008, please submit manuscripts and articles to Journal Submissions; include name of the journal in the subject line.
New Online Submission System (COMING OCTOBER 6, 2008)
The Journal of Legal Affairs and Dispute Resolution in Engineering and Construction accepts submissions online through Editorial Manager. With Editorial Manager, authors can submit manuscripts to the journal via the Internet and have their manuscripts reviewed online. Reviewers will also be able to review manuscripts and submit their comments online.
Access Editorial Manager to register as a new user, view the author's tutorial, review submission requirements, log onto the system, and submit papers, technical notes, discussions, and closures.
Online submission of all new manuscripts to the Journal of Legal Affairs and Dispute Resolution in Engineering and Construction is required. Manuscripts that arrive via e-mail or postal mail will not be processed. The authors will be contacted and asked to submit their manuscripts online instead.
Papers under review, accepted for publication, or published elsewhere should not be submitted and will not be considered.
