Submission Requirements

     ISSUE 13 Volume 2

SUBMISSIONS OPEN: January 19 2024 SUBMISSIONS DEADLINE: March 1 2024

ALL submissions must be sent to:  [email protected]

Before submitting your work to the Law Review, read the following requirements carefully.

These dates are subject to a 1-week grace period, to be used as an extension for late submissions. Any essays submitted during the grace period will be fairly considered and reviewed, however timely articles will be given priority for publication.

Editing is conducted on a rolling basis, so the lineup of submissions may already be finalised by the time a late submission is received.   If the lineup of articles is full but a late submission is deemed worthy of publication, it will be deferred to the next volume.

Author Eligibility

Any student at the University of Leicester can submit a paper to be published, as long as the content touches on legal matters. You  do not  need to be a law student.

Authors must make sure that their submissions meet all the requirements and is submitted by the deadline. 

This year, we will also be accepting joint papers, which means students may co-author research essays with their peers.  

The Law Review considers for publication articles written on ANY topic, provided they contain some aspect of the law. Interdisciplinary papers combined with legal study, such as Medico-legal or literary approaches to legal study, are acceptable.

Submissions can be in first person or third person voice, but must always maintain a professional academic tone. This means that submissions cannot be opinion columns, blog-type pieces, or personal reflections. 

All submissions will be thoroughly reviewed and subjected to intensive database testing to ensure that there is no plagiarism at work. The University has a strict no-plagiarism or collusion policy and we intend to enforce this. Any essay that is improperly cited or blatantly plagiarised will be discarded for violating academic integrity.

" Plagiarism : Plagiarism is used as a general term to describe taking and using another’s thoughts and writings as one’s own.  Plagiarism can occur not only in essays and dissertations, but also in scientific experimentation, diagrams, maps, fieldwork, computer programmes, and all other forms of study where you are expected to work independently and produce original material.

Collusion : Collusion is the active cooperation of two or more students to deceive examiners in one of the ways set out in the Regulations governing Student Discipline. You will be guilty of collusion if you knowingly allow any of your academic work to be acquired by another person for presentation as if it were that person’s own work.  If you offer to provide work to another student to be passed off as their own you are guilty of collusion."

(Source: Student and Academic Services UoL - https://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/sas2/assessments/plagiarism )

Editing Process

After the submission deadline, article writers are made to be anonymous. The articles will be evaluated by their content, their relevance of context, and the quality of references and information. All articles will be reviewed by the panel of editors and a number will be shortlisted for publication. All shortlisted articles receive edits and suggestions made by the panel.

For help with formatting your long document, please contact the  E-tuts  team.

• Masters Thesis Submissions
• Higher Research Degree Submissions

Deposit your thesis

Final version.

The final version of your thesis must be submitted in PDF format to the University’s research repository,  Research Commons .

• Digital Thesis Deposit Guide
• Deposit your Higher Degree thesis

When you follow the link to the deposit form, you will be asked to sign in to Research Commons. You  must  choose the “Waikato log in" option. You may then be asked to log in using the University of Waikato Single sign-in.

It is easier if you upload your thesis file first, before continuing to fill out the form.

• Use "Save" to save your progress while keeping the form open.
• Use "Save for later" if you wish to come back to the form another time. You'll be able to access your incomplete deposit after logging in to Research Commons using the "Waikato log in" option.
• Use the green "Deposit" button to complete your deposit.
• You will be warned about any missing required fields.
• Before finalising your submission, you  must  accept the Declaration and Conditions of use.

After Submission

Once submitted, your thesis does not go live immediately.

• For doctoral theses , the School of Graduate Research will check that you have completed the requirements for the Degree and then release the thesis to the public via the Research Commons (unless an embargo has been applied)
• For Masters theses , the Student Centre will check that you have completed the requirements for the Masters thesis and then release the thesis to the public via the Research Commons (unless an embargo has been applied)
• Following this step, you will receive an automated notification from Research Commons
• The full text will be openly available in Research Commons with a unique, permanent URL
• A description will appear in Library Search with a link to the thesis in Research Commons
• Your thesis will be indexed and available through search engines (such as Google Scholar)
• If you have applied for, and been granted an embargo, the thesis and associated metadata will not be made publicly available until the embargo has been lifted

Embargoes on theses

As freedom to exchange ideas and to publish acquired knowledge are fundamental to the purposes of a university, restrictions on freedom of access to dissertations and theses are acceptable only in limited circumstances. Embargoes on access to dissertations and theses require the written approval of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research.

The only grounds under which an embargo of a thesis or dissertation is likely to be approved, and even then for only a limited period, are:

• If it is pending publication;
• If it is pending the filing of a patent;
• To allow for a sponsor of the research to comment;
• To protect pre-existing commercial secrets of a sponsor;
• If there is a pre-existing contractual obligation;
• If restriction is necessary under the Privacy Act 1993 or the Official Information Act 1982.

If you wish to apply for an embargo you must apply as soon as possible using this form:

Application to Embargo / Restrict a Thesis .

Thesis with Publications

Including published journal articles.

If your thesis contains previously published journal articles, it's important to check the author agreement with the publisher to determine what versions of the articles can be included in Research Commons:

1. Published Version

Check if the publisher allows uploading of the published version online.

2. Author Accepted Manuscript

Determine if the publisher permits uploading of the "author accepted manuscript," which is the post-refereed, pre-published version of the article.

Find out if the publisher has placed an embargo on the author accepted manuscript. Many open access versions of papers have a 12- or 24-month embargo period before they can be made public.

Options Available:

• Omit the chapter/article from the online public version of your thesis if necessary.
• Replace the chapter/article with a redirection link to the published article or its open access version.
• Make the author accepted version of a published paper available on Research Commons.

During Submission

What's Next?

A thesis or parts of a thesis are often subsequently published either as journal articles or as books. For more information or advice on publishing, check out the following:

Graduate School

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation (ETD) Submission Instructions

Graduate students completing a thesis or dissertation must submit the final version of their document to the Graduate School. The final version is the document that has been approved by each of your committee members after all required post-defense edits have been made. The final version must also conform to the Graduate School's formatting requirements.  

Before You Begin

DO NOT wait until the last minute to submit your ETD. As with many things (such as writing your thesis or dissertation!), the process will take longer than you think. Also, there may be heavy traffic on the submission website near submission deadlines. Deadlines for submission for each term are available on our website . 

The ETD site for Portland State University is available through ProQuest's ETD Administrator website. When you access the site the first time you will be required to create an account; click on the button titled Sign up and get started today!  and then choose Portland State University from the list. Keep track of your username and password - you will almost certainly need to access the site more than once during the ETD process.

Once you establish an account, you will receive a email from the ProQuest ETD system (this email, and others generated from the ProQuest ETD system, may get caught in your spam filter, so please watch for this). Use the link provided in the email to confirm your account. Once you confirm your account you will be taken to the Submit my ETD page of the ProQuest ETD Administrator website. We would suggest you explore the entire site in advance; the submission steps are detailed on the left-hand menu. We also suggest you review all of these submission instructions in advance.

You will be asked to make decisions about traditional versus open access publishing as well as copyrighting your work. We suggest you review these materials in advance (view ETD publishing options and copyright information ) so that you can make these decisions by the time you are ready to submit. If you choose traditional publishing there is no charge; if you choose open access publishing there is a $95 fee. If you choose to file for copyright there is a $75 fee. Have your credit card ready when you make your final submission.

If you would like to purchase additional copies of your thesis/dissertation for yourself, you may order bound copies through ProQuest (Order copies page), or through any other service that does book binding.   

Submitting Your ETD

From the Submit my ETD page on the ProQuest ETD Administrator website, the submission steps are outlined on the left-hand menu. You will see the items checked off as you progress through the submission steps. You must click "Save & Continue" at the bottom of each page, even pages on which you do not enter any information (e.g. the Instructions page, the Supplemental files page, etc.). Using the left-hand menu, you can return to any page and make changes until the point of final submission (make sure you save the changes at the bottom of the page).

Instructions page

• Before you begin the submission process, review the notes on this page about the information you should have ready.
• If you start the submission process but are not able to complete it in a single session, you can save your information and come back later to finish. Just remember to click "Save & Continue" as you enter information on each page.

Publishing Options page

• See the ETD Publishing Options for information about your ProQuest and PSU Library options.
• If you choose Open Access Service, you will have to pay the $95 Open Access Service fee.
• You may choose no search engine access at your discretion.
• You may choose a 6-month or 1-year embargo at your discretion. You must have advance permission from the Graduate School to select the 2-year embargo.
• After you have selected your publishing options, click Save & Continue at the bottom of the page. You will be taken to the detailed publishing agreement for the publishing option you chose. You will need to click Accept at the bottom of the page.

Contact Information page

• The form of your name that you use on this page must match the form of your name as listed on the Title page of your ETD (see the ETD Formatting Requirements for more information).
• The email address you enter is the email address that will automatically be used for communications during the format review process, so make sure it is one you check regularly.  
• PSU or ProQuest may need to contact you weeks or months after your submission, so please think carefully about your permanent email address and permanent mailing address. 

Dissertation/Thesis Details page

• The Title provided must exactly match the title on the Title page of your thesis/dissertation, including punctuation.
• The Adviser/Committee Chair section allows for two entries. Only enter one name in this section. If you are a doctoral student who has an approved Co-Chair, enter both the Chair and Co-Chair names in this section.
• Keywords - these are used to create the appropriate Library of Congress subject headings for your thesis/dissertation. You must enter at least one keyword.
• Abstract - your entire Abstract will be entered here. You can copy and paste your abstract into the box without formatting it. For the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses database, ProQuest will format your abstract using the formatting that is in the abstract of your PDF submission. As a reminder, keywords should not be added to the Abstract in the dissertation itself or in the ETD Administrator Abstract field. They should only be added in the Keywords section as indicated in the previous bullet point.
• The ETD that you submit must be a PDF file. If you are using MS Word or RTF format, the ETD Administrator can convert your manuscript to PDF for you. The PDF Conversion tool also ensure your fonts are properly embedded. When you upload the file, the ETD Administrator will recognize if you are uploading a MS Word or RTF format document and will automatically complete a two-step process that includes first uploading the file and then converting it to PDF. The process takes a few minutes. Larger documents, such as those that contain many high resolution images, can take 30 minutes (or more) to convert or upload. After the conversion is complete, we recommend that you save a copy of the PDF file for your records.
• Fonts must be properly embedded in the document. Information on embedding fonts is available in the ProQuest "Preparing Your Manuscript for Submission" PDF . 
• If you are using LaTeX, you cannot use the PDF Conversion tool. From the Creating PDFs page , scroll down to the instructions for converting LaTeX files to PDFs.
• After uploading, review your PDF to ensure the formatting remained as you intended.
• If you have copyright permission documents that are not included in your dissertation/thesis file, you must submit them separately. Copyright permission documents are required by ProQuest if you are republishing another's work (either in full or in part) in your dissertation.

Supplemental Files (optional) page

• Use this page only if you are including supplemental files - e.g., video files, audio files, large spreadsheets, etc.
• Supplemental files must be submitted using acceptable file types;  information on supplemental files is available here .
• Be sure to click "Save & Continue" at the bottom of the page even if you do not add a supplementary file.

Notes (optional) page

• Use this page if there is a short message you would like to send to the person in the Graduate School who will review your ETD.
• Be sure to click "Save & Continue" at the bottom of the page even if you do not add a note.

Register U.S. Copyright page

• If you have not already done so, read the ProQuest information about copyrighting your thesis/dissertation .
• In order to have ProQuest file for copyright on your behalf, you must be the sole author of the dissertation or thesis. If you acknowledge any co-authors or co-claimants of your work, you will not be able to file for copyright with your ETD submission. Please review examples of manuscripts rejected for not being written by a sole author .
• If you choose to register your copyright, you will have to pay the $75 fee.

Order Copies page

• If you would like to order bound copies from ProQuest, enter your order information on this page. Alternatively, you can order bound copies through any service that does bookbinding. 

Submit & Pay: Credit Card page

• When you click the Submit Dissertation/Thesis & Pay button at the bottom of the page, your submission will be complete. Do not make this step until you are sure you are ready to submit.

After your final submission, you will receive an automated confirmation email within minutes. (This email may be caught in your spam filter.) The Graduate School will contact you after we have audited your thesis/dissertation and/or if we have any questions about your submission.

After You Submit Your ETD

Keep your original Word document! Back it up in more than one location! If revisions are needed, it is much easier to revise the Word document, then reconvert it to a PDF, than it would be to modify the PDF.

Check your email!  The results of your format review will be sent to the email address you entered in your ProQuest ETD Administrator profile. This email address is also where we will contact you when your graduation has been processed. Note that we cannot change the email address in your ETD Administrator profile to send it to a different email address. If you have questions about receiving format review emails, please contact us at [email protected] .

Students often need to make formatting revisions after initial submission of their final thesis or dissertation to the Graduate School. If you have met the Thesis/Dissertation Submission deadline for your intended term of graduation, but need to make additional formatting revisions, you can still graduate in that term provided you submit the required revisions by the individualized deadline provided by the Graduate School during your format review. 

You will not be certified for graduation until the formatting of your thesis/dissertation has been fully approved by the Graduate School. If your ETD is approved before your term of graduation ends, your Graduate School processor will send you an email. If your ETD is approved after your term of graduation ends and everything is ready for degree awarding, you may not be notified until you have been certified for graduation. Either way, you should be regularly checking both your PSU email and the email address you entered in your ETD Administrator profile as we may contact you at either email address. Regardless of the timing of your ETD approval, we will email you once we have certified you for graduation.

Doctoral students only: Please note that you cannot participate in the Spring PSU Commencement ceremony unless you have been certified for graduation by the Graduate School. Again, we will be in touch.

Submit your eThesis

You must upload your final successful PhD thesis to  White Rose eTheses Online (WREO) .

Submitting an eThesis is a great way to raise your research profile, increase the impact of your work, preserve your work for the future, and fulfil any funder open access requirements.

You should only upload your eThesis after your internal examiner has approved any editorial and presentational corrections or minor deficiencies identified at your examination.

You  must  also discuss the retention of thesis arrangements with your supervisor(s) so that, if necessary, an embargo period can be agreed.

How to upload your thesis

Follow our step-by-step guide to uploading your thesis below.

You can also find further advice and guidance on the  Student Education Service eThesis page .

Step 1: Create an account on WREO

• Go to  White Rose eTheses Online (WREO) .
• Select “Create Account” from the Deposit box.
• Enter your name. This must be your  full legal name  as held in the University's registration records, including forename and all middle names.
• Select your institution.
• Enter your student ID number.
• Use a  long-term email address,  not your University of Leeds student email address. You may need to be contacted about your eThesis after your student email address has expired. Choose a memorable username and password.
• Enter the words displayed when prompted.
• Click “register”.
• Activate your account from the confirmation email
• Enter your username and password.

Step 2: Add the details of your thesis

• Select “Your thesis”.
• Click on “Create thesis (start here)”.
• Follow the steps on each screen, completing all of the required fields (those with a star symbol).
• Ensure that you add a long-term email address.
• Ensure that you  add the names of your supervisor(s) and their email address(es) . This is important so that your supervisors receive a copy of the email notification confirming the upload of the eThesis and the embargo information selected.
• Check that the abstract displays as intended. Some fonts, scientific symbols and complicated formatting may display incorrectly.

Step 3: Upload the file

To upload a file:

• Browse to the file on your computer and upload it.
• Select the correct file type.
• Select the correct content type.
• Choose the agreed  Creative Commons licence type .
• You can add multiple files if required.

You must  upload the final, examined and corrected version of your thesis as a single PDF file .

In all cases, one complete eThesis file is required. However, in some cases it may also be necessary to provide a redacted version of your eThesis. Further advice on when a redacted eThesis might be required, and the process to be followed, is given on the  Student Education Service eThesis page.

You should give your eThesis a standard filename that follows the format: Surname and initials, school, degree, year of submission. For example: Smith_ABC_Chemistry_PhD_2015.PDF

Step 4: Add your embargo period (if applicable)

You are expected to make your e-thesis open access immediately in WREO unless there are exceptional circumstances. For example, you may need to apply a temporary embargo if you are planning to publish part of your thesis or if there are issues of confidentiality. Any embargo should be discussed with your supervisor. To add an embargo period:

• Choose the appropriate embargo period from the drop down menu.
• Specify the reason for the embargo.

Step 5: Deposit item

• Add or amend any of the details if prompted.
• Check that you are happy with the Thesis preview.
• Click Deposit now, or you can choose to save for later.

Once the upload process is complete you will receive confirmation via email. A confirmation email will also be sent to your supervisor(s) and to PGR and Operations staff.

If you need to make any changes to your deposit, do not create a new thesis record as this will create a duplicate record. You can edit items in your work area.

There will be a delay between the thesis being deposited and it going live. Final checks have to take place, and the pass list on which the thesis appears must be authorised before the eThesis will appear in WREO.

Submitting your thesis

All research students should submit the Notice of Intention to Submit a Thesis for a Higher Degree by Research  ( Intention to Submit Form ) no later than three months in advance of their completion date. This form initiates the identification and appointment of a committee of examiners for each thesis and, where appropriate, allows an interval for the Graduate School to investigate and resolve any concerns affecting timely submission. Recommendations for the appointment of examiners are made on behalf of the University Senate and examination of the thesis cannot commence until formal approval of the nominees. 

A late submission fee is imposed on any candidate who fails to submit his or her thesis within the prescribed timescale, as detailed in the University Calendar.

Students should consult the  College of Science and Engineering Guidelines on Thesis Submission  for information on the submission process. Students should also consult the  Guidance notes on the University Regulations for PhD. A hard copy of the thesis is no longer required but students can still deposit a copy with the Library if they wish.

It is important to check the requirements for the electronic version of your thesis before you reach the point of submission. 

Data Management

Research students should adhere to the university ‘Good Research Data Management’ policy:  https://www.gla.ac.uk/media/media_555894_en.pdf .  

The University and most finding bodies now require researchers who collect data of some sort as part of their work to write a Data Management Plan (DMP) .   The University recommends that researchers use DMPonline , a flexible work-based tool, to create DMPs.  For guidance on using DMPonline and an introduction to data management researchers should attend training which can be booked through MyCampus ( https://www.gla.ac.uk/myglasgow/datamanagement/training/ ).  For more useful information on data management support for researchers click on this link .

Deadline for submission

You should aim to submit your thesis within the standard period of study for the research degree programme upon which you are registered. However, you must submit your thesis for examination by the maximum time limit for your programme. Your standard period of study and maximum time limit dates are visible on your GRAD record. If difficulties arise you must talk to your Graduate School as soon as possible for advice. See the Examination process overview page of the For Students website for more information on the submission timings on your deadline date.

Submitting your thesis early

In some cases you may be able to submit your thesis early, before the end of your standard period of study. Your Director of Postgraduate Research Studies (DPGRS) must submit a recommendation to the Graduate Board’s Programmes and Examinations Group for a reduction to your period of study. Early submission of the thesis can only be made where it is supported by your supervisor and your DPGRS if: 

(a) the thesis is complete and ready for submission and  

(b) it has been read by your supervisor in its entirety  

Your supervisor must confirm in writing that they have read your thesis and that their view is that it is ready to be examined. There are limits to the length of the reduction that can be approved. Please see further information about the limits and the process to be followed on the How long does a research degree take? page of the For Students website . 

Uploading a PDF to GRAD

You must upload a PDF copy of your thesis to GRAD using the GRAD Thesis Submission workflow. Please see the Guide to the thesis examination process for further advice. Please contact your Graduate School in advance of your thesis submission if there are any concerns with this, for example, if there are confidentiality or commercially sensitive issues with your research. 

Practice-led research degrees

Please make sure you are fully aware of the submission requirements for your degree. You can find more information by checking the practice-led policy for your faculty or school on the Research Degrees Codes of Practice page on the SES website . 

After submission

Your thesis will be sent out to your examiners normally within 10 working days of submission, providing that it meets the University's requirements and your examination entry workflow has been approved by the Examinations Group. A GRAD email notification (to your University account) will be sent to confirm that your thesis has been sent out to your examiners, and will include advice about the next stages in the process. If Doctoral College Operations has only recently received your examination entry workflow (or your workflow has not yet been completed), if there are any issues with the length or formatting of the thesis, or if your thesis has been submitted after the maximum time limit there may be a delay in sending your thesis out for examination.

Exploring the Works of Stacy Russo at the Leatherby Libraries The Creativity of a Writer, Poet, and Former Leatherby Libraries Librarian

April 24, 2024

One of the books highlighted in this bibliography is a children’s book, Wild Librarian Bakery and Bookstore . It follows Stella Peabody, a librarian who opens a conjoined vegan bakery/bookstore that brings together a diverse community. This book is  a  heartwarming  tale  about following one’s dreams and bringing together a community, demonstrating Russo’s passion for connecting with readers through stories.

Russo’s fondness for bringing communities together is a theme that travels throughout her books. We Were Going to Change the World: Interviews with Women from the 1970s & 1980s Southern California Punk Rock Scene  provides an oral history of the Southern California punk rock scene by capturing the stories of women who participated. It examines what drew them to the punk rock scene and how that influenced the rest of their lives, demonstrating the power that oral histories have to connect people.

On Tuesday, April 9th , the Department of English and the Leatherby Libraries presented the 2024 Pub(lishing) Crawl event. Stacy Russo presented on Storytelling for Social Justice: Oral History & Other Story-Gathering Projects inspired by her book A Better World Starts Here: Activists and Their Work . Russo spoke about her passion for oral histories and how curating them allows unique stories to be shared. Prior to speaking at this event, Russo stopped by the Leatherby Libraries to see our display celebrating her written works! Stacy Russo (center) pictured posing with the reference desk display celebrating her writings in the Leatherby Libraries’ catalog.

If you are interested in checking out any of the books from this display, you can view the complete bibliography for the display here .

This display was curated by Leatherby Libraries student employees Isabella Piechota ’25, Arianna Tillman ’25, and Kalea Brown ’26.
