Student Journals: Uploading content to repository

Final Steps

Once the article files are finalized, there are a few final steps:

  • Email the final pdf version of each article to the authors.  As a courtesy to the authors, and in the same email you can let them know the article is posted to your journal's page on the Law School Repository

  • Both print AND online-only journals MUST upload final pdfs of articles to your Journal page on the BerkeleyLaw Scholarship Repository. 

    • Crop final pdfs to exclude print guide and banner lines prior to posting

    •  Forward cropped pdfs and any frontmatter files to Maro (mvmanou@law.berkeley.edu) to initiate the upload process

    •  Contact  Joe Cera (jcera@law.berkeley.edu) with questions regarding editor access or uploading content

  • Upload final Word and pdfs of your articles to your Journal’s Shared Drive, along with Author Agreements and any other relevant files. 

Last step! Submitting files for upload to Westlaw/ Lexis

The third party online content providers (such as Lexis, Westlaw, HeinOnline) obtain journal content by regularly scrubbing the journal pages on the Law School Repository.   

Therefore, it is important to make sure that your content is uploaded as soon as you've completed your issue.

ONLINE-ONLY Journals- instructions
