Overview

Good books deserve to be read. This is especially true in the digital age. Precisely due to the easy availability of information in legal databases, there is a danger that readers will no longer seek out the printed book.

This is all the more true if obtaining it involves long trips to the library, waiting times for orders and financial costs. But those who only publish on the internet are often not perceived as relevant or have to pay high Open Access fees.

With the Trier Studies on Digital Law, we therefore want to contribute to our goal of a society-oriented science that is as freely accessible as possible. By way of Diamond Open Access, we offer with the series a platform to share scholarly writings in the field of digital law with a broad audience.

Trier Studies on Digital Law are characterised by four guiding principles:

Relevance & Quality

The books we include in our series are excellent works on relevant topics in the law of digitisation.

Free Access Culture

For readers, publications are freely available in digital form, at no cost. The publication is also free of charge for authors.

Fast & permanent availability

Publications are available on the internet shortly after their completion. Cooperation with Trier University Library and the German National Library guarantees that this remains the case permanently.

Digital & analogue

The digital version of a publication can be accessed from anywhere at the touch of a button. Those who would like to hold the publication in their hands or study it in-depth can also purchase physical copies by way of print-on-demand services.

With our publication model, we thus assure compliance with quality standards and enable both authors and readers to participate in the scientific discourse without having to make considerable financial contributions or to resort to public funding.

The Trier Studies on Digital Law are published by the Verein für Recht und Digitalisierung, a non-profit association dedicated to support the IRDT, the Institute for Digital Law Trier.
