Working Papers Series
The Faculty of Law of the University of Lisbon (FDUL) promotes the publication on its website of working papers prepared by teachers, researchers and students of the Faculty, which refer to a legal discipline or related area.
Texts submitted by FDUL teachers and researchers are immediately published on the FDUL Working Papers website. The Publishing Committee is responsible for deciding whether or not to publish texts submitted by FDUL students. To this end – and without prejudice to the collegial nature of the Committee – the texts submitted by the students are initially analysed by a teaching member of the Committee who is a member of the Faculty’s scientific group (legal, legal-economic, legal-political and historical-legal) with which the work is most closely related, and by one of the students who are members of the Committee. If it deems it necessary, the Committee may request the collaboration of other FDUL lecturers. With regard to texts that have been graded in a curricular unit or subject at the Faculty, these will only be analysed by the Committee after they have been graded by the respective lecturer and with the lecturer’s knowledge. The Committee may invite the interested party to improve the text for possible publication. In the end, the Publication Committee will decide whether or not to publish the text and will inform the interested party or parties of its decision.
Interested parties should send the text they wish to see published on the FDUL Working Papers website to comissaopublicacao@fd.ulisboa.pt. The text must comply with the style book in the following annex.
” Style Book (PT) / Style Guide (EN)
Interested parties should indicate their identification details and contact details by filling in the form available on the submission form, which should be delivered to the FDUL Secretariat with a duly signed declaration of responsibility.
If it is not unpublished, interested parties should mention on the first page of the working paper the full bibliographical reference of the original publication, as well as the fact that the republication (total or partial) is duly authorised.
By submitting a text for publication, interested parties automatically accept that, once published on the FDUL website, their texts will be freely quoted, without the need for prior authorisation. Working papers published on the FDUL website may be freely cited, provided that the citations expressly mention the name(s) of the author(s), the title of the working paper, the reference “working papers of the Faculty of Law of the University of Lisbon” and the respective date of publication on the Faculty website.
Working papers published on the FDUL website may be freely publicised by their authors, provided they mention that the text in question has been published on the FDUL Working Papers website.
The Publishing Committee sends the texts submitted for publication to each of the Research Centres, depending on the subject, in order to obtain any comments and/or observations, and they may also publish the working papers on their respective pages, if the interested parties authorise it.
Copyright belongs to the respective authors. The working papers are the sole responsibility of the respective authors and do not naturally reflect the position of FDUL.
