The European Journal of Empirical Legal Studies (EJELS) is a fully open access peer-reviewed journal devoted to the empirical study of law and legal systems. It aims to bridge the substantive domain of law and the empirical approaches broadly conceived, ranging from quantitative to qualitative methods. The Journal is committed to fostering a methodologically pluralist, intellectually open, and disciplinarily inclusive academic culture. EJELS is not restricted to any particular field of law nor any particular legal system, but particularly welcomes submissions of relevance to a European audience.
Privacy Policy for EJELS
The EJELS manages personal information for academic purposes, i.e., to complete and distribute research material. The Journal is therefore responsible for handling personal information. The National Library of Sweden provides access to Publicera as a digital infrastructure and archive for the Journal. The following text describes how the Journal collects and manages personal information via Publicera.
What counts as personal information and how is it managed?
Personal information is all information that directly or indirectly can be attributed to a physical living person. This can, for example, include images and audio files that are managed in a database even if anonymized. In addition, encrypted information and different kinds of electronic identities (e.g., IP numbers) are considered personal information if connected to a physical person.
Management of personal information includes all transactions related to the data. This includes all management, whether or not it is automatic.
Common types of management of personal data are collection, registration, organization, structuring, storing, processing, transferring and deleting.
