Contents: The Electronic Journal of Comparative Law (ISSN 1387-3091) was developed in 1997 by Tilburg University's Schoordijk Institute and Utrecht University's Molengraaff Institute with the support of the Innovatie Wetenschappelijke Informatiervoorziening (IWI). The journal primarily publishes articles relating to comparative private law and the methodology of comparative law. The journal's web site is well designed and provides access to both the current issue and all back issues; article and author indexes, as well as a search engine, further faciliate access. Each article contains an abstract, and the complete text may be read either online or downloaded in various formats (Word, WordPerfect, and ASCII). The journal offers an e-mail notification service for new issues. Prospective contributors can find guidelines for authors at the site; manuscripts, whether solicited or unsolicited, may be subject to peer review at the discretion of the editorial board, which is currently headed by Sjef van Erp of Maastricht University. A report describing the development of the journal is also available, which might be of interest to those considering beginning their own electronic journal.
