The Journal of Copyright in Education and Librarianship was founded in 2016 and is a peer-reviewed open-access publication for original articles, reviews and case studies that analyze or describe the strategies, partnerships and impact of copyright law on public, school, academic, and digital libraries, archives, museums, and research institutions and their educational initiatives.

The journal welcomes original research and practitioner experience papers, legal analysis, as well as submissions in alternative formats.

In order to lower barriers to publication for authors, JCEL does not charge submission or any other form of author fees. Copyright in the articles will remain with the authors, and all articles will be published under a Creative Commons license.
