Regulatory Initiatives on Ecodesign and Sustainable Products
The Call invites contributions on the subject of “Regulatory Initiatives on Ecodesign and Sustainable Products”, to explore the legal frameworks, challenges, and opportunities related to ecodesign, to foster an in-depth understanding of how it can influence economic growth and how it will be integrated in the current legal framework. This Special Section invites scholarly contributions examining the role of emerging sustainability initiatives, and introducing new sustainability requirements and responsibilities, particularly in the EU regulatory framework.
We welcome theoretical, empirical, and case-based approaches that provide a deeper understanding of ecodesign, its practical applications, its challenges and consequences for the economy, and its implications within the current regulatory framework. The Editorial Board will select articles based on the quality of research and writing, diversity, and relevance of the topic. The novelty of the academic contribution is also an essential requirement.
Prospective articles should be submitted as abstracts (around 800 words) or draft articles (see below) to submissions.jlmi@iuse.it by 21 February 2025. Authors will be notified of the outcome of their submission by 3 March 2025. Final articles shall be delivered by 3 June 2025 and should conform to the journal style guide based on OSCOLA.
Typically, the JLMI accepts contributions within the range of 10.000-15.000 words, including footnotes, but shorter and longer articles will be considered. Submitted articles will undergo a rigorous double-blind peer-review process. Before submission, prospective authors are invited to check the JLMI Authors’ guidelines (also concerning simultaneous submission to other journals) and Code of Ethics. For further information, or consultation on a potential submission, please email us at editors.jlmi@iuse.it.
Authors are required to disclose if they have submitted their article elsewhere, both in case of negative and pending reviews, and promptly update the editorial board of any changes in this regard, throughout the whole editorial process with the JLMI.
