The Information Technology Law open-access series is conceived as a venue for research and academic dialogue among legal scholars from both European and non-European legal traditions. It is devoted to all dimensions of digital law.
New technologies—including artificial intelligence, blockchain, the application of big data analytics, and other emerging tools—are reshaping economic, social, and institutional landscapes. This series seeks to provide critical and interpretative tools to understand and govern these transformations, with particular regard to legislative, doctrinal, and case-law methodologies.
The approach is deliberately broad and interdisciplinary. Contributions are welcome in fields such as public and private law, labour and commercial law, civil and criminal procedure, data protection and digital markets law, digital health and cybersecurity, as well as the ethical dimensions of technological evolution.
The objective is to establish a publishing venue that reflects the complexity of the digital realm. It aims to show how digital transformations affect the structure of legal frameworks, the protection of fundamental rights, and the very notion of citizenship.
The choice of open access is not merely technical but cultural. Making research findings freely available in order to maximise the benefits of this knowledge production enhances transparency and fosters a global debate among scholars, practitioners, institutions, and policy-makers. To maximise the circulation of knowledge, contributions are accepted in English, French, Spanish, and Italian.
The series welcomes monographs, essays, and collected volumes that address contemporary themes of IT law in innovative ways. Particular attention is paid to comparative analysis, with the aim of contributing to a genuinely open, inclusive, and continuously evolving knowledge ecosystem.
