Abstract

In 2012, the Leiden Journal of International Law (LJIL) will celebrate its Silver Jubilee. Such a milestone calls for a brief sketch of LJIL’s life and development over the past quarter of a century. This editorial accordingly narrates how LJIL grew from a modest student-run journal to establishing itself as a respected participant in the international academic arena. It is premised on the idea that LJIL’s professionalization process and the gradual formation of a distinct identity in the field may be of interest to our entire epistemic community and those interested in the dynamics of the dissemination of scholarly ideas. Eventually, this editorial engages with some of the greatest challenges with which LJIL – as well as other actors in scholarly publishing – will most likely be confronted in the years to come.

Keywords: International Law, academic publishing, scholarly publishing, internet, dissemination of knowledge, international legal scholarship
