E-First

e-First is a publishing module that helps the Singapore Academy of Law Journal (SAcLJ) and the Singapore Academy of Law Annual Review of Singapore Cases (SAL Ann Rev) authors get published faster.

Papers or chapters submitted will still go through the standard editorial process: be copy edited, typeset and approved by the author. The difference is the speed at which the paper is published and released for viewing. As soon as a paper or chapter is accepted, it is processed editorially and published online without waiting to be included in a print edition. This substantially reduces the time it takes for a paper or chapter to be published thus improving on currency of the content, and offers readers quicker access to topical subjects. A paper or chapter that appears in e-First will constitute publication hence establishing publication precedence for SAcLJ and SAL Ann Rev authors.

Once an e-First paper or chapter is published in a print edition, the paper or chapter is removed from the e-First portal' and posted under the respective print issue in the e-Archive. This incorporation of e-First papers or chapters into the print edition, and subsequent removal from the e-First portal may result in there being no papers or chapters viewable in e-First.

All e-First papers or chapters will be published in the print edition.
