We would like to invite you to take part in the Nordic Journal of Commercial Law (NJCL) and the CLEAR project’s special issue on crowdfunding: 'Regulating Crowdfunding: Past, Present and Future'. Are you interested in contributing to this exciting issue? Then keep reading!
Your contribution must be in English but may comprise the legal aspects of crowdfunding in any national, regional, or international context. Our goal is to bring together legal researchers with an interest in crowdfunding and to boost the scholarly attention to the field. Contributions may draw on lessons from the past, focus on current issues, or take a punch at what the future may look like.
Topics of interest for the special issue (see also attached inspiration sheet): any legal aspect of crowdfunding, equity crowdfunding, loan crowdfunding, donation crowdfunding, rewards crowdfunding, commercial law, contract law, sales law, regulation of public fundraising, EU law, financial markets, secondary markets, harmonisation, alternative investment funds (AIF) and more.
As a support to your work, we can offer access to our Zotero database with more than 1000 titles about crowdfunding, which are indexed according to topics and can be accessed through Zotero web. Moreover, Zotero makes it easy to create references and bibliographies in accordance with the journal’s preferred citation style, OSCOLA.
We also offer proof reading through NJCL and we are planning to host online as well as physical workshops (depending on the covid19 situation), where authors can discuss their papers, share ideas, review each other papers and get inspiration. If you would like to contribute to the issue, then please get in touch with us - and send us a preliminary working title no later than 30 September 2021.
For questions or more information about the issue, please contact Thomas Neumann (thn@law.aau.dk).
Please feel free to share this invitation with your network and to share with us on LinkedIn.
Nordic Journal of Commercial Law (NJCL) has since its conception in 2003 enjoyed publishing contributions from prominent scholars especially in the fields of international contract and sales law.

The Nordic Journal of Commercial Law is internationally renowned (BFI2 ranking in Denmark), diamond/platinum open access as the journal is free to both authors and the public, indexed automatically in DOAJ, archived also in HeinOnline, and published in English.
