美国法律评论的“学生办刊”模式研究

Research on the“Students-run journals”Model of Law Reviews in the United States

"学生办刊"作为一种独特的办刊模式,有利于创新办刊思路,促进学术期刊更好地发展。以《哈佛法律评论》《耶鲁法律杂志》《斯坦福法律评论》为例,探究美国法律评论类期刊学生编辑的选拔与分工机制以及期刊的栏目设置和集稿审稿机制。研究结果表明,"学生办刊"模式的主要特征包括学生主导、独立办刊、组织严密、体系完备、民主制衡等。采用"学生办刊"模式应建立严谨的学生编辑选拔机制,明确学生编辑的职能分工,规范期刊集稿要求,健全期刊审稿制度,实现采用"学生办刊"模式的期刊间的联合,办出期刊特色。

As a unique model of running journals, the "Students-run journals" model is beneficial to innovate the ideas of running journals and promote the development of academic journals. Taking Harvard Law Review, Yale Law Journal, and Stanford Law Review as examples, we studied their appointment and division of editors based on specialization, column set, and the soliciting and reviewing of contributions. The results show that the main characteristics of the "Students-run journals" model include being led by students, independent operation, tight organization, complete system, and democracy. When adopting the "Students-run journals" model, it is necessary to establish a rigorous selection mechanism of student editors, clarify the work division of student editors, standardize the requirements of soliciting manuscripts of journals, improve the system of reviewing manuscripts of journals, realize the union of journals run by students, and develop the characteristics of journals.
