Technology and Regulation (TechReg)
An interdisciplinary journal of law, technology and society

Technology and Regulation (TechReg) is an international journal of law, technology and society, with an interdisciplinary identity. The inaugural issue of the journal is now online at https://techreg.org/. TechReg provides an online platform for disseminating original research on the legal and regulatory challenges posed by existing and emerging technologies (and their applications) including, but by no means limited to, the Internet and digital technology, artificial intelligence and machine learning, robotics, neurotechnology, nanotechnology, biotechnology, energy and climate change technology, and health and food technology. We conceive of regulation broadly to encompass ways of dealing with, ordering and understanding technologies and their consequences, such as through legal regulation, competition, social norms and standards, and technology design (or in Lessig’s terms: law, market, norms and architecture).

We aim to address critical and sometimes controversial questions such as:

  *   How do new technologies shape society both positively and negatively?
  *   Should technology development be steered towards societal goals, and if so, which goals and how?
  *   What are the benefits and dangers of regulating human behavior through technology?
  *   What is the most appropriate response to technological innovation, in general or in particular cases?

It is in this sense that TechReg is intrinsically interdisciplinary: we believe that legal and regulatory debates on technology are inextricable from societal, political and economic concerns, and that therefore technology regulation requires a multidisciplinary, integrated approach. Through a combination of monodisciplinary, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary articles, the journal aims to contribute to an integrated vision of law, technology and society.


We invite original, well-researched and methodologically rigorous submissions from academics and practitioners, including policy-makers, on a wide range of research areas such as privacy and data protection, security, surveillance, cybercrime, intellectual property, innovation, competition, governance, risk, ethics, media and data studies, and others (submission information at https://techreg.org/index.php/techreg/about/submissions).<https://techreg.org/index.php/techreg/about/submissions>


TechReg is double-blind peer-reviewed and completely open access for both authors and readers. TechReg does not charge article processing fees.
