Abstract
This article explores the critical role librarians play in advancing the quality and accessibility of law journal publishing in an increasingly digital landscape. Keele and Pearse highlight key areas where librarians can support student-edited law journals, including copyright guidance, digital preservation, version control, and discoverability. The authors provide practical suggestions for librarians, such as implementing metadata standards, persistent identifiers, and supporting empirical research integrity. They also advocate for increased collaboration between libraries and journals to improve content accessibility, manage plagiarism concerns, and ensure long-term preservation of digital scholarship. Through these contributions, librarians can significantly enhance the reach and impact of legal scholarship.
