SAILS launch kicks off SAILS: Study & Analysis of Int'l Law Scholarship ASIL with an amazing panel of speakers and student leaders

Shout-out to the SAILS leadership team as ASIL has reached its conclusion. Huge thanks to Ali, Mishan, & Nicolas for taking on SAILS: Study & Analysis of Int'l Law Scholarship & bringing it all to fruition. The conversation is just getting started so join the mailing list on the website for more!

For more on different ranking & citation systems in international law scholarship, check out the articles in our recent symposium: coursesites.georgetown.domains/sails/publicat… Our authors break down the metrics & analyze trends in int'l & comp law (& note shortcomings of some systems/labels). ✍️

We're so lucky that @quintana_fj is already in the SAILS family serving as discussant at next week's European University Institute workshop - the second in the SAILS series. Draft program below! Geraldo Vidigal - still time to come to Florence ☀️ Then your joint article will naturally follow! ✍️

Fascinating! Some of the SAILS authors tackle some issues this comment flags. E.g., Kathleen Claussen tracks languages for 594 IL journals (change over time interesting) as well as OA #s Freya Baetens Faculty of Law has a paper on yearbooks + more on regional & transnational journals

This great paper is also in the 1st SAILS symposium. coursesites.georgetown.domains/sails/publicat… So many fun visuals & analysis by these masters so little time! AND ❗️wait til you all get to the one in Yale Journal of International Law by experts Cecily Rose @danielcpeat on what IL research gets funded ... Teaser:
