Request for Proposals - Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law (JDFSL)

HTTP://erau.edu/JDFSL

As part of our effort to provide a succession plan to assure the long-term continuity for the JDFSL, now in its 13th year, we will begin accepting proposals from Academic institutions and Publishers to acquire the journal along with all publishing and management responsibilities.

While not a requirement, preference will be given to those proposals that provide for continuation of the open access policy of the journal as well as to those organizations that have an existing relationship with BEPRESS.

Proposals should be emailed to the following: Glenn S. Dardick Director, ADFSL gdardick@dardick.netmailto:gdardick@dardick.net

Additionally, the following has been provided to those that have already expressed an interest to submit a proposal

in order to be fair to all parties, I am providing the following information, given in response to questions already asked, to all parties that have submitted proposals and will be submitting proposals.

1. Right now a proposal can be pretty informal (i.e. "yes we are interested"). Basically, I am looking first to see who is interested, and then I will request a more formal proposal to address items, like plan to host, plan to manage, etc.

1. If you wish, I am available to speak over the following couple of weeks to answer any questions you might have.

1. While preference is given to BEPRESS because of the ease of transitioning (nothing would need to move), BEPRESS is not a requirement, it just means the re-inputting information into a different system if not using BEPRESS (Digital Commons). Prior to going with BEPRESS, I did install and use the OJS and OCS systems from PKP (it used PHP and MySQL and ran easily under IIS)

1. Research Institutes do qualify under the umbrella of academic institutions and would satisfy the academic organization requirement

1. re: timing - the primary purpose of sending out the RFPs is to create and implement a succession plan - this is really being done to assure the continued existence and success of the JDFSL and Conference if something were to happen to me - hit by bus, senility, etc. etc.. Seriously, there is no set timeframe, and I don't plan on dying anytime soon, but I would think a transition on January 1, 2019 or later would make sense - although timeframe really is flexible. I am of course willing to continue on during and after a transition as needed.
