Emerald EarlyCite

The concept of this service is to provide users with access to Emerald content before official publication. This allows for earlier dissemination of content, which will ensure earlier citation of articles. EarlyCite articles are fully peer-reviewed and made available online before they undergo the full sub-editing and page-proofing stages. Once the final copy of the article is ready for publication, it replaces the EarlyCite version. Every EarlyCite paper is assigned to an issue, which enables correct referencing.

Ny Databas: Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law

The Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law (MPEPIL) is the updated online edition of the Encyclopedia of Public International Law published in print between 1991 and 2001 under the general editorship of Rudolf Bernhardt. The online database contains over 450 articles including over 120 that relate to judicial decisions and dispute settlement, and a set of articles covering the history of international law since the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. More articles will be steadily added until nearly 1700 articles are made available by 2010.
