Oxford Law Online
Freelance Legal Editors/Researchers wanted
?
The Law Department within the Academic Division of Oxford University Press is seeking legal editors/researchers to work on a freelance basis, populating and validating Oxford Law Citator content as part of the enhancement of the Oxford Law Online portfolio.
Oxford Law Online currently presents three live products in international law (Oxford Reports in International Law, Investment Claims, and The Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law) and multiple services are in the pipeline for development. Each service is supported by the Oxford Law Citator.
The Citator is a relational information hub, recording key metadata and relationships for all published and referenced legal content, allowing users to follow a research trail and explore the relevance of references within and between different types of legal content and commentary.
We are offering a small number of freelance editors the opportunity to join our existing home-based team in the ongoing project to populate the Citator. The work involves use of an online application as a tool, to validate links and record key information about each item, in line with a strict style guide. The work requires broad knowledge of legal content, confidence in using technology, and an ordered, meticulous mindset.
Payment is by piece. Full training and style guidance documentation will be provided.
If you are interested in finding out more about the work, please contact Rachel Norman (rachel.norman(at)oup.com) with your cv.
