Have a point to make?
Make it with BITS.
A case you think deserves a closer look. A procedural question you can explain well. An argument worth putting to the arbitration community.
What we’re interested in
International commercial and investment arbitration, court decisions, institutional developments, practical procedure and the people or technologies changing how disputes are resolved. A local development can be a strong story if you explain its wider significance.
Choose a useful format
These are starting points, not rigid limits. Tell us if the subject needs a different treatment.
Before you submit
Send original work that you are entitled to publish. Link to primary sources and identify quotations clearly. Distinguish a court’s findings from allegations and your own view. Disclose relevant professional involvement, funding or conflicts.
Do not include client information, privileged material or confidential documents. If you use AI tools, describe how they helped; you remain responsible for checking the text, sources and accuracy. Generated references and unchecked summaries are not acceptable.
What happens next
We consider fit, accuracy and clarity. The editors may suggest changes and will agree substantive revisions with you before publication. A submission does not guarantee publication or a particular publication date.
Contributor submissions are unpaid unless a separate written agreement says otherwise. Authors keep copyright in their original work and, if accepted, agree a non-exclusive permission for BITS to publish and promote the agreed article with author credit. Any different terms must be agreed before publication.
Send a pitch or a draft
Include a short outline, the central point, key sources and a short professional bio. If you already have a draft, send it as an editable document. Use the subject line “BITS submission” when emailing arbitrationbits@gmail.com.
We do not need your date of birth, home address or identity documents. Our Privacy Policy explains how editorial enquiries are handled.
