Description

The conversion of law and regulation into computer code, also referred to as digital regulation, has become increasingly widespread.

Professor Anna Huggins, Dr Alice Witt, Professor Mark Burdon, and their team at the School of Law at Queensland University of Technology, Australia are exploring opportunities and challenges associated with digitising regulation.

In their most recent paper, they identify and analyse misalignments between regulation and how it is encoded arising from subjective interpretations, using legal cartography concepts.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
