The advent of knowledge society has rendered individuals and organizations all over the world to rethink their sources of values. Using technologies to facilitate the value creation process is now a critical practice. This practice is susceptible to the issues of privacy invasion and copyright infringement.  These issues have generated enormous interests in and controversies over the opportunities and challenges of technology policy and law among businesses, governments, legislators, academics, researchers, and the public.  The International Journal of Technology Policy and Law aims to promote and share technology policy and law in the fields of science and technology, political science, informatics, sociology, and economics.  The Journal invites papers representing synergy between theory and practices to help policy makers and executives govern and manage technologies and its related society, policies, and law.  Emphases will be on the related social, political and economic issues, as well as emerging issues of interest to legislators, professionals, and academics.  The international dimension is also emphasized in order to overcome cultural and national barriers and to meet the needs of accelerating global technological, social, and economical changes.  The IJTPL publishes original and review papers, technical reports, case studies, conference reports, management reports, book reviews, notes, and commentaries.  We welcome both submissions and inquiries from potential authors.  Questions should be addressed to the Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Dr. Eldon Y.
