The TDM Journal comprising an extensive series of concise abstracts and a select number of full "lead" articles.

The emphasis is not on a compilation of 'clippings' from newspapers, trade journals and the internet - as valuable as these are as a rapid item of information, but rather on 'intelligence & insight', i.e. comment on the true significance, the essential elements and the wider implications of current developments written by lawyers and dispute management specialists with an in-depth understanding of what a new development means - rather than just the reproduction of a press release.

TDM also includes a selection of what we think are the most relevant recent publications (articles, notes, case reports, official international agency reports).

The TDM Journal can be downloaded as a PDF-file from the website. E-mail is used to notify registered users of new TDM-editions and its index. The Journal is published on a bi-monthly basis aiming at approximate 6 issues per year.

The TDM Journal includes inter alia an extensive series of concise abstracts. Most abstracts contain hyperlinks to more extensive and full articles, notes, comments and primary law, written by expert lawyers and regulation specialists. The Editor will also select key discussion comments from the most relevant internet forums, in particular OGEMID (oil-gas-energy-mining-infrastructure & investment disputes). As part of the subscription users can access and download these full articles from the TDM website.

To summarise:

• The TDM Journals can be read online and offline.
• Full articles can be downloaded as Adobe Acrobat Reader (PDF) files.
• Online Archive of previously published issues and articles.
• The Online Archive can be searched by: Free text, Author, Category and Year.

Access to the TDM Journal Archive, our database of past TDM Journals, an internet-based journal of longer articles, studies, and notes, providing ample options for cross-searching the TDM Journals and bibliographic references.

This TDM Journal Archive also contains a selection based on the most relevant articles published on internet and other journals over the last 5 years. So, not only you will have access to articles that have been published in TDM, but also too articles that appeared in relevant Dispute Management & Arbitration Journals and other Publications before 2004. TDM was launched in January 2004.

It is growing rapidly and will constitute the core of the searchable TDM intelligence on all subjects.

Access to a database of Legal and Regulatory Materials, a growing collection of: laws, regulations, contracts, guidelines, tribunal/court awards. The database already contains a large collection of laws, treaties, agreements, awards and other primary materials. It will mainly focus on Investment Arbitraton Awards, Cases and other Awards. As it grows, it will form one of the most valuable assets of the TDM subscription.

Different from existing services, this "TDM knowledge bank" will focus in particular on the inclusion of authoritative "soft" regulatory materials - voluntary codes, guidelines, standards, resolutions and declarations. Both the impact of the NGO "civil society" , the corporate governance and the professional communities will be reflected in the "soft" regulation database.

To summarise:

• Searchable database which contains a growing collection of laws, regulations, contracts, guidelines, tribunal/court awards.
• Documents can be downloaded as Adobe Acrobat Reader (PDF) or MS Word (DOC) files.
• This online database can be searched by: Free Text, Category, Country/Region, Year

Each TDM Journal has a number of pages with bibliographic references. These bibliographies are prepared by our Assistant Editors and can be read online or downloaded as seperate articles. Bibliographies regarding certain topics are updated regularly and available for download to our subscribers.

OGEMID (oil gas energy infrastructure and investment disputes) is an internet-based intelligence service and discussion group for posting news and comment and engaging in debate. Moderated by our Editor-in-Chief, Professor Thomas W. Wälde, it is co-sponsored by CEPMLP/Dundee (www.cepmlp.org) and TDM (www.transnational-dispute-management.com) in collaboration with OGEL (www.gasandoil.com/ogel).

OGEMID was set up originally as a discussion group with CEPMLP PhD students, CEPMLP staff and - select - alumni and a small number of external colleagues.

It has now developed from about 25 members to well over 600. Requests for admissions are received on a daily basis as it is seen as one of the most effective (if not the most effective) way of keeping abreast of recent developments in the specialised field it covers.

OGEMID brings together most of the world's experienced professionals in the field of international dispute management, mainly arbitration, mediation, negotiation, with a particular emphasis on investment disputes. OGEMID members are now the most up-to-date informed professionals in these fields.

We offer institutional TDM subscribers the benefit of a related membership on OGEMID. Each subscribing company or organisation to TDM, is permitted to sign up 3 of its employees as participants in OGEMID, renewable annually if the subscription is renewed.
