For Authors
EDITORIAL REVIEW AND ACCEPTANCE
Manuscripts are accepted based on the quality and originality of the research and contribution to the field of international studies. Except where otherwise stated, manuscripts are peer reviewed by three anonymous reviewers and the Editor. Final acceptance or rejection rests with the Editorial Board, who reserves the right to refuse any material for publication. Submitted manuscripts should be original pieces of work that have not been published in other places, or not currently on offer to another publisher. Manuscripts should be written in a clear, concise, and direct style so that they are intelligible to the readers who may not be specialists in the particular field. When submissions are judged as acceptable for publication, the Editor and the Publisher reserve the right to modify typescripts to eliminate ambiguity and/or repetition. If extensive alterations are required, the manuscript will be returned to the author for revision.
