SUBMISSION PROCESS

The editors of Ethnopolitics invite the submission of original research articles (around 10,000 words), research notes (up to 5,000 words), review essays (3,000-4,000 words) and book reviews (800-1,000).  By submission of a manuscript an author certifies that the work is original and is not being considered simultaneously by another publisher.

 

Editorial correspondence should be sent to the Editor, Stefan Wolff, Department of Political Science and International Studies, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B15 2TT, UK. Email: stefan@stefanwolff.com. Correspondence and manuscript submission by email is preferred.

All submissions should be emailed as Microsoft Word attachments to the editors at journal@ethnopolitics.org
Once you have submitted your manuscript, the editors will contact you and acknowledge your submission. Each manuscript receives an initial internal screening by the editors determining its suitability for the journal. This is followed by an anonymous peer-review process at the end of which the editors will make a decision about your manuscript.

The review process normally takes approximately 8-10 weeks, but can occasionally exceed this time frame. The editors endeavour to reach an informed decision quickly and to keep you up-to-date about the status of your manuscript.

 

The cover page should contain the title and a short abstract of around 100 words.  The abstract should be clear and informative, giving an indication of the scope of, and results contained in, the paper.  A separate sheet should give the name(s) and affiliation(s) of the author(s).
