SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

The Journal for Peace & Justice Studies publishes work from a variety of disciplines, including, but not limited to, philosophy, theology, social and political theory, and public policy. While the editors particularly encourage contributions arising from the Judeo-Christian intellectual traditions, they welcome all submissions that promote peace and seek to build a just society. Discussions of abstract and conceptual issues underlying substantive problems, and empirical research aiming at their resolution, will also be considered. Shorter articles, review essays, book reviews, and commentaries are also published.

Manuscripts and related correspondence should be sent electronically to the Managing Editor at [email protected]. Manuscript submissions should be accompanied by a cover letter containing all contact information and title of the essay. No identifying information may be in the submission itself.

Word count for essays should be between 6000-8000 words. An abstract of 100- to 150-words must be included with the submission.
