Call for Papers: Contemporary Issues in International Relations

2022-06-17

From July 2022, Carta Internacional welcomes papers for a new section: "Contemporary Issues in International Relations." It will be composed of short articles written in English or Spanish that result from the work of international research networks. We will receive contributions in a continuous flow and publish one section per year, following the guidelines presented below.

 

1) Authors must present a complete proposal composed of a set of 3 articles on a theme of their choice. Papers must be submitted in English or Spanish.

2) The applicants will choose the theme of the proposal. It must be current, related to the field of International Relations (see Editorial Policy, in the tab "About the Journal"), and object of research of international networks that include Brazilian and foreign researchers.

3) Authors must have different institutional affiliations. It is a condition for the acceptance of the proposal that the institutions are located in at least two countries. Considering the set of three papers, only one author may come from a Brazilian institution. We recommend that diversity and representativeness are observed for the group of authors.

4) For co-authored papers, the requirement of 1/3 of the authors (as indicated in item 3) should be observed and applied proportionally to the total number of authors of the set of manuscripts.

5) The evaluation of proposals will follow the same rules already adopted by the journal for the double-blind peer review. The external referees’ reviews will always consider the proposal as a whole. Based on the reviews the Editorial Team might accept the proposal for publication, demand revision, recommend submission for a new round of evaluation, or reject the proposal.

6) One of the authors should submit the proposal to the journal, including all the papers that integrate it. Manuscripts must be sent in a single document and separated by the respective title, abstract, and keywords. Proponents must provide a cover sheet for each paper, including the name, mini curriculum, e-mail address, and ORCID of the authors, and send it separately.

7) The articles that integrate the section proposal must be presented according to the following format:

  • Each manuscript should have between 3000 and 4000 words, including footnotes and bibliographical references. Papers must be on the same theme and written in English or Spanish.
  • The papers must contain the title, abstract in English and Spanish, keywords in English and Spanish, and bibliographical references, besides the text itself.
  • The title, abstract, keywords, and bibliographical references must follow the formatting rules adopted by the journal (see tab "Submissions").
  • For further information about the publication process, please see the tab "About the Journal".

 

Before submitting a proposal, we kindly request that proponents consult Carta Internacional’s Editorial Policy.
