SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
- Submit by email to peaceresearch@uwinnipeg.ca an electronic copy of the
manuscript. The electronic copy can be submitted as either a Word DOC or DOCX file or an RTF file from any other word processing program. To aid our
electronic filing system, please include your last name and date
in the electronic file name (e.g., Derksen and McCutcheon – OCT
07 – PR Submission.rtf). To submit manuscripts by paper mail in hard copy please contact the editors.
- Articles published in Peace Research are
evaluated in a double-blind peer review
process. Please provide a list of possible reviewers for your
article, including the institutional affiliation and email
address for each potential reviewer. The provision of these
names does not determine the final selection of peer reviewers.
- The preferred length is 20–30 pages (or approximately 6000–9000 words) typed, double-spaced (including all block quotes
and endnotes), on 8.5 x 11 inch paper with
1 inch margins on each side using ragged right margin and 11 or
12 point font. We will consider articles that are shorter or
longer than these guidelines if the subject of the article
warrants it.
- Your article submission should have four parts:
- an unnumbered cover page that includes the
author’s name as it would appear in print, institutional
affiliation, and contact information;
- a separate unnumbered page with a 120 word abstract of the
article;
- a separate unnumbered page with a 60 word biographical
statement;
- the manuscript itself with the title of the article on the
top of the first page (not the author’s name) and consecutive
pagination beginning with page 1.
- Tables, graphs and charts must be professionally readied for
reproduction.
- Peace Research uses the Chicago Manual of
Style (16th Edition) as the final arbiter of all matters
related to proper citation of sources and style. The 7th edition
of Turabian: A Manual for Writers is based on the Chicago Manual of Style (16th Edition), and can be
usefully consulted when the Chicago Manual of Style is not available. Where there are discrepancies between the two,
the Chicago Manual of Style will be used.
- Use the Chicago Manual of Style (16th Edition)
endnote style. Endnotes should be double-spaced and begin on a
new page. Numerous online resources illustrate the Chicago
style. We prefer the use of shortened author and titles for second and
following citations of the same work.
- Authors are responsible for securing copyright agreements
for any long quotations found in their articles.
