About the Review
The Visegrad Review is a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal focusing on the politics, social realities, cultures, economies and histories of Visegrad Group member states. The Review is an interdisciplinary, English-language publication available in both print and electronic formats. Published twice a year–in April and November–the Visegrad Review welcomes submissions from academics, researchers, graduate students and civil servants with an interest in Central Europe.
Distribution:
The Visegrad Review is available in both print and electronic formats. Printed copies of the Review will be deposited at national libraries in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, as well as at Library and Archives Canada, the US Library of Congress and at the British Library. Contributors will each receive a complimentary printed copy of the Visegrad Review. University libraries, all interested organizations and private individuals may ask to have a copy of the Review mailed to their address for a nominal fee, in order to cover the cost of shipping and handling.
While the printed version of the Visegrad Review is distributed in early April and November, a complete electronic version of the publication will appear six weeks later. Online access to the journal through this website will be free of charge.
Submission Guidelines:
We welcome original academic articles, as well as book reviews that relate to the politics, history, culture, society or economy of any Visegrad Four member state. Essays or reviews that look at supranational issues or themes are especially encouraged. Please keep in mind that we can only consider essays, articles or reviews that have not yet been published in other journals, books or on websites.
All essays should be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word format, either as an e-mail attachment or mailed on a CD to the address listed at the bottom of this page. The submission deadline for the Visegrad Review’s Spring 2010 issue is 15 March 2010.
Submissions must not exceed 25 double-spaced pages, with 12 pt. Times New Roman font, excluding endnotes. Please format your document to include endnotes, rather than footnotes, and ensure that they are consistent in format. We strongly recommend that contributors use Chicago Style* for all citations. Contributors must clearly cite all direct quotes, statistics and ideas or arguments associated with other authors. Please also use appropriate accents for all historic names. All articles should be written using British, rather than American English spelling (ie: honour, not “honor,” and centre, not “center”).
Once submissions are received they will be reviewed by at least one academic in the field. If the piece is accepted for publication, the contributor will be notified of any required editing or other changes to the text. The Visegrad Review cannot return unpublished manuscripts.
