2. Article Types

Articles

Articles, whether using primarily quantitative or qualitative methods or mixed methods, are equally welcome provided that they focus on substantive issues to do with nations and nationalism and are accessible to the broad readership of the journal. Articles should be between 7,000 and 10,000 words.

Themed Sections

The articles making up a themed section must be more than the sum of their parts. The original proposal should explain how the section breaks new ground (theoretical and/or empirical), how the individual articles cohere together and the methods and sources employed. These points should also be made in the introduction to a themed section. That introduction should also include an explicit discussion of concepts if the various contributors differ on their use. A section will not normally contain more than six articles.

Book Reviews

Reviews should not exceed 800 words. Please note that the publication of reviews submitted to the Journal is at the editor’s discretion. The editor’s decision will be final. Reviews should be set in double line spacing. The reviewer’s name and institution should be placed at the end of the review on the right hand side of the page. Any references should be incorporated into the text of the review.

For all correspondence, please email nationsreview@asen.ac.uk.

The name/s of author/s of the book should be quoted at the top of the first page followed by the full title and subtitle of the book, the publisher, year of publication, number of pages and price (paperback/hardback):

Daphne Halikiopoulou and Sofia Vasilopoulou (eds.). 2011. Nationalism and Globalisation: Conflicting or Complimentary? London: Routledge. 197 pp. £ 23.99 (pbk), £ 85(hbk).

Viewpoint Articles

Occasionally the journal publishes articles which express an author’s particular viewpoint on a topic or theoretical issues under the heading “Viewpoint”.

Viewpoint articles are commissioned and reviewed by the editors. The normal length for Viewpoint Articles will be 3,000-7,000 words (including notes and references).

Review Articles

A review article should not simply be longer than a single book review but qualitatively different. Normally a review article would consider more than one book. In doing so it should not be a series of separate reviews but conceived as an article which examines themes and debates in the particular field treated by the books under review.

In exceptional cases a review article could focus on a single book. The book in question would need to be an especially significant publication. The article in turn should relate the book to other recent literature in the field and examine the distinctive contribution it makes within that field.

Review articles are reviewed by the editors. The normal length for review articles will be 2,000 and 3,000 words (including notes and references).

Research Notes

The journal also publishes Research Notes. Research Notes are shorter than regular articles, seeking to advance a new argument, theoretical perspective, or methodological approach in the study of nationalism.

Research notes should be between 3,000-5,000 words (including notes and references).

General Nations and Nationalism guidelines with regards to manuscript preparation and submission apply, and Research Notes will be refereed in the usual way.

Scholarly Exchange

The purpose of the Scholarly Exchange feature is to publish discussions that engage, advance and initiate new debates in the study of nations and nationalism. It aims to serve as a platform that fosters provoking conversations from diverse perspectives that speak to contemporary moments and phenomena. We are keen to invite academics at various stages of their career with expertise in a broad range of social sciences to contribute to Scholarly Exchange.

Scholarly Exchange will normally consist of four contributions, perhaps including one or two of the Journals Editorial Team, on cutting-edge scholarly questions or a contemporary global concern related to the study of nations and nationalism. At least one of the editorial team will work out a series of questions with the contributors and introduce the feature. Each contribution to the discussion will amount to approximately 2,000 words (including endnotes and references), so that the total length of the feature will be about 8,000-10,000 words.

Review process: The Scholarly Exchange section will be reviewed by two members of the Editorial Team.
