Special Issue

Sometimes, special issues are proposed by guest editors who have already procured articles from authors on a particular theme and wish to publish them as a group. Special issues often arise out of conferences or scholarly working groups.

Book Review Essays

Book review essays offer substantive analysis of at least two but no more than five recently published books that are related in theme or method. Review essays describe the content of the books in question, but they focus on comparing and contrasting key issues and questions that are raised by the authors or are suggested by their work. Book review essays will be assessed by JFR staff rather than sent out for external review.

Peer Review Process

We welcome papers that are written in clear English and are consistent with the JFR style guide. All submissions receive an internal editorial review, and those with promise are sent for double-blind expert review. We strive to complete the review process within three months of receipt, but many submissions are reviewed more quickly. Due to circumstances beyond our control, on occasion the review process might take longer than the typical three months.
