ISSUES IN INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE (IICJ)
The IICJ is the Journal of the International Criminal Court Student Network (ICCSN). It is edited and published jointly by the various chapters of the ICCSN at Cambridge University, the London School of Economics, and Duke University.
For the 2009 – 2010 academic year, the Journal will focus on articles relating to the recent history of the International Criminal Court, as well as articles discussing alternative models for dealing with international criminal justice (though articles on other topics will be considered).
SUBMISSIONS TO THE JOURNAL
Articles should be between 2000 and 5000 words long and submitted in an editable, unlocked Microsoft Word document. Note, however, that quality is the main focus, and not quantity. Submissions should be formatted in Times New Roman 12pt font, and double-spaced.
Submissions should be accompanied by a short biography of the author, including academic degrees, qualifications, and background. A short abstract for each article of several sentences should also be included.
If you have any concerns about the length of your article, or any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the editorial team at the address above.
PLEASE NOTE: Submission of a manuscript implies a commitment to publish in the IICJ if accepted. Authors should not simultaneously submit to other journals, nor should manuscripts have been published elsewhere in substantially similar form or content.
Authors will receive the result of the Editorial Board’s review by February 11th. If an article is accepted, authors will receive comments and requests for edits by February 25th, and will be expected to submit a final, revised article by March 11th.
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
Manuscripts will be reviewed by the IICJ Editorial Board. Authors will be notified of the result of the review at each level. When reviewing submissions, the editorial staff will focus primarily on the clarity of argument, writing style, and professional quality (including citations and references).
