The EPSR is not concerned solely with European political issues nor exclusively for Carlos Closa, Instituto de Políticas y Bienes Públicos (IPP) at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) European scholars. We attempt to appeal to as wide and diverse a readership as possible. This readership may include Calle Albasanz 26-28 28037 Madrid, Spain both scholars and practitioners. Therefore articles should be written in as accessible a manner as possible with a minimum of Matt Qvortrup, Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations, IV5 Innovation Village, jargon and insider language. Cheetah Road, Coventry CV1 2TL, United Kingdom In addition to our primary concern with the quality of the articles to be published in the EPSR, there are several additional considerations for prospective authors: MANAGING ASSOCIATE EDITOR 1) EPSR will consider only original work for publication in the Journal. Any manuscript that contains extensive material – Karim Knio, Erasmus University, The Netherlands text, tables, figures – that has been published elsewhere is not suitable for the EPSR. One possible exception to this rule would be for articles that will appear in edited books, whether in whole or in part, at least six months after the appearance of the issue of the Journal. ASSOCIATE EDITORS 2) The EPSR does not consider manuscripts that are under consideration for other journals, or articles that are derived Sarah Birch, University of Glasgow, UK directly from books under consideration elsewhere. We will ask any authors to confirm that the manuscript is not being Avigail Eisenberg, University of Victoria, Canada submitted elsewhere. If you have questions about this policy in respect to individual manuscripts please contact the editors. Elisabeth Gidengil, McGill University, Canada 3) In so far as possible, the research methods and evidence used in manuscripts should be discussed in sufficient detail to allow other scholars to understand and replicate any findings. This requirement is more easily understood in reference EDITORIAL ASSISTANT to quantitative research, whether with aggregate data, survey data or experiments, but should also be followed with Zuzana Novakova, International Institute of Social Studies (ISS), Erasmus University Rotterdam, respect to qualitative analysis. We welcome authors to make their data sets available in the Cambridge University The Netherlands Press website for purposes of replication. 4) The EPSR uses the conventional double-blind process of peer review. Therefore, we request that you remove all references and citations that would identify the authors. If this is not done adequately we will return the manuscript to EDITORIAL BOARD you for amendments. In addition to obvious mentions of previous publications by the authors, anonymity should be Stefano Bartolini (RSCAS at European University Helen Milner (Princeton University, USA) ensured by removing thanks to colleagues, references to own websites, etc. Institute, Italy) Pippa Norris (Harvard University, USA) 5) The EPSR accepts only electronic submissions.
