Contributor Guidelines

The journal invites articles from academics, journalists and specialists in areas covered by the journal.

It favours succinct, detailed pitches as opposed to finished articles. In principle, Near East Quarterly will still consider completed articles.

Each piece should be of a minimum of 1,200 words and a maximum of 3,000 words.

The journal intends its readership to be knowledgeable but non-specialist.

Near East Quarterly is not a peer-review journal but requests that contributors follow the Chicago Manual of Style. In doing so, contributors should provide endnotes and include a bibliography, where necessary. Please see: http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html.

The editors must have received submissions by the 15th of the preceding month of each issue (i.e. July, October, January and April), with issues being uploaded to the journal’s website four weeks later at www.neareastquarterly.com.

Near East Quarterly asks that prospective contributors refer to articles already published for an indication of the thematic and stylistic preferences of the journal.

Pitches must be accompanied by brief biographies (and/or personal web pages), which should include previous publications, if relevant.

All articles are protected by a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License.

Photojournalists can email ideas for Near East Quarterly’s Photo Essay section, along with examples of previously published work. Photos for publication on the journal should be no bigger than 500Kb in size.
