CERC Working Paper Guidelines

The Contemporary Europe Research Centre (CERC) aims to publish high-quality original research, based on work in progress, on issues related to Europe. The CERC Working Papers Series is peer-reviewed.

Guidelines for submitting a Working Paper

1. Papers should be approximately 8,000-14,000 words long.

2. Papers should be typed and 1.5-spaced on A4.

3. Endnotes rather than footnotes should be used.

4. Authors' names and affiliations should appear only on the cover of the manuscript, so that they can be detached prior to sending it to referees.

5. Each manuscript should be accompanied by an abstract of 150-200 words.

6. Endnotes should be kept to a minimum.

7. Please indicate word length and inclusion of any diagrams or tables.

8. All references should be listed alphabetically at the end of the paper.

9. For journal articles, the volume and issue number, and month and year of publication should be provided.

10. Please submit 3 copies of your paper with a disk in Word or convertible format.

11. The Working Paper may be work in progress, which you are considering submitting elsewhere at a later stage (though you should refer to this earlier version in your finalised paper).

12. All papers will be evaluated by two anonymous referees. The Editors act on the basis of referral reports, but retain final discretion in the decision to publish.

13. Authors receive 4 free copies of the Working Paper, and are able to purchase further copies at a discounted price.

14. CERC Working Papers are posted on the Web in the year following publication in a freely available pdf format.

For more information, please contact Ms Linelle Gibson, CERC Manager.
