_Journal of World-Systems Research_
Editorial Policy
The editorial policy of the _Journal of World-Systems Research_
is to develop and disseminate scholarly research on topics that are
relevant to the analysis of world-systems. We especially want to include
works that proceed from several different theoretical stances and
disciplines. These include, but are not limited to, civilizationists,
evolutionary approaches, international political economy, comparative
historical and cultural analysis. We seek the work of political
scientists, historians, sociologists, anthropologists, archaeologists,
economists and geographers.
We especially encourage works that take theory seriously by
confronting problems of conceptualization and making definitions of
concepts explicit, by formulating hypotheses, constructing axiomatic
theories and causal models. Theoretical research programs that combine
theory construction with comparative research are badly needed to take
the world-systems approach beyond the stage of a perspective.
We also want to encourage the application of comparative,
quantitative and network-analytic methods to world-systems research,
though we will certainly also publish pieces that do not use these
methods. Any empirical study that is deemed relevant to world- systems
analysis may be published even if it uses a very different conceptual
framework.
And finally, we also want to publish discussions of future
trajectories and options for the modern world-system and considerations
of what can be done to create a more humane, peaceful and just world
society.
The purposes of _JWSR_ are:
-to produce a high quality publication of world-systems research
articles using the advantages of the electronic medium;
-to publish quantitative and comparative research on world-
systems;
-to publish works of theory construction and codification of
causal propositions;
-to publish data sets in connection with articles; and
-to publish articles that are longer than those usually accepted
by hard copy journals
-to publish reviews of books relevant to world-systems studies
-to publish a forum for world-system relevant comments on
current issues
We do not want to take articles or subscribers away from _Review_ (the
Braudel Center journal), _Political Geography Quarterly_, the _Review of
International Political Economy_, or other hard copy journals that
publish world-systems research. Revised versions of articles published
in _JWSR_ can be republished in hard copy journals. Authors will be
requested to cite the versions published in _JWSR_.
Institutional Basis:
The institutional home of _JWSR_ is the Program in Comparative
International Development in the Department of Sociology at Johns
Hopkins University. It is also associated with WSN, an electronic
conferencing network located at Communications for a Sustainable Future
at the University of Colorado in Boulder. A proposed Center for Research
on World-Systems will become the eventual institutional home of _JWSR_.
Governance:
_JWSR_ is a self-published refereed journal under the control of the
Editor and the Editorial Board. The Associate Editors are consultants
who help to procure and evaluate articles for publication.
Operations:
The _JWSR_ will be published semiannually. Each regular article
published in the journal will be anonymously review by at least two
referees. Final decisions about publication will be made by the Editor.
Subscriptions:
Issues and single articles of _JWSR_ will be available free to the user
by ftp and gopher access from the World-Systems Archive at
csf.colorado.edu Subscribers to WSN, the world-system electronic
conferencing network, will receive regular notices about new issues of
_JWSR_. In the future we plan to produce an html (Mosaic) version of the
journal.
Copyright Policy:
The contents of _JWSR_ are for use by scholars and researchers and can
not be copied for commercial purposes. Authors retain the full
copyrights to their papers. Permissions to reprint must be obtained from
the authors. Authors are asked to cite their papers published in _JWSR_
if these or related versions are published elsewhere.
Submissions:
All articles must be submitted as machine-readable ASCII files that can
be easily transmitted over Internet. Wide margins are required because
e-mail screens are only 80 characters wide. Copy should be produced with
two-inch margins on the right and left. Every twenty lines should be
designated a page with a page marker included in the text at the
beginning of each new "page," e.g. [Page 2]. This is for purposes of
citation. Each article is paginated separately. Figures, tables and
graphics should be done as ASCII files to the extent possible and
included within the main document. If some ancillary materials such as
graphics cannot be produced as ASCII files they should be included in
binary file Appendices referenced from the main document. Authors are
encouraged to include separate Appendices that include data used in
their papers.
