Critical Studies on Terrorism is an international, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal. The journal seeks to publish quality research on all aspects of terrorism, counter-terrorism and state terror. All submitted manuscripts are subject to an initial anonymized peer -review by the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to a second peer -review by independent, anonymous expert referees. Submission is by email.
Critical Studies on Terrorism aims to create space for robust, innovative research on terrorism and political violence, and encourages fruitful intellectual engagement between critical and orthodox accounts of terrorism. In particular, the Editors are looking for empirical, theoretical and policy-oriented articles that recognise the inherently problematic nature of the terrorism label, employ a critical-normative perspective broadly defined, and challenge accepted orthodoxies. Research on terrorism employing methodological and disciplinary perspectives from outside the political science and international relations paradigms is especially encouraged.
Critical Studies on Terrorism provides a forum for the publication of original theoretical and empirical research articles, disciplinary debates and assessments, editorial commentary, special issues and sections, research notes, announcements and book reviews.
Critical Studies on Terrorism will be of interest to practitioners and scholars from a wide variety of disciplines, including: political science, security studies, international relations, sociology, psychology, history, applied philosophy, religious studies, law, criminology, anthropology, communication, media studies, cultural studies, gender studies, conflict resolution, development studies and area studies, among others.
Peer Review
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by two editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, research articles are then subject to peer review by two or more independent, anonymous expert referees. Review articles, commentaries and book reviews are reviewed by the journal editors only. All peer review is double anonymized and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts. For special issues and special sections, peer review is the responsibility of the guest editors, but journal support is available and final manuscripts are reviewed by the editors before final acceptance.
