Description:

The Journal of Conflict Resolution is an interdisciplinary journal of social scientific research and theory on human conflict. The journal focuses largely on international conflict, but also explores a variety of national, intergroup and interpersonal conflicts.

For almost fifty years, the Journal of Conflict Resolution has provided scholars and researchers with the latest studies and theories on the causes of and solutions to the full range of human conflict, serving as a leading international forum for the systematic study of war and peace.

The Journal of Conflict Resolution cuts through the controversies and emotions that often surround conflict, and focuses instead on solid measurable facts and carefully reasoned arguments. The journal provides you with the latest ideas, approaches and processes in conflict resolution.

Committed to the belief that a thorough study of conflict resolution requires the concepts and theories from a variety of disciplines, the Journal of Conflict Resolution regularly features papers from the following areas: Political Science, Law, Economics, Sociology, International Relations, History, Psychology, Anthropology, and Methodology.

Manuscript Submission Guidelines:

Manuscripts should be submitted electronically at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jcr. Submitted papers should be double-spaced throughout, with footnotes, references, tables, and
graphs on separate pages, and should follow The Chicago Manual of Style (15th edition). Total word count, including everything, should be at a minimum about 8,000 and not exceed 12,000 words. The word count should appear on the title page. Manuscripts will be sent out anonymously for editorial evaluation, so the author's name and affiliation should appear only on a separate cover page; all other documents should be fully anonymized. Manuscripts should begin with an abstract of no more than 150 words.  A statement of our evaluation procedures appears in the March 1978 issue.

Submission of a manuscript implies commitment to publish in the journal. Authors submitting manuscripts to the journal should not simultaneously submit them to another journal, nor should manuscripts have been published elsewhere in substantially similar form or with substantially similar content. Authors in doubt about what constitutes prior publication should consult the editor.  

Replication Policy.

Authors of quantitative empirical articles must make their data and other relevant material available for replication purposes. Please note the firm JCR replication policy. The JCR will not publish any articles (in print or online) until the Editor has received all the necessary replication materials. Required material would include all data, specialized computer programs, program recodes, and an explanatory file describing what is included and how to reproduce the published results. This material must be posted by the month of publication. Information that must remain confidential--such as that which would identify survey respondents--should be removed. All files should be sent electronically to the Managing Editor at jcr.umd@gmail.com for posting alongside the electronic version of the article on the web site maintained by our publisher at http://jcr.sagepub.com/. In addition, authors may post their data files on their own websites or anywhere else they wish. Users of all data posted at the JCR SAGE web site will be expected to acknowledge the posting used.

Authors who want to refine the use of English in their manuscripts might consider utilizing the services of SPi, a non-affiliated company that offers Professional Editing Services to authors of journal articles in the areas of science, technology, medicine or the social sciences. SPi specializes in editing and correcting English-language manuscripts written by authors with a primary language other than English. Visit http://www.prof-editing.com for more information about SPi’s Professional Editing Services, pricing, and turn-around times, or to obtain a free quote or submit a manuscript for language polishing.

Please be aware that SAGE has no affiliation with SPi and makes no endorsement of the company. An author’s use of SPi’s services in no way guarantees that his or her submission will ultimately be accepted. Any arrangement an author enters into will be exclusively between the author and SPi, and any costs incurred are the sole responsibility of the author.
