Publishing in IBFD's Journals
In-depth articles and developments
IBFD's journals examine important international tax developments and issues of interest to our vast global readership. We welcome original and previously unpublished contributions, which will be of interest to an international readership of tax professionals, tax lawyers, executives and scholars. IBFD's journals aim to give as much variety as possible to its readers in terms of countries, topics and authors.
Submission guidelines
Manuscripts should be sent with a covering letter, together with an abstract (maximum 75 words), a biography and current affiliations. Please send this by e-mail to the editor, with all attachments in Microsoft Word format. The abstract is essential, because it is used in many ways: Table of Contents, Journal Preview (our current awareness service), result lists in IBFD's online search engine (Content Search), external websites, marketing campaigns, etc.
Delivering a manuscript does not automatically lead to publication of the manuscript. The editor will review the manuscript and will determine whether it is suitable for publication. Manuscripts accepted for publication in the journal will be subject to editorial review (both linguistic and content editing) and revision. The editor reserves the right to make amendments, which may be appropriate prior to publication.
