Submission guidelines and review process

  • Doctoral manuscripts may be sent to the Managing Editor for an initial screening immediately after the positive assessment by the doctoral committee and admission to the defence, and even before the final defence takes place.
  • Manuscripts shall not exceed 200,000 words (including footnotes and bibliography). The candidate may submit a longer manuscript but with a commitment to reduce it to the maximum threshold before it is sent for external peer review. Feedback from any of the internal editorial review or external peer review stages often requires further amendments to the manuscript, in addition to those that the candidate implements following the advice received during the defence.
  • No fee is charged to authors for submission or production.
  • Submissions will be run through plagiarism detection software, in accordance with IBFD’s Plagiarism Policy.
  • Information on IBFD’s author guidelines and editorial policies can be found here.
