About This Journal

Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal (GSP) publishes empirical and theoretical work that deals with collective violence- with a focus on genocides. It promotes the scholarly discussion of concepts and cases that address the causes (roots) occurrences, consequences, and the prevention and punishment of such violence. This peer-reviewed journal publishes articles on the latest developments in policy, research, and theory from various disciplines and fields including anthropology, criminology, education, gender studies, history, law, literature, philosophy, political science, psychology, religious studies, social theory, sociology, and visual culture. It features full research and state of the field articles, (legal) case studies, field notes, translations of important works from languages other than English, as well as book and film reviews.

Review Process by the Editorial Board
The Editorial Board assesses all submissions first. In order to be reviewed at all, submissions must follow the GSP Submission Guidelines.

After internal review, the Editorial Board will determine if the submission should be sent for peer review. For submissions that are sent out for peer review, the Editorial Board will assess the reviews and provide feedback to the authors, which may include revisions by the author. The Editorial Board retains the final say on acceptance of a submission for publication, which may include a request for further revisions subsequent to the peer review revisions.

Peer-Review Process
All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed. The editors will refer articles that are of sufficient quality and germane to genocide studies and/or the focus of a special issue to peer reviewers. The editors reserve the right not to refer a submission if, in their opinion, the article does not meet the basic standards of the journal. This is out of respect for the time of reviewers. If manuscripts are judged to be of sufficient scholarly quality, they will be reviewed by at least two experts in the field (double blind), whose expertise is germane to the focus of the manuscript.

As an open access publication, GSP is in line with requirements of European institutions that fund research as the programs of the European Union.
