IJMS seeks to maintain a high standard of quality as well as readability. Given the inherently interdisciplinary nature of the journal, you should present your thoughts in a way that is open to readers not involved in your field. Essays, then, should be written in clear English in a style accessible to the broadest possible audience and should be no more than 5000 words.

Submission Procedure: You must query first. Before submitting an article for IJMS, please email the issue editor, Gary Kieffner, a 150-word abstract of the piece in the body of your email. Include a three- to four-sentence biography in the same email including, if appropriate, relevant publications and professional or other activities. Email: Kieffner@utep.edu.

The manuscript referred to in the query must not be previously published, nor should it be submitted for publication elsewhere while under review by the journal’s editorial board or outside readers. All essays will be subject to blind peer review.

The deadline for essays will be September 1, 2006.

Please send general queries or questions the Managing Editors, Suzanne Ferriss and Randy McBee, at ijms.nova.edu
