Author Guidelines

The Intergenerational Justice Review can no longer accept unsolicited submissions of articles. However, those researching and writing on topics related to intergenerational justice should look out for the biennial Intergenerational Justice Prize, endowed with 10,000 Euros. Winning articles in this prize are considered for publication in the journal.

Unlike articles, the IGJR does consider publishing academic book reviews of recent literature relating to intergenerational justice. If you wish to submit a book review for consideration, please read the sections in the Author Guidelines relating to citation and writing style. Please also refer to our Guidelines for Book Reviewers. Potential book reviewers need to register with the journal prior to submitting or, if already registered, can simply log in and begin the five-step process.

Author guidelines: For a detailed style guide for authors, including an overview of how to cite various types of sources, please click here. These authors guidelines are relevant for authors submitting to the Intergenerational Justice Prize and for authors of commissioned articles. Pages 2-7, relating to style, punctuation, and citations are also relevant for book reviewers.

Please make sure to anonymise your paper before submitting it to us. For useful guidelines on how to do so, please click here (external link to Taylor & Francis, no affiliation with IGJR).
