About the journal
Aims & Scope
The British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies is a refereed academic journal published for the British Society for Middle Eastern Studies (popularly known as BRISMES). Founded in 1974 as the BRISMES Bulletin, the British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies assumed its present title in 1991 reflecting its growth into a fully-fledged scholarly journal.
The editors aim to maintain a balance in the journal's coverage between the modern social sciences and the more traditional disciplines associated with Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies. They welcome scholarly contributions on all aspects of the Middle East from the end of classical antiquity and the rise of Islam. Articles on the language, literature, history, politics, economics, anthropology, sociology, geography, and the religions and cultures of the region are encouraged.
The British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies also includes a vigorous review section covering publications on all subjects connected with the Middle East. This incorporates a wide range of reference and bibliographical material seldom reviewed elsewhere.
Peer Review Statement
All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening, anonymisation of submitted articles and refereeing by two referees who themselves remain anonymous.
All review papers, book reviews and guest lectures printed in this journal have undergone editorial screening.

Instructions to Authors
Contributors are expected to make an original and scholarly contribution to their fields of study. The notes for contributors should be read carefully before submitting a manuscript. Those manuscripts that do not conform to the following guidelines will be returned to the author.
Manuscripts should be written in UK English and sent to Professor Ian Richard Netton, British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies, Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, University of Exeter, Stocker Road, Exeter, Devon EX4 4ND, UK (email: I.Netton@exeter.ac.uk). Three complete copies of the manuscript should be submitted, double-spaced with ample margins, and typed on one side of the paper only, together with an electronic version in Microsoft Word on a standard 3.5 inch high-density disk. Please note that many word processing programmes do not auto-format the footnotes and authors are responsible for ensuring that the footnotes are double-spaced and in 12 point font. To guarantee anonymity, authors should include a separate title page with their name, full postal address and email address. The title alone should appear on the top of the first page of the article. In the final draft, the article title should be followed by the author's name, with a footnote denoting institutional affiliation and location. All submissions will be seen anonymously by two referees, although the Editor reserves the right to decide on the suitability of the subject matter in the first instance. Contributors should bear in mind that they are addressing an international audience.
Manuscript length. Manuscripts should be a maximum of 8,000 words, not including references and the bibliography for articles, appendices, etc. In exceptional cases the Editor will accept up to 10,000 words for an article, but a very strong case must be made why it cannot conform to the 8,000 word maximum limit. Book reviews are welcomed at the discretion of the Reviews Editor, with a suggested word limit of 1,500 words. The manuscript should be accompanied by an abstract of 100-50 words.
Footnotes and text citation. All notes in the text should appear as footnotes. They should be numbered consecutively throughout the text. The abbreviation "p." or "pp." is used to denote page numbers in footnotes. For articles in which the footnotes contain full bibliographical information, only the first citation of a work should be given in full. When references to the same work follow without interruption, use ibid. When notes to the same work follow after interruption, use the author's last name and a shortened title of the book or article; do not use op. cit. Please print footnotes in a minimum of a 12 point double-space font.
The style of textual citations and references should conform to the following examples:
Textual citations
E.H. Carr, A History of Soviet Russia (Socialism in One Country), Vol. III (London: Macmillan, 1964), p. 649.
Michael Palumbo, Imperial Israel (London: Bloomsbury, 1992), p. 28.
The Times (4 October 1932), p. 5.
Shlomo Slonim, 'Origins of the 1950 Tripartite Declaration on the Middle East', Middle Eastern Studies, 23 (1987), pp. 135-149.
References. For articles in which a list of references is given on the final text page, the entries should be listed under 'References'. Please list all references alphabetically by author. Where more than one work is cited for an individual author, these works should be listed chronologically. For references please observe the following: (a) list all collaborators on the book or article; (b) give complete information about periodical data such as volume, month, page numbers, series; (c) do not use abbreviations for titles of journals.

Quotations. Short quotations within the text should appear within quotation marks; longer quotations should be indented about 2 cm along the left margin. Words, punctuation, or italicization not present in the original should be contained within square brackets or noted as 'emphasis added'.
Transliteration. BJMES follows the transliteration system of IJMES (see back of IJMES for further details).
All Arabic, Turkish (modern or Ottoman) and Persian words should be transliterated with diacritical marks (macrons and dots), EXCEPT the following:
1. Personal names (e.g. Ayman Sidiqi)
2. Place names (e.g. Shibin al-Qum)
3. Names of political parties (e.g. al-Tagammu', al-Ba'th)
4. Titles of books/newspapers/magazines (e.g. Ru'ya islamiyya Mu'asira, Ruz al-Yusif, Al-Ahrar)
The above should be transliterated according to the transliteration system but WITHOUT diacriticals. 'Ayn and hamza should be shown (since these are letters not diacriticals). Except for proper names and book titles or where a letter falls at the beginning of a sentence or footnote, transliteration terms are NOT capitalized.
Other exceptions: Names of people and places that possess a Europeanized version are not transliterated, e.g. Gamal Adbel Nasser, Boumedienne, Basra, Suez.
Terms found in a good English dictionary (such as, the Oxford) are not transliterated not italicized, e.g. ulema, qadi, madrasa, Hadith, Sunna, fatwa, jihad, Quran, and so forth.
Authors should ensure that this system is followed closely and accurately. All authors are responsible for the consistency and accuracy of their transliteration. Manuscripts that do not conform to these requirements will be returned to the author for immediate revision. Authors should also ensure that they distinguish between the hamza, 'ayn, and the apostrophe in the text.
Tables and captions to illustrations. Tables must be typed out on separate sheets and not included as part of the text. The captions to illustrations should be gathered together and also typed out on a separate sheet. Tables should be numbered by Roman numerals, and figures by Arabic numerals. The approximate position of tables and figures should be indicated in the manuscript. Captions should include keys to symbols.
Figures. Please supply one set of artwork in a finished form, suitable for reproduction. If this is not possible, figures will be redrawn by publishers.
Free article access: Corresponding authors can receive 50 free reprints, free online access to their article through our website (www.informaworld.com) and a complimentary copy of the issue containing their article. Complimentary reprints are available through Rightslink and additional reprints can be ordered through Rightslink when proofs are received. If you have any queries, please contact our reprints department at reprints@tandf.co.uk

This enables us to ensure full copyright protection and to disseminate the article, and of course the Journal, to the widest possible readership in print and electronic formats as appropriate.
