Review Articles
Modernist Cultures will be publishing reviews of individual books, and most issues will also include one long review article that will concentrate on recent debates in a particular area of modernist studies. It is intended that these articles will provide a critical overview of several books and/or articles that have decisively altered understanding of some aspect of the field. Modernist Cultures does not review books written by members of its editorial board.
Peer Review Process
All articles accepted to be considered for possible publication are peer-reviewed through a blind reviewing process. All identifying marks should be removed from your submission. Do not include your name anywhere in your article (in running headers and footers, for example), and try as far as possible to remove it from your file Properties.
The review process normally takes approximately three months. Please note, manuscripts are reviewed on the understanding that they are not under submission elsewhere.
E-print
Authors will receive a pdf copy of their article and a 30-day access token to the journal online.
Open Access and Self-Archiving
All EUP journals are published on a Green Open Access basis, whereby authors are allowed to deposit a pre-publication version of their contribution on their personal or departmental web page and in their institutional repository. Authors are also permitted to deposit a pre-publication version of their contribution in a non-commercial subject repository one year following publication in print. The Version of Record of the article, as it appears in the journal following layout and proof correction, may not be deposited by authors in institutional repositories. Please visit our Copyright and Open Access Licenses page for full details of our self-archiving policy for all EUP journals.
Authors can also choose to pay a fee to make their article freely available online immediately via the EUP journals website through the Edinburgh Open scheme which provides an optional Gold Open Access route to publication in all Edinburgh University Press journals. Please visit our Open Access page for full information on the scheme.
