About the journal
Aims and Scope
What is Literature Compass?
Literature Compass offers the quality and rigour of a scholarly journal, combined with a commitment to examining developing scholarly directions, as well as the speed and functionality of electronic publishing.
Commissioned from leading researchers, Literature Compass articles are distinguished from those of traditional journals by combining original research and analysis with a broader expertise and understanding of how that fits—as both contribution and intervention—in the authors’ fields or sub-fields. Because the journal publishes peer-reviewed, state-of-the-field articles on a continual, monthly basis, it is unencumbered by rigid publishing timelines, ensuring that topical and significant research reaches the public effectively and efficiently.
Literature Compass adheres to the same quality control procedures as for any Wiley journal, both in terms of editorial and production standards.
Literature Compass articles allow established as well as junior scholars and advanced students to:
- keep up with the newest developments and trends in research
- teach in a new or unfamiliar area outside of their speciality
- find high-quality, peer-reviewed online content quickly and accessibly
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Policy
Literature Compass is committed to publishing scholarship that respects diversity. We seek to work with scholars from a range of institutional affiliations, nationalities, and career stages. We encourage submissions from scholars who belong to groups which are often underrepresented within academia, due to race, nationality, ethnicity, gender identity, disability, or other protected characteristics. We encourage all Literature Compass authors to engage with and cite sources by scholars and other writers from groups which are often excluded from or marginalised within academia. To this end, we ask reviewers to consider, among other evaluation criteria, whether the citations for a given submission reflect the journal's commitment to diversity. We expect editors, including those of special issues, to consider the balance of voices represented in their commissioning work and to actively seek contributions from scholars who belong to underrepresented groups.
Author Benefits
Benefits for authors include:
- Article published within 12-16 weeks after acceptance
- A citable, peer-reviewed article, with a permanent DOI
- International exposure / broad readership
- PDF offprint
The Literature Compass Audience
The Literature Compass audience covers a wide range, from research and teaching faculty, graduate students to advanced undergraduates – from potentially any area of the discipline. This is a distinguishing feature of the journal, and a benefit to authors in terms of enhanced and breadth of exposure. You are writing for your peers, but also for researchers and students from unrelated areas. It is therefore crucial that Literature Compass articles always remain accessible to non-specialists. The writing should be authoritative and lively.
Article Length and Scope
In general, articles should run between 3000-5000 words (excluding references). Longer articles can be considered at the Section Editor’s discretion. The Section Editor will agree the topic of your article with you before you begin to write your piece.
The writing style should be crisp, concise and informative, while adhering to the quality and standard of an expert research paper. Remember: you are writing for non-specialists from many different areas. Your article will be their gateway into a new subject. Your aim is to engage as well as inform the reader.
Articles will fall into at least one of the following three categories and will answer one or more of the questions below:
- Recent research and debates in your field – What debates are driving your field? What new research has been published? What does it add to these debates or the field more generally? Can you put that new research in context? Does a new school of thought or paradigm seem to be developing? Has a new controversy erupted?
- Comparative look across sections or boundaries – Are there related things happening in different fields? Can you suggest comparisons that have not been fully explored? Can one area provide an insight into another when used in teaching or research?
- State of the field – Can you offer a fresh perspective on developments in your field? Perhaps there are arguments or fads drawing attention away from what you think are the critical points? Perhaps the field is stagnating? Are students and teachers flocking to or fleeing from your field? Is your area well and fairly covered in the media? Are there resources or archives that are new or underused and are worthy of attention? Has the field been affected by or is it impacting on current affairs?
Articles submitted to Literature Compass should not have been previously published or accepted to be published elsewhere. Papers presented at a conference or symposium may be accepted for publication by agreement with the relevant editor.
If you have not already done so, please feel free to visit the journal homepage, where you can see the most recent articles that have been published.

Open Access
This journal is a subscription journal that offers an open access option. You'll have the option to choose to make your article open access after acceptance, which will be subject to an APC. You can read more about APCs and whether you may be eligible for waivers or discounts through your institution, funder, or a country waiver.
Preprint policy:

Wiley's Preprints Policy statement for subscription/hybrid open access journals
Literature Compass will consider for review articles previously available as preprints. You may also post the submitted version of a manuscript to a preprint server at any time. You are requested to update any pre-publication versions with a link to the final published article.
This journal operates a double-blind peer review process. Authors are responsible for anonymizing their manuscript in order to remain anonymous to the reviewers throughout the peer review process (see “Main Text File” below for more details). Since the journal also encourages posting of preprints, however, please note that if authors share their manuscript in preprint form this may compromise their anonymity during peer review.

This journal encourages data sharing. Review Wiley’s Data Sharing policy where you will be able to see and select the data availability statement that is right for your submission.
Data Citation

Funding
You should list all funding sources in the Acknowledgments section. You are responsible for the accuracy of their funder designation. If in doubt, please check the Open Funder Registry for the correct nomenclature.

Main Text File
For journals operating a double-blind peer review process, please ensure that all identifying information such as author names and affiliations, acknowledgements or explicit mentions of author institution in the text are on a separate page.

The main text file should be in Word or PDF format and include:
- A short informative title containing the major key words. The title should not contain abbreviations
- The full names of the authors with institutional affiliations where the work was conducted, with a footnote for the author’s present address if different from where the work was conducted;
- Acknowledgments;
- Abstract

Peer Review
This journal operates under a double-blind peer review model. Papers will only be sent to review if the Editor-in-Chief determines that the paper meets the appropriate quality and relevance requirements.
In-house submissions, i.e. papers authored by Editors or Editorial Board members of the title, will be sent to Editors unaffiliated with the author or institution and monitored carefully to ensure there is no peer review bias.
Wiley's policy on the confidentiality of the review process is available here.
Guidelines on Publishing and Research Ethics in Journal Articles
The journal requires that you include in the manuscript details IRB approvals, ethical treatment of human and animal research participants, and gathering of informed consent, as appropriate. You will be expected to declare all conflicts of interest, or none, on submission. Please review Wiley’s policies surrounding human studies, animal studies, clinical trial registration, biosecurity, and research reporting guidelines.
This journal follows the core practices of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and handles cases of research and publication misconduct accordingly (https://publicationethics.org/core-practices).
This journal uses iThenticate’s CrossCheck software to detect instances of overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscripts. Read Wiley’s Top 10 Publishing Ethics Tips for Authors and Wiley’s Publication Ethics Guidelines.
