About the journal
Focus and Scope
The Austrian Journal of Political Science (OZP) is a peer-reviewed journal. Articles from all areas of political science are welcome, including any approach or method. Contributions from other fields and disciplines are also welcome, as long as they show a genuine interest in political issues. While the journal has a focus on issues concerning Austria and Central Europe, it also accepts articles that address, entirely or in part, other topics/other polities.
The Austrian Journal of Political Science is registered in the Social Science Citation Index and in SCOPUS.
Peer Review Process
Every manuscript submitted to the OZP will be evaluated independently by at least two peers (double-blind peer review).
To avoid potential conflicts of interest, neither department colleagues, nor (previous) collaborators of an author are permitted to review a submitted paper. Potential reviewers are encouraged to inform the editor in case of any doubt.
To avoid scientific misconduct, the OZP follows a three-fold approach:
a) Upon submission, authors have to declare that this paper is based on their own research, and is an original, unpublished contribution by signing the copyright agreement. The journal holds authors solely responsible in cases of plagiarism.
b) The responsible editor, together with the assistant editors, scrutinizes each submitted paper before putting it into review. In difficult cases, the editor will seek advise from the editorial board.
c) The reviewers are asked to highlight any suspicion regarding potential plagiarism. In cases of doubt, final decision on publication of an article will be made by the responsible editor.
Publication Frequency
The OZP is published four times a year: In March, June, September, and December.
Open Access Policy
This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
Archiving
This journal utilizes the LOCKSS system to create a distributed archiving system among participating libraries and permits those libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for purposes of preservation and restoration. More...
Instructions to Authors
Author Guidelines
1. Submission of manuscripts
An article submitted to the Austrian Journal of Political Science must be an original, unpublished manuscript which is not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Submission
- Complete manuscripts can only be submitted online through our journal management software as MS-Word-doc-, docx- or RTF-file.
- The manuscript will be reviewed anonymously (double-blind).
- The final version of the manuscript must correspond with the reviewers’ recommendations.
2. Length, format and contents of manuscripts
The length of submitted articles must not exceed 7,000 words or 55,000 characters (with spaces, notes, tables/figures and references). Discussion papers must not be longer than 3,500 words or 25,000 characters (with spaces).
Manuscripts should be composed of the following elements:
- Contact information: The cover letter of the author should provide postal and e-mail addresses, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address.
- Main text: The article should use the A4 format, be double spaced (preferably 30 lines per page with 60 letters each) and with broad margins. Leave the right margins ragged and avoid word divisions and hyphens at the ends of lines. Italics may be used for emphasis, however in moderation.
- Gender-neutral language should be maintained consistently throughout the manuscript.
- Orthography: German articles must use the orthographical rules that came into effect on 1 August 1998.
- Tables/Figures: Tables and figures should not be included within the pages of the main text, but placed on separate pages at the end of the text. They should be numbered consecutively and include a short descriptive heading and information about the sources used. Indicate where the tables and figures should be placed in the final text (e. g. "Table 3 about here").
- Notes: The notes should be brief and formatted as endnotes, at the end of the main text on separate pages and numbered consecutively (footnotes should be avoided).
- References: The list of references should include all works referred to in the text in the bibliographical information following tables and figures, or in the notes. For more detailed guidelines concerning references and citations, see point 3 and 4 below.
- Abstracts: The manuscript should come with two abstracts, one in English and one (if possible) in German. The abstract must be a self-contained text, with about 10-15 lines (not exceeding 800 characters).
- Keywords: Please submit 4 to 6 keywords in English and (if possible) in German.
- Short title: Please submit a short title for your paper (for the header of the article).
- Short biographical note: Together with the manuscript a short biographical note about the author should be provided (year of birth, institutional affiliation, main research interests, address for correspondence, e-mail address).
3. Citations
Use quotation marks for directly cited phrases or sentences within the text. Direct citations of over three lines in length should be indented and quotation marks removed.
References must be integrated into the text following the Harvard system of referencing, providing (in brackets) the name of the author/editor, the publication year and the page number(s).
Examples:
- Reference to one author/editor: "(Lijphart 1984)" or "(Lijphart 1984, 15)"
