About the journal
The IJCV is a forum for scientific exchange and public dissemination of up-to-date scientific knowledge on conflict and violence. The IJCV is peer reviewed, open access and included in the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI).
The subjects on which we concentrate—conflict and violence—have always been a concern in many areas of academic life. Consequently, the journal encompasses contributions from a wide range of disciplines including sociology, political science, education, social psychology, criminology, ethnology, history, political philosophy, urban studies, economics, and the study of religions.
The IJCV is published twice a year, in spring and in autumn. In order to promote debate on questions that often tend to be unfairly marginalized, each issue begins with a focus section featuring contributions addressing a selected field of topical interest. Examples are given below. These subjects are announced in advance on our website and in calls for papers. Each issue of the journal also contains an open section to provide a platform for general contributions on conflict and violence. Identical criteria of scientific eligibility apply to both sections.
The topics we address will include e. g.:
- terrorism
- anti-semitism
- hate crimes
- prejudice
- discrimination
- human rights
- the exercise and experience of violence
- inter-group violence
- conflicts over religious symbols
- women and violence
- violence against the aged
- youth violence
- language conflicts
- ethnic wars
- conflict mediation
- evaluation of anti-violence programs
Contributions should include empirical findings and/or advances in theory.
While the findings published in the IJCV are mainly generated by researchers, the journal’s target readership also includes other interested members of civil society and state and government institutions.
Dissemination of knowledge is undergoing rapid change, and the inadequacies of conventional printed media for communication within the scientific community and beyond its borders are rapidly becoming apparent. Conventional printing and distribution of a journal consumes scarce financial and human resources and restricts access to subscribers only. We believe that open access electronic publication is the best response to the demand for swift, open, and free dissemination of knowledge as a common good.
Though originating from Europe, IJCV’s scope is global. In a polyglot world, language barriers are serious obstacles to communication. Until now, many non-English speaking authors in the field of conflict and violence research—despite closely following the international publications and often studying similar phenomena in different national settings—have been unable to convey their own findings to the international scientific community and have been confined to national readerships. We wish to give our forum the widest possible impact and accessibility so, recognizing that English has become the medium of international communication in almost all humanities and sciences, we publish articles in English only. We will—within our available means—provide editing and translation assistance for qualified contributions, in order to avoid putting at a disadvantage those who are not native speakers of English. Please contact the editors for details.
Instructions to Authors
Author Guidelines
Please thoroughly read the author guidelines. Note that not following the instructions resp giving wrong indiciations in the submission preperation list will most likely lead to the rejection of a submission without further evaluation!
Submissions are accepted online only. The language of the International Journal of Conflict and Violence is English. We accept American or British spelling and terminology, with one or other followed consistently throughout the manuscript.
Articles should preferably not exceed 55,500 characters incl. spaces.
Review Criteria
All submitted manuscripts will be subject to a stepwise review process and will be checked by the editoral staff first whether they meet with IJCV's aims, scope and standards, before they might enter the official and standardized double-blind peer review process and be evaluated by at least two experts in the field, following established criteria of scientific eligibility, which are:
- Pertinence to the Focus of the Journal
- Importance of Findings (Is the "value added" significant?)
- Adequacy of Literature Review
- Methodological Adequacy
- Clarity of Presentation (concepts, clarity of objectives, organisation of the manuscript)
- Validity of Conclusion
Manuscript Presentation and Structure
Manuscripts should be submitted in Microsoft Word or RTF file formats. Please do not submit PDF files.
The text should be double-spaced, and uses a 12-point font and employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses). All illustrations, figures, and tables should be placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.

Sections
Number all sections and subsections as follows:
1. A-Level Subhead
1.1. B-Level Subhead
1.1.1. C-Level Subhead
We prefer the introduction to begin without a subhead.
Figures
All figures should be numbered in one consecutive series of Arabic numerals.
Tables
