About the journal
In recent years, there has been an exponential growth of interest in the study and practice of human rights. The cultural discourse of human rights has become increasingly globalized and now serves as the basis for legal and normative frameworks and social relations in a variety of geographical, social, and cultural settings. In addition, new social organizations and forms of political action are grounded in the idea of human rights. Scholarship on key issues in human rights has also burgeoned and includes scholars from a wide range of perspectives and disciplines.
The Journal of Human Rights serves as an arena for the public discussion and scholarly analysis of human rights, broadly conceived. It seeks to broaden the study of human rights by fostering the critical re-examination of existing approaches to human rights, as well as to develop new perspectives on the theory and practice of human rights. The journal provides the opportunity for the critical examination of the human rights community and of the different visions of human rights and different practical strategies which exist within that community. The editor welcomes papers from scholars and disciplines traditionally associated with the study of human rights, as well as papers from those in other disciplines or fields of inquiry which have traditionally been underrepresented in the field of human rights. The Journal of Human Rights is committed to theoretical and ideological diversity in the study of human rights. The editor welcomes ideas for special issues, symposia, and reviews from scholars and practitioners of human rights.

The Journal of Human Rights receives all manuscript submissions electronically via its ScholarOne Manuscripts site located at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cjhr .

For more information, visit the journal’s website at http://jhr.uconn.edu/ . As an author, you are required to secure permission if you want to reproduce any figure, table, or extract from the text of another source. This applies to direct reproduction as well as "derivative reproduction" (where you have created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source). Manuscripts should be arranged as follows:
- Title page, to include the name, affiliation, and contact information, including fax and telephone numbers, of the author(s). The name(s) of the author(s) should not appear on the manuscript itself.
- Brief biography of the author(s) (on its own page, separate from the title and abstract).
- Abstract of the article. (Also on its own page, separate from the title and biography)
- Text, Endnotes, Bibliography: the full citation for all sources referenced in the paper should be listed in alphabetical order after the endnotes section.
Presentation:
All copy should be typed with left justification, and with no hyphenation. For spelling, punctuation, and style, refer to the American Heritage Dictionary and the Chicago Manual of Style. The text should be double-spaced, in 12-point Times New Roman font, including indented passages, tables, and endnotes, and printed on only one side of the paper. Each table and figure should be on a separate page, and should be referred to in numerical order in the text. Location notes (e.g., insert Table 1 here) should be provided in the text. Figures and tables must be camera-ready copy, and are the author(s)’ responsibility. If the use of color artwork is desired, please contact the publisher for print and online color costs. Manuscripts must include all necessary diacritical marks in both the text and the endnotes. Foreign words and names which are written with the Latin alphabet may be spelled either in the original language or in a commonly used transcription system, but must be transcribed if they are not written with the Latin alphabet. In general, it is easier to give common place names in their standard English form than in more complicated transcription systems. Acronyms must be spelled out at their first appearance in the text, e.g., Popular Movement for the Revolution (MPR).
Length:
The text of the manuscript should be no more than 30 typed, double-spaced pages. Manuscripts over 30 pages are discouraged , except in special instances. All manuscripts must be written in English, except by prior permission of the editor. Manuscripts submitted by authors whose major working language is not English will be edited and, if necessary, re-written prior to publication.
Endnotes:
Notes should be kept to a minimum and marked clearly in the text at the point of punctuation by superior numbers, and listed consecutively at the end of the article. They should not be used as footnotes to manuscript pages.
References:
These should follow the Harvard system, i.e. they should be indicated in the typescript by giving the author’s name, with the year of publication in parentheses, e.g. Smith (1994): or if there are more than two authors: Smith et al. (1994). If several papers from the same author(s) and from the same year are cited, (a), (b), (c), etc. should be put after the year of publication. The references should then be listed alphabetically and in full at the end of the paper on a separate sheet in the following standard form:
HARWELL, Emily, and LE BILLON, Philippe. (2009) Natural connections: Linking transitional justice and development through a focus on natural resources. In Transitional Justice and Development: Making Connections , Pablo de Greiff and Roger Duthie (eds.) (New York: International Center for Transitional Justice).
