Call for Papers: Encuentro Latinoamericano: Revista de Ciencia Politica (ELA)

Encuentro Latinoamericano: Revista de Ciencia Politica (ELA) is a new International Association for Political Science Students (IAPSS) publication focusing on Latin American politics. The languages of publication are English, Spanish, and Portuguese, with all articles accompanied by English abstracts. Aiming at students of all levels and junior researchers in the field of political science and related studies with a strong Latin American focus, ELA enables junior academic talents to publish at the beginning of their careers.
Paper Requirements & Deadlines
- Full academic papers with original research based on new primary data or review of existing literature with strong personal input (see “Paper Submission Guidelines”) and a length of up to 6,000 words.
- Research notes based on fieldwork notes, raw data, and observations with the first level of analysis and a length of up to 2,000 words.
- Book reviews of up to 600 words.
Papers for publication are accepted on a continual basis, with deadlines for individual issues set at the ELA website.
All articles should respect the formal structure and all requirements stated in the “Paper Submission Guidelines” for IAPSS Journals and Publications.
High-Quality Review Process
The Editorial Board of ELA is committed to publishing high-quality research articles and uses a double-blind peer review process for each submission, similar to the review process of POLITIKON – IAPSS’ oldest journal. The reviewers of the journal are young researchers (PhD candidates, post-doctoral students, teaching assistants, and assistant professors) with a strong expertise in Latin American issues and the prospective articles in question.
The Editorial Board will communicate the results of each evaluation to authors who submit. (1st: Editorial Board evaluation; 2nd: double-blind peer-review), proposed changes, and the planned date of publication. (Currently, ELA is published bi-annually in April and October. Special thematic or conference-based issues may occasionally be published.)
Please note that the Editorial Board will not evaluate articles by authors who (co-)authored other articles currently under evaluation.
If you would like your paper to be considered for publication in the next ELA edition, please send it to elajournal@iapss.org on or before April 15, 2018.
