Submissions
For CESRAN 2024, we will accept three submission types:
- Individual paper submissions

We accept scholarly research papers and policy analyses on any topic related to international studies in its broadest definition.
Panel: It is for a group of experts working in a specific area to share papers or papers in progress. Panel submissions should include at least four papers, a discussant, and a chair, or five papers and a chair.

MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION GUIDE
- Participants are required to submit completed original research papers to the conference.
- Manuscripts should be submitted in electronic format to conference [at] cesran.org
- Manuscripts submitted to CESRAN2024 should be original contributions and should not be under consideration for any other publication at the same time.
- Manuscripts submitted for consideration of publication (see the section below) are subject to preliminary editorial review and blind review. The editors and referees use three-step guidelines in assessing submissions:
a) Literary quality: writing style, usage of the language, organization of the text,
b) Use of references: referencing, sources, relationships of the footnotes to the text,
c) Scholarship quality: depth of the research, quality, contribution originality, and plausibility of the argument.
Upon the referees’ decision, the papers will be published in an edited book in the journals of CESRAN International.
- Manuscripts should be one space throughout and be typed in English on single sides of A4 paper. Pages should be numbered consecutively.
- Manuscripts should be arranged in the following order of presentation:
First sheet: title, subtitle (if any), author(s), name(s), affiliation, full postal address, telephone, and fax numbers.
Subsequent sheets: the main body of text, list of references and footnotes, appendices, and tables.
- Manuscripts, as a rule, should not exceed 10.000 words, not including footnotes.
- Authors are responsible for ensuring that their papers conform to the CESRAN style.
- Titles in the article should be 12 points, bold, and in uppercase form.
- Each manuscript should be summarized in an abstract, which should describe the main arguments and conclusions of the manuscript. And also, each manuscript should include up to five keywords.
- Notes should be numbered consecutively throughout the article and indicated in the text by a raised numeral, referring to the list of notes, which should be placed at the end of the article. Notes should be kept to a minimum. References to books should give the author’s surname preceded by the initial letters of his or her forename; the title of the book should be in italics; and the place, publisher, and year of publication should follow in brackets. References to articles should give the author’s forename and surname, the title of the article in single quotation marks, the name of publication underlined, the number of volumes in Arabic numerals, the year of publication in brackets, and the page numbers. Subsequent references to a book or article may be made only by the author’s name.
