For Authors
As part of a general reorganization of the Middle East Institute, the Middle East Journal (MEJ) will be shifting its priorities to focus on the recent history, current circumstances, and future developments of the politics, economics, security, and societies of the contemporary Middle East. MEJ will thus include more articles related to U.S. policy toward the region. New guidelines for submissions will be posted in the coming weeks, but in the interim we welcome authors to send submissions to MEJ’s Submissions Desk at submissions@mei.edu. Submissions will only be considered as Microsoft Word or rich text attachments.
Manuscripts submitted for consideration by the Journal must not be submitted simultaneously to any other publication, nor may they have been previously published elsewhere including online or as a working paper, in English or any other language.
Style
Text and reference note style should conform to the Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition. All manuscripts must use footnotes rather than endnotes or in-line citations, and short citations instead of ibid. or op cit. MEJ transliterates according to the following styles, albeit without diacritical marks and and with deference to preferred usage:
Arabic: The International Journal of Middle East Studies (IJMES)
Hebrew: Academy of the Hebrew Language 2006 rules
Persian: US Board of Geographic Names (BGN)
Please address any questions regarding the submissions process to the Journal's Managing Editor (mej@mei.edu).
