Submissions



We accept academic/scholarly articles from various fields in the social sciences and humanities on resistance, power and social change. We also consider articles from the natural sciences, technology, and activist settings, but we may depending on availability of reviewers, reject texts in the screening phase. If uncertain, please contact the editors for advice.

Our review cycle is only about five weeks. This way we can stay updated with contemporary events and debates. However, this demands of the authors to work closely with the editors and to make time available during the process for revisions. We employ blind peer-review, which means that both authors and reviewers will remain anonymous during the entire process.

On dead-line, your manuscript will be screened by the editors, and we will decide whether we are able to find suitable reviewers for you. Then it is sent to members of the board and you will receive suggestions for revising your text. As publication date approaches, you must submit a final draft without spelling errors.

Articles should be written in academic English. Regional spellings (US|UK|SA|IND|CAN, etc.) may be preserved. As we do not charge for the magazine, we are not able to hire spell checkers, hence we must postpone articles with a large amount of errors.

Formal submissions should be sent as attached documents in Word or RTF-format (.pdf is not accepted) to two separate e-mail addresses (replace “( at )” with “@”):

editor ( at ) rsmag.org

christopher.kullenberg ( at ) theorysc.gu.se

Due to the possibility of failures in e-mail communications, we advise any correspondence to run through both addresses.

Texts should include:

  1. Title.
  2. Author name & affiliation (will be removed before peer-review).
  3. 200 word abstract.
  4. References should be written inside the text [example: The basic unit of language is the order-word assemblage, which is an instruction, or a command (Deleuze & Guattari 1980: 84)].
  5. Bibliography in alphabetical order at the end of the document following these examples: [Book: Giddens, Anthony 1984 The Constitution of Society, Cambridge: Polity Press | Article: Latour, Bruno 2000 'When Things Strike Back: a Possible Contribution of ‘Science Studies’ to the Social Sciences', British Journal of Sociology, Vol. No. 51 Issue 1).]
  6. Footnotes should be kept to a minimum.
