Submissions should be original, stand-alone, and have a strong international studies focus. We accept articles related to International Relations, Political Science, Economics, History, Sociology, or other area-related studies. We accept both longer pieces for publication in the journal as well as shorter pieces for publishing on our blog.

Please send submissions double-spaced in Microsoft Word. Please use Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition—Notes and Bibliography. Cite sources with footnotes and include a full bibliography at the end. Journal submissions should be 5-8 pages, but this range is flexible and does not include works cited. We accept coherent excerpts from longer essays and theses. Furthermore, if the paper was written in response to a certain course prompt, please include that prompt or a descriptive abstract.

Finally, our editorial group will examine the submitted articles based on our set criteria. If the submission is chosen for publication the author may be required to make some edits to their work with our editorial board. Submissions can be sent in at any point during the semester. We will hold submissions for consideration in the following issue if necessary.

Email your submissions as a Word Document to johnshopkinsfar@gmail.com.

Policy on the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The Johns Hopkins Foreign Affairs Review recognizes that artificial intelligence (AI) tools can assist students in preparing their work. With this in mind, it is the policy of this journal that authors may use AI tools for limited purposes, such as formatting, citation management, and proofreading. However, all ideas, arguments, and analysis must be the original work of the student and must reflect the author’s own intellectual effort, voice, and critical thinking. AI tools should not be used to generate entire paragraphs, sections, or the overall content of a submission.

Authors are responsible for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of their submissions. Any use of AI must be consistent with the journal’s commitment to academic honesty and the Homewood Undergraduate Academic Ethics Policy. Editors reserve the right to request clarification regarding the use of AI in the preparation of a manuscript. Failure to comply with this policy may result in rejection of the submission or withdrawal of publication.
