Manuscript length should range from twenty to twenty-five pages (5,000 to 7,000 words), including introduction, text, conclusion, tables, figure captions/legends, and footnotes. Please include subheadings to highlight substantive divisions within the article. The SAIS Review will rely on the author to verify facts within the text. On a separate sheet please include an author identification as you would like it to appear at the foot of the title page.  Please supply an abstract of 100 or fewer words with your paper. Please format the manuscript as follows:

• Submit as a double-spaced Microsoft Word document.
• Use 1 inch margins.
• Place all citations in endnotes.
• Number all pages, including endnotes.
• Figures, including photos, illustrations, charts and graphs may be submitted, separately, as .tiffs or high-quality .jpgs of at least 300 dpi. Make note of position of figures, in manuscript.

If your manuscript were to be accepted for publication, it would be edited according to The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition, and Webster's New Twentieth Century Dictionary (Unabridged). The editorial process focuses on organization, flow, clarity, and consistency but also reviews grammar, punctuation, spelling, and style. The SAIS Review aims to strike a balance between varied levels of knowledge among the journal's readership.

After your article has been edited, you will receive a printout for approval and any necessary clarifications or updates. If you would like reprints of your article, please contact the SAIS Review before the date of publication.

Peer Review Policy

The SAIS Review of International Affairs welcomes original work on contemporary issues in foreign policy and international relations from scholars, policymakers, and experts from all fields. Submissions for the print journal are accepted semiannually in August and February. Adaptations or reprints of previous work will not be considered for publication in the print journal, but may be considered for publication on SAIS Review’s website (www.saisreview.org).

Review Process

Submissions receive a preliminary review to determine suitability within one week of submission. Once suitability is determined, a blind first-round review is conducted by SAIS Review’s editorial staff, and the piece is returned to the author. Authors then work with SAIS Review editorial staff on further revisions until the final manuscript deadline. The final manuscript is reviewed by School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) faculty and submitted for publication.

• Preliminary Review – Completed within one week of submission.
• First-Round Blind Review – Completed within two weeks of submission.
• Author Revisions – Returned to editorial staff within three weeks of submission.
• Further Revision – Continues at the editorial staff and author’s pace until final manuscript deadline.
