Submission Procedures

We prefer to receive submissions electronically. To facilitate the review process, please make sure that your submission conforms to the house style and contains the following:

(a) cover letter with author's contact information and affiliation

(b) an electronic file in either MS Word or WordPerfect (double spaced).

(c) 100-word abstract on a separate page.

Please send (a), (b), and (c) to: Electronic Submission

The editors will strive to inform authors of a decision within 3 months of their manuscript submission. Given the heavy volume of submissions, manuscripts of a standard ready for publication have the best chance of being sent for review. Authors should not submit incomplete or initial drafts of manuscripts, as these will generally not be sent for review nor considered for publication.  

Manuscript Preparation Guidelines

India Review publishes social science research on Indian politics, economics, and society. Typical articles combine theoretical rigor, substantive knowledge, and policy relevance. For example, articles may analyze an issue from a theoretical perspective; test theory or competing debates against relevant data; or provide a new historical treatment or solid comparative analysis of an issue. All articles are refereed.

India Review does not evaluate works already published elsewhere or submitted to another publisher. A manuscript is clearly not original enough if as much as half of the ideas or evidence will have appeared in a book or elsewhere first. If a question of overlap arises, at the time of submission please send a copy of the earlier work and ask the editors for a determination.An article appearing in a forthcoming book may be published in India Review upon consultation with the editors.

An article length of 8,000 to 12,000 words, including notes, is appropriate. Research notes and review essays are shorter.

All manuscripts must conform to the house style to be considered for publication.
