World Outlook welcomes submissions from all current and recently-graduated undergraduate students, regardless of institutional affiliation. Content from most academic disciplines is accepted, provided that papers are relevant to the field of international relations. Papers to be considered for publication must be available in digital format and should include citations and a works cited page consistent with the Chicago Manual of Style guidelines. Submissions must reflect original work and must be written in English; embedded foreign characters are acceptable where necessary if translations are given. Please familiarize yourself with work typically published in World Outlook before submitting.
Reading Period
World Outlook is published twice a year and we prefer that writers not submit content more than twice a year. Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis, although paper reviews typically occur during the Fall and Spring academic terms (September – November; March – May).
Documents
Submissions should be between 12 and 25 pages in length, double-spaced in size 12 font. Longer submissions will be considered under exceptional circumstances. If submitting a senior thesis, please edit content to 30 pages or fewer. Documents must be submitted electronically to World Outlook, properly paginated, and cited in-text in the author-date system with a works cited page in Chicago style. In your submission, please include your name, institution, year of graduation, and the title of the work.
For more information, please view the World Outlook Style Guide for guidance.
