Type of submissions
The Journal welcomes submissions from both professionals and academics. Submissions from practitioners can be in the form of case studies, new approaches and techniques, empirical research, conceptual thinking, or any other material of relevance to place branding and/or public diplomacy professionals. These submissions can be more descriptive (and less analytic) of current practice and need not display in-depth knowledge of previous academic work in the field. The Journal also welcomes traditionally-styled academic papers which will be expected to display a sound knowledge of previous work in the area and some original research content. All papers must make clear their implications for practice.
All ‘full’ papers should ideally be between 5,000 and 7,500 words in length including notes; however, the Journal also welcomes shorter articles, advanced and original student work and ‘think pieces’.
