Submission takes place in response to a Call for Papers. Unless otherwise specified, the deadline is for submission of full manuscripts. Read more about the expected form and length of submitted texts in the author guidelines on the submission page. Articles submitted to the journal should not have been published before, and will be published under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 copyright.
After the submission deadline has passed each paper is reviewed and discussed by the editorial board during a meeting. Topicality, strength of argument and overall quality of manuscripts are deciding factors for publication. The editorial board provides initial feedback about publication and an editing timeline to each author of accepted papers after this meeting. Each accepted paper is appointed one or two editors, who perform one or two editing rounds.
Tidskrift för ABM distinguishes four types of submissions:
- Scientific article: written report of a scientific study performed within a discipline represented in or affiliated with the Department of ALM. A wide variety of studies have been published before, all following the standards of their respective fields for journal article writing. This includes edited chapters or condensed versions of Master theses as well as independent research articles.
- Travelogues: written reports of participation in conferences or other research-related travel, with a relevance to the readers of TABM.
- Reviews: written review of for example a book, exhibition, software or film dealing with themes, research or topics related to the disciplines represented at the Department of ALM or that could be of use to such scholars. We publish reviews of academic books, but also critical discussions of popular media that are relevant to the field.
- Notes: shorter opinion pieces, summaries of PhD dissertations and introductions to topics relevant to the field.
