The founding co-editors of the new journal I.S. Med: Interdisciplinary Studies on the Mediterranean, Drs. Giovanna Summerfield and Rosario Pollicino are seeking submissions on all topics related to the Mediterranean from interdisciplinary perspectives (humanities, social sciences, international law, media studies, art, and other fields of research).  Any historical period of reference is welcome though we strongly encourage presenters to focus on the early modern to contemporary times. Particular attention will be given to proposals regarding folklore and cultural memories about and in the Mediterranean. Submissions must be in English, of 6,000 to 8,000 words (word counts includes bibliography), 5 keywords, and a 150-word bio. Express interest by submitting a 400-word abstract by March 15, 2026. Contributors need to adhere to the Chicago style format, https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html. 

Authors whose native language is other than English are responsible for hiring a professional translator and/or editor. Authors should have their article translated/reviewed into English by an academic native English-speaker. Submitted articles are sent to peer-reviewers, only if they reflect the editorial guidelines and if their English version/translation is free of syntax, grammar or spelling errors.

Manuscripts and editorial communications should be sent via email and/or attachment (MSWord) to the Editors, summegi@auburn.edu and POLLICIR@mailbox.sc.edu. Attachments should be marked with the last name of the contributor, followed by the name/subject of the paper. Contributors are asked to provide a cover page with their name, complete affiliation address, phone number(s), and email. I.S. Med is a peer-reviewed journal. All research articles submitted to the journal are double-blind refereed to ensure academic integrity. Strict anonymity regarding authors and referees is paramount. The editorial staff will remove the cover sheet from the manuscript before sending it for evaluation.

NOTE: Articles submitted should be entirely original and unpublished, should not be simultaneously under consideration by another publisher, should not have been published previously even in part by any other publication, and should not appear in blogs or other online sites. Proposals of English translations or edited versions of previously published works will not be considered.
