Call for Submissions: Digest of Middle East Studies
DOMES (Digest of Middle East Studies) is a biennial refereed journal published in English by the Policy Studies Organization (PSO). DOMES is devoted to research articles and reviews of topics concerning the Middle East. This encompasses Islam, the Arab countries, Israel, and those countries traditionally referred to as the Near East, including Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, and Turkey. DOMES is intended for individuals, libraries, research centers, corporations and government offices with interests in the Middle East. The roster of authors and reviewers represents specialists from different religious, political, and subject backgrounds.

DOMES seeks original papers, survey articles, and book reviews that fall within its scope. Single or multiple authorship articles submitted to DOMES should be original contributions and should not be under consideration for publication in other media. If another version of the article is under consideration by another publication, or has been, or will be published elsewhere, author(s) should clearly indicate this at the time of submission. Papers must be in English and in no longer than 15,000 words, including 200 word abstract, reference section, and completed footnotes.

Footnotes are not used for citation purposes, but for substantive comments. They should be identified by consecutive number in the text and grouped at the end of the text. References follow the main body of the text and should appear in alphabetical order by first author's surname. The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association is the style guide used for references, footnotes, endnotes and tables. Manuscripts not in proper format will be returned for correction. Authors are requested to pay particular attention to making citations in notes and references complete and accurate.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/domes where instructions and support are available on the site. A user ID and password can be obtained on the first visit to the site. Additional support is available by phone (+1 434 817 2040 ext. 167), e-mail (support@scholarone.com) or at http://mcv3support.custhelp.com. If you cannot submit online, please contact the Editorial Office by email at aman@uwm.edu.

If you are not a native English speaker, we strongly recommend that you have your manuscript professionally edited before submission. A list of companies that will edit your manuscript for a fee can be found here: http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/english_language.asp. Professional editing is not compulsory, but will mean that reviewers are better able to read and assess your manuscript. Use of one of these companies does not guarantee acceptance or preference for publication in this journal.

Online production tracking is now available for your article through Wiley-Blackwell's Author Services. Author Services enables authors to track their article - once it has been accepted - through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production. The author will receive an e-mail with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system. Please ensure that a complete e-mail address is provided when submitting the manuscript. Visit http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more.
