The Journal of Borderlands Studies welcomes manuscript submissions from all social science, humanities, and business disciplines focusing on borderlands issues, as well as border-specific manuscripts from other disciplines. The border emphasis is global. Work from any discipline that illuminates border problems, characteristics, issues, and realities in any part of the world is acceptable for manuscript review. It is important that the manuscript deals in a substantive way with the border-related aspects of the topic. It should not just be the results of a study in a region near a border without significant consideration of transboundary influences and characteristics. Manuscripts must be submitted in English.

Manuscripts are blind reviewed by at least two qualified readers.

To submit a manuscript, please email a digital version of the paper as a Word document attachment. The title page should contain the title of the paper, the name(s) of the author(s) and all contact information. The first page of the manuscript should contain only the title (no author's name), followed by a 100 to 150 word abstract and then the paper. For details of the formatting required by JBS see the instructions for authors.

Inquiries and manuscripts should be sent to:
