Who Can Submit?

The Journal of Global Catholicism is currently accepting submissions. Please use the form here to submit your article (first time users will need to create an account). Those wishing to discuss submission ideas are encouraged to email the editors. The Journal of Global Catholicism welcomes proposals for issues on a specific thematic or regional area within the broader field of lived Catholicism. Thematic issues are led by guest editors who collaborate with the JGC's editorial team in the peer review and publication process. For any inquiries related to a thematic issue, please contact the JGC's editorial team.

General Submission Rules

Submitted articles cannot have been previously published, nor be forthcoming in an archival journal or book (print or electronic). Please note: "publication" in a working-paper series does not constitute prior publication. In addition, by submitting material to the Journal of Global Catholicism, the author is stipulating that the material is not currently under review at another journal (electronic or print) and that he or she will not submit the material to another journal (electronic or print) until the completion of the editorial decision process at the Journal of Global Catholicism. If you have concerns about the submission terms for the Journal of Global Catholicism, please email the editors.
