Deadline: The deadline for submissions for our 2021 Review is specified in each individual solicitation letter.
Requirements: WUROP only accepts submissions that have not been published in their current form. We do accept submissions that have been circulated in unpublished formats (e.g. lectures), previously published in a language other than English, or modified substantially since their original publication. For all papers that have been published in a previous form, please include a copy and full citation of the previously published paper with the submission. All submissions must be in English. There is no maximum or minimum length for submissions. We are happy to accept short-length pieces or interviews conducted by WUROP editors.
The Review asks that authors refrain from submitting their paper to other publications while it is being considered by the Review, and/or withdraw their submission from other journals upon its acceptance by the Review.
The Review reserves the right to republish all accepted submissions. This includes but is not limited to future issues of the journal, the journal’s online archives, and future books published by the Review.
Authors retain all other rights to their submissions including the right to republish their submissions in other journals and books after a moratorium of once year once the submission has appeared in the Review. We request that if the author’s paper is published to other publications in the future they acknowledge that the paper was originally published in WUROP.
Format: We prefer submission in Word fomat (.docx or .doc). Manuscripts should be double-spaced with 1″ margins and 12 point font. We prefer Chicago-style citations. There is no maximum or minimum length for submissions.
Process: After reading your submitted manuscript, the editorial team will discuss it and decide if we will include it in the upcoming edition. If we decide that we would like to publish your piece, we will contact you and begin a dialogue on potential edits for your work. Rather than peer review, you can expect a collaborative process in which a dedicated team of undergraduate students reads your piece and, if necessary, makes suggestions so that the article best fits the mission of the Review.
Publication: Upon acceptance authors will be asked to complete a publication agreement that confirms the journal’s right to publish the manuscript. Publication will be on an open access basis, with terms defined by a Creative Commons publishing license. Authors retain all other rights to their submissions including the right to republish their submissions in other articles or books they write or edit, as long as original publicaion in the Review is acknowledged.
