Dear JIWS authors: We have closed our portal for new submissions so that we can review over 50 submissions that we received recently. Please do not submit over email as we are not accepting any new submissions at this time. The submission portal will be reopened in March 2027 for the submission of articles, essays, film reviews, policy briefs, and creative pieces. If you have an article or creative piece that fits the topic of one of our special issues in process, please submit directly to those special issue editors: see the "Call for Papers" page on our left menu for the topics and submission details. Book reviews can also be submitted at any time to our book review editors--see the "Policies/Submission" tab on the left menu for their contact information.

We are also pleased to share that the JIWS has a new Inclusive Language Guide for authors and reviewers; please incorporate these bias-free principles into your submissions. To maintain the academic rigor of our Q2 journal, the JIWS has created an ethics policy for use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools. All authors should abide by our policies in order for their work to be considered for publication. Both of these documents can be found in the left menu. Thank you for your continued readership and support of the Journal of International Women's Studies!
