International E-Journal of Criminal Sciences

International E-Journal of Criminal Sciences publishes multidisciplinary research on crime, marginality and social relationships. Its remit includes empirical studies, research reviews and theoretical or methodological contributions with a criminological emphasis. The University of the Basque Country hosts the journal, which is free for authors and readers. PublicationHelp’s displayed amount therefore covers independent services, rather than a publisher fee.

How to assess your paper’s fit

State the criminological question and identify the people, institutions or relationships your work examines. Explain how the evidence supports the contribution you want readers to understand. A paper that uses crime-related data still needs a clear connection to the journal’s research remit. Send our team the title, abstract and study approach for a discussion of suitability and the publication process; the editor makes the submission and acceptance decisions.

Before submission

  • Register on the university-hosted platform and provide a title page and a separate anonymised manuscript.
  • Follow the publisher’s current instructions: manuscripts are normally 5,000–10,000 words, excluding references, tables and figures, in .rtf or .doc format.
  • Provide an abstract of no more than 180 words and up to five keywords; check the English title and keyword requirements for other submission languages.
  • Follow the stated APA reference requirements and submit original work exclusively to this journal while it is under consideration.
