International Studies Perspectives

SP publishes three types of articles, all of which share the common requirement of focus and relevance to matters related to international relations/international studies: Pedagogy These articles present and analyze innovative teaching practices in the field of international studies in colleges and universities from around the world. Pedagogy articles are open in scope/method but must include empirical evidence approaches to teaching/learning and/or learning outcomes and must be grounded in the scholarship of teaching and learning. Policy These articles address current or recent policy debates – broadly conceived – highlighting the degree to which these debates are or ought to be informed by existing scholarly literature and contemporary research. Policy articles are non-normative, evidence-based, explanatory, analytical/evaluative, examinations of problems and policies with global and/or transnational focus. Practice These articles offer insights into current trends in international studies in the academic and practitioner communities, including topics concerning the state of the discipline, methodological debates, publishing in international studies, the academic and nonacademic job market, professional development, and others. The editors of ISP encourage submissions that bridge different academic disciplines, the academic and policymaking worlds, and the teacher-student gap globally conceived. Submissions from traditionally underrepresented regions and perspectives are particularly welcomed. Manuscripts of original research (maximum of 10,000 words, inclusive of all text, notes, tables/figures, references, and appendices) that lack a primary emphasis on pedagogy, policy analysis, and/or practice related to international studies are not suitable for ISP and should not be submitted for review. The journal does not publish announcements or book reviews of any sort. Articles that do not fit ISP’s mission will be rejected prior to review.

Quartiles

The set of journals have been ranked according to their SJR and divided into four equal groups, four quartiles. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Cites per Doc

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.
