Submission and referee procedure
Articles submitted for the Young Scholar Award should be sent to the managing editor Marina Luttrell. Papers should preferably be written in English and should not have been published already, nor be currently under consideration elsewhere. Submissions in French and German will also be considered (and, if accepted for publication, will be translated into English). If the submission has been translated from another language, it should be accompanied by the original. Research should be presented in a non-technical manner that is accessible to a wide audience. As all articles are refereed anonymously, please attach a separate page with your name, affiliation, short author biography, email and postal address. Articles should be between 5000 and 8000 words including notes, references and tables and must be accompanied with an abstract of no more than 150 words and up to 8 keywords. For full details see the Transfer website.
