Contributing blog posts

Although in principle Maastricht Blog of Transitional Justice will only publish commissioned posts, it is also happy to receive unrequested submissions. In any event, posts will only be published if, in the view of the Editorial Team, they: (i) are written in good English, French or Spanish; (ii) are written in a clear, direct, and respectful language; (iii) are well structured; (iv) meet the word limit; and (v) are directly related to the theme of transitional justice. The Editorial Team may also consider other factors, such as topicality and originality of argument.

Please submit your post to fabian.raimondo@maastrichtuniversity.nl. The Editorial Team will review the post as soon as possible and, if it accepts it, it will get it published within a few days. Due to time constraints, the Editorial Team will not provide feedback to contributors if their postsare not accepted after review.

Style guidelines

1. Submit a one-line bio in the same Word document as your post. 

2. Attach a colour picture of yourself to your email.

3. Posts should count between 500 and 1800 words.

4. Any font is acceptable. Posts need to be single spaced, with a single line return between paragraphs. No indentation. Long posts may be broken by using one level of headings.

5. No footnotes. Citations should be put in parentheses immediately after the propositions or quotations that they back up.

6. Insert hyperlinks to supporting materials, including previous posts of our Blog. 

Guidelines for comments and moderation policy

1. Comments on a post will not be posted immediately. They will be reviewed by the  editors and, if approved, they will be posted.

2. Comments need to be written politely.
