Guidelines for Authors
Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts online through the DSQ website by clicking "Make a Submission" in the sidebar.
Editors invite submissions of article-length manuscripts (8,000-12,000 words suggested) as well as shorter creative writing assignments. DSQ is a multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and international journal of interest to social scientists, humanities scholars, disability rights advocates, creative writers, and others interested in disability issues. It represents the full range of methods, epistemologies, perspectives and content spanning the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary field of disability studies. Therefore, we invite intelligent, interesting and innovative submissions committed to developing theoretical and practical knowledge about disability and promoting the full and equal participation of people with disabilities in society.
DSQ editors do not make preliminary courtesy decisions about the appropriateness of a potential submission to the DSQ. Authors considering the DSQ as a potential publishing site should take the time and care to review the journal for themselves and determine the suitability of their work for the DSQ. It would be helpful to review some recent issues of the magazine. Key terms can also be entered into the SEARCH bar to see if there are other publications similar to a potential author's topic, methodology or approach.
The DSQ does not consider manuscripts under review elsewhere or that have been previously published. We also do not accept unsolicited book reviews. All articles and creative texts published on DSQ are peer-reviewed.
The DSQ asks authors to use a consistent and correct citation and reference format: APA, ASA, Chicago, or MLA.
We ask all authors to send manuscripts to DSQ:
- List all research funding sources and include this information in the acknowledgments (if applicable) or as a footnote or endnote.
- Indicate in the manuscript, if applicable, that the research protocol employed was approved by institutional review boards (IRBs) or relevant ethics committees for human or animal experiments and that all human subjects provided appropriate informed consent. Again, this information can appear in the acknowledgments (if applicable) or as a footnote or endnote.
All submissions must be formatted in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx). Documents must be submitted in a single file.
If the submissions include images or tables, the authors must insert these materials in the body of the articles in an appropriate place. All images must be accompanied by descriptive text. To comply with the terms of the publisher's Crossref membership, digital object identifiers (DOIs) must be included with references where available. To check DOIs, you can use theFree DOI searchform on the Crossref website.
Peer review process
All articles and creative works are peer reviewed who have the appropriate knowledge and experience. When we receive a new submission on the DSQ, we first read it, as editors, and then assign 2-4 reviewers to each submission. We reached out to those reviewers and started asking for a review within 4 weeks. Reviewers don't always respond quickly (or even agree to do the review) and therefore often have to follow up with additional reviewers or nudge the initial reviewers. It is not uncommon for the peer review process to take up to 6 months, although we do our best to get a new submission through the process as quickly as possible.
If you do not hear back from the DSQ editors regarding the status of your submission within 8-12 weeks, please feel free to contact us and we will let you know about the process for reviewing your submission.
Once we retrieved the reviews, we read those reviews and the original submission once more; we carefully consider next steps in our regular editorial meetings. An editorial decision letter from the DSQ goes back to the author(s). If Review and Resubmit, we indicate the scope of those reviews (and include the reviewer's original comments). We usually request a review within 3 months; We also request that such reviews include a cover letter from the author(s) detailing the revisions made.
Final publication decisions are made by the editors based on information gathered from peer reviews and the success and scope of the resubmitted review.
