General Submission Rules

Anyone may submit an original article to be considered for publication in the Journal of International Crisis and Risk Communication Research provided he or she owns the copyright to the work being submitted or is authorized by the copyright owner or owners to submit the article. Submitted articles cannot have been previously published, nor be forthcoming in an archival journal or book (print or electronic). Please note: "publication" in a working-paper series does not constitute prior publication. In addition, by submitting material to Journal of International Crisis and Risk Communication Research, the author(s) is stipulating that the material is not currently under review at another journal (electronic or print) and that he or she will not submit the material to another journal (electronic or print) until the completion of the editorial decision process at Journal of International Crisis and Risk Communication Research. If you have concerns about the submission terms for Journal of International Crisis and Risk Communication Research, please contact the editors.

Submission and Formatting Requirements

All submissions to the Journal of International Crisis and Risk Communication Research must follow the formatting requirements of the most recent edition of the APA style guide. All references must include accurate and linked Digital Object Identifiers. There are, however, additional rules governing the formatting of submissions. Please see the instructions for authors for details. Although JICRCR may provide limited technical support, it is ultimately the responsibility of the author to produce an electronic version of the article as a high-quality Microsoft Word file that can be converted to a PDF file.

It is the responsibility of the author(s) to ensure all images, figures and tables, follow the format requirements. Moreover, it is the responsibility of the author(s) to ensure all images have the needed permissions for use or are the property of the author(s). The act of submitting any image, table, or figure is an indication that all needed permissions have been obtained and cleared by the author(s).

Authors are asked to create an ORCID before submitting a manuscript. ORCID provides a unique digital identifier that distinguishes authors. Information on how to create an ID can be found at the ORCID website.

If the authors cannot or choose not to comply with the submission requirements, JICRCR will remove the manuscript from publication and return the copyright to the author(s).

It is understood that the current state of technology of Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) is such that there are no (and can be no) guarantees that documents in PDF will work perfectly with all possible hardware and software configurations that readers may have.

Rights for Authors and JICRCR

As further described in our submission agreement (the Submission Agreement), in consideration for publication of the article, the author(s) retain copyright to the material and have agreed to license it BY-NC-ND 4.0. Creative Commons License

No tool, program, or other forms of AI (such as a large language model, i.e., LLM) will receive a byline (recognition as an author) on an article published in Journal of International Crisis and Risk Communication Research. Currently, machines do not have the ability to accept responsibility or discipline for work created and therefore are prohibited from authorship. Authors using any machine-generated content, similar to content created by an LLM, are required to document this in both the acknowledgments and methods section of a submission. Furthermore, JICRCR may place an LLM-badge on the article as an acknowledgment to readers about the practice.

Attribution and Usage Policies

Reproduction, posting, transmission or other distribution or use of the article or any material therein, in any medium as permitted by license, or by written agreement of JICRCR, requires credit to the copyright holder.

Author(s) and others are permitted to share, post and redistribute articles and do not require further permission from JICRCR, provided there are no alterations of the format or content of the articles, including the copyright notification.
