If you would like to submit an article in the topical areas we cover on the Social Europe website please email the text (usually no longer than 700-1000 words—we are strict about this) in an editable document format accompanied by a brief biography and high-resolution pictures of yourself and potential co-authors to submissions@socialeurope.eu. If you use any charts or graphs in your submission (use as few as possible) please also send the files separately in high resolution. Please don’t use footnotes, endnotes or references. Instead, please supply hyperlinks (embedded links) for any references where you think this helpful.
We only consider articles that are offered to us first and are not under consideration elsewhere—if you do not hear from us within a week of submission, feel free to offer to an alternative outlet. Furthermore, we also reserve the right to make editorial changes (such as new headlines) before publication. Please be also aware that if your article is accepted for publication you grant us a royalty-free licence (including for commercial purposes) to use the article on the Social Europe website and in other Social Europe products worldwide.
As the amount of submitted articles has increased significantly, we ask for your understanding that we cannot provide individual feedback for rejected articles. We would like to encourage women in particular to submit articles as we are aware of the continuing challenge to ensure an adequate gender balance in our publications.
