Journal Guide

Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society publishes multi-disciplinary international research on the spatial dimensions of contemporary socio-economic-political change. The Journal adopts a focused thematic format. Each issue is devoted to a particular theme selected by the international editorial team.

Cambridge Prisms: Antimicrobial Resistance is dedicated to advancing and accelerating the development, uptake, and adoption of products, processes, and policies to help mitigate the impact of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Addressing AMR effectively requires an integrated, One Health approach, which recognises that human, animal and environmental health are interconnected. Our primary mission is to serve as an essential platform for the dissemination of high-quality translational and implementation research, innovation, and informed discourse on AMR. Beyond the traditional boundaries of scientific inquiry, the journal aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration by providing a forum where researchers, clinicians, veterinarians, policymakers, regulators, and industry and business stakeholders converge to share insights that will deliver impact. The journal advocates for increased global efforts to address AMR and protect the efficacy of current and new antimicrobial medicines. We encourage submissions that investigate how and why efforts to curb AMR have, to date, not yielded the expected results. We encourage the generation of evidence for action as well as evidence of action on curbing AMR. Additionally, we seek studies that highlight the need for systems’ level thinking and that provide information to prevent adverse consequences of interventions being shifted from one sector to another.

Carbon Technologies focuses on innovative and interdisciplinary research aimed at mitigating the impact of climate change by reducing carbon emissions and their environmental impact. The journal serves as a dynamic platform for scientists, engineers, and policymakers, to collaborate on advancing Carbon Capture, Usage, and Storage (CCUS) technologies. Our goal is to foster breakthroughs that contribute to advance the understanding of CCUS strategies and to enable and accelerate their implementation. Special emphasis is placed on studies and analyses that help bridge the gap between discovery, innovation, and the large-scale implementation in CCUS technologies.

Cambridge Prisms: Energy Transitions aims to explore all aspects of energy systems, their complexity and how they are evolving over time. The journal will delve into the various technologies for energy generation, the evolution of energy systems and the relationship with those systems in terms of their transitions, applications, controls, and innovation. In particular, the journal is interested in the dynamics of the integration and interactions of these systems and implications for the future. 

The Cambridge Review of International Affairs publishes excellent and innovative scholarship on international affairs, particularly in the fields of international relations, international law and international political economy. It is committed to diversity of approach and method and encourages the submission of multi- and inter-disciplinary academic contributions from academics and policymakers. Scholarly debate is promoted through the Cambridge Review of International Affairs' main format of thematic sections of about four or five articles debating theoretical, empirical and/or methodological questions, as well as its book review forums and responses. The journal also carries one special issue each year. The submission of articles from panels, workshops, etc for joint publication is encouraged (all articles will be individually peer reviewed and evaluated).Peer ReviewAll articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review. They are reviewed by at least three and usually around five reviewers. In the first round of peer reviewing, a majority of reviewers must recommend at least publication with revisions for authors to be invited to resubmit their revised papers. In the second round, a majority of the original peer reviewers must recommend publication of the paper as it stands. The Editors maintain final discretion over publication of all papers.
