Submissions
Nexus prioritizes the publication of short primary source-based analyses, particularly written by locally-based researchers, that examine different aspects of violent jihadism around the world. The Program on Extremism has an informed and experienced readership of experts from across academia, policy, and the media, as well as members of the general public. While contextual and descriptive details are important, the primary purpose of this series is to offer audiences insightful analysis that advances scholarly understanding and/or policy thinking. The preferred word count is 2,000 - 2,500 words with referencing via in-text hyperlinks. We are particularly keen to publish work that is based on primary sources collected in the field and, as with any source that is not available online, simply make clear the origin of the source in the text as endnotes.
