How to nominate a paper

Authors of papers (e.g., fellows and other IAS-affiliated researchers) are invited to nominate their own work or the work of others. In case you nominate a paper of a colleague in your field, please make sure to involve the author in the process. You can nominate only one paper per edition of the journal. To nominate a paper please submit:

  1. the paper (or a link to the paper)
  2. Three to five keywords;
  3. A picture that matches with the content (if available).

Content criteria

We look forward to receiving nominations for papers:

  • on interdisciplinary topics;
  • that preferably relate to systems thinking and/or complexity science methods OR to approaches (methodological, conceptual, or empirical) that could be relevant for (and/or applicable to) other research fields;
  • That are peer reviewed (an exception can be made for highly-cited papers in archives);
  • That are published within six months before submission to IAS Review, or that are seminal in a certain field.    

When putting together IAS Review, priority is given to papers on relevant IAS research themes.

Submission deadline

We accept submissions on a rolling basis.
