Author Guidelines

See https://www.ijccr.net/guidelines

Research Articles

Articles which provide an informed theoretical perspective as well as empirical investigations of community currency systems are encouraged. We welcome contributions which explore both the historical and contemporary uses of such currencies. Articles should generate knowledge which will help contemporary systems to learn from the past.
We also welcome systematic literature reviews about topics in the scope of the IJCCR’s interests, particularly if they provide an interdisciplinary presentation of writings related to money and currencies.

Research articles will undergo a double-blind review process. They are expected to satisfy high academic standards. If you are not confident about what a high academic standard means, please read our guidance on academic writing. Articles in this section should not exceed 10.000 words (including references but excluding appendixes).

Empirical Reports & Letters from the Field

These are (preferably short) articles that present findings from field research that have not yet been analysed or explored adequately through theory. We welcome in particular empirical research reports and practitioners’ insights from ongoing projects. We are happy to consider PhD students’ work, which shares research results, before their dissertation is defended.

Articles in this section are expected to be shorter than regular research articles. They will not be judged against all the criteria of academic research. The review process will be simplified but anonymous (see our Editorial Policy). Articles in this section should not exceed 6.000 words. 

Ideas for Debate

We welcome short pieces of writing concerning an idea or reflection in the fields of money, currency and economic communities that a scholar wants to share and discuss with the IJCCR community and the world. This could either be more philosophical or ethical to point out the inner human, social and systemic foundations of money and currencies. 

Or it could be thesis based while there has not yet been any thorough research about it or have no systematic field experience related to that idea that would allow you to write a proper evidence-based research paper. We aspire that Ideas for Debate articles will help scholars and practitioners to share their ideas with the RAMICS community at an early stage and receive precious feedback that might allow them to proceed with submitting a full paper at some point in the future.

Articles in this section should not exceed 2.000 words. Their review and acceptance is at the discretion of the editorial team. 

Book Reviews

We welcome reviews of relevant books in the field of complementary currencies – these can be both newly published or older books. Book reviews should provide a critical evaluation of a book’s content (not simply a summary), and highlight its relevance or interest to the readership of this journal. Suggestions of books to review are welcome, as well as expressions of interest to review a specific book of our choosing. We are also open to receive proposals for other kinds of reviews, e.g. games, films, conferences.

Articles in this section should not exceed 3.000 words. Book Reviews should be written in non-technical language for maximum accessibility. We encourage to follow this useful guidance offered by Wendy Laura Belcher (Princeton University).

The book under review must be referenced in the following format:

Earthly Politics: Local and Global in Environmental Governance edited by Sheila Jasanoff and Marybeth Long Martello. London: MIT Press, 2004. Pp. viii + 351; index. £43.95 (hardback); £17.95 (paperback). ISBN 0262101033 and 0262600595. (plus DOI if available)
