Citizenship Studies is an academic journal that takes the discourse and practice of citizenship as an object of critical inquiry. This includes the affects, economies, ideologies, spatialities, subjectivities, and temporalities relevant to contending articulations of citizenship. We seek submissions that are responsive to forms of domination and control in relation to citizenship, as well as to modes of resistance and transformation. The journal addresses historical and contemporary questions of concern to various publics; it aims to cover a wide geographical scope and encourages approaches that attempt to move beyond methodological nationalism. We seek submissions that make original theoretical and empirical contributions and encourage interdisciplinary perspectives covering the fields of anthropology, cultural studies, geography, history, international studies, politics, political-economy and sociology.
Peer Review All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous double anonymized peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two anonymous referees.Introductions and Afterwords for special issues are double anonymized reviewed by members of the editorial board.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
