Peace Review (PRJ) focuses on the issues and controversies that underlie the promotion of a more peaceful world. We define peace research very broadly to include peace, human rights, development, ecology, culture and related issues - from the micro to the macro, the personal to the planetary. The task of the journal is to present research and thinking in short, accessible and substantive essays, and to offer a scholarly platform for the communication of visual, auditory, and textual commentary on issues about peace, conflict, violence, and nonviolence. This quarterly, multidisciplinary, transnational journal of research, analysis, and reportage aspires to publish issues developed around particular themes; each individual issue includes specific (on-theme), and general (off-theme) materials. We accept submissions for both on and off theme content for each issue.
Queries regarding topical themes from potential Guest Editors should be directed to Editorial @ the PRJ via this email: [email protected].
Peace Review has received several awards and honors, including:
Utne Reader’s nomination of Peace Review for the magazine's Annual Independent Press Awards, which honors the very best in independent media from the pool of more than 1,300 sources. Peace Review received a nomination for the Utne Independent Press Award in International Coverage in both 2007 and 2010!
Peace Review has been honored as a Project Censored Top 25 Most Censored Stories Award Winner 2000 for two essays: Ramsay Liem , "Famine in North Korea" and Yuh Ji-Yeon , "Dangerous Communists, Inscrutable Orientals, Starving Masses."

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:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
