The Journal of European Integration History provides a forum for research on the European integration process in all its aspects: political, military, economic, technological, social, and cultural. It publishes contributions focusing on specific forms and projects of European integration since 1945. It also publishes articles on the precursors and preparations of post-1945 European integration. The journal is published twice a year. There are themed as well as “open” issues; in addition, reviews of new publications are included in each issue. The journal brings together an international group of scholars; texts are published in English, French or German.

Publication Guidelines

Authors

Authors are accountable for:

  • the originality of their research papers,
  • ensuring their work has not been previously published and has been submitted only to the journal,
  • citing clearly the sources from where material is taken (including their own published writing) and for ensuring that permission is obtained where appropriate,
  • not infringing with their work on any rights of others, including privacy rights and intellectual property rights,
  • the accuracy and integrity of their data,
  • the originality of their data or for obtaining permission to use data reproduced in their paper,
  • clearly stating any real or potential conflicting or competing interest on submission of their paper (this would include funding assistance),
  • adhering to all research ethics guidelines of their discipline,
  • contacting the Editor to identify and correct any material errors upon discovery, whether prior or subsequent to publication of their work,
  • representing accurately authorship of the paper, including ensuring that all individuals credited as authors participated in the actual authorship of the work and that all who participated are credited and have given consent for publication.

Above all, authors should be transparent. For example, if authors are not sure whether their paper is original or whether, for instance, it might constitute duplicate publication, they should inform the journal’s editor. If the editor decides it is appropriate to publish, the paper itself should state clearly any potential overlap.

Reviewers

Reviewers must:

  • maintain the confidentiality of the review process,
  • refrain from contacting the authors directly without permission of the journal,
  • immediately alert their journal editor of any real or potential competing interest that could affect the impartiality of their reviewing and decline to review where appropriate,
  • conduct themselves fairly and impartially.

If in doubt about whether a conflict exists, reviewers should be transparent and seek the views of the journal editor.

Editors

Editors should:

  • maintain and promote consistent ethical policies for their journals,
  • oversee and act to enforce those policies as needed in a fair and consistent manner,
  • ensure the confidentiality of the review process,
  • exercise the highest standards of personal integrity in their work as editor of the journal, recognizing and planning for instances where they could have a competing interest or the appearance of a competing interest,
  • work with authors, reviewers, and Editorial Board members as necessary to ensure they are sufficiently advised regarding their journals’ ethics and publishing policies and that the journal’s stewardship on ethical matters is fair, unbiased, and timely.

Review Process

All articles published in JEIH undergo a peer review process. Authors wishing to submit a piece to the journal, should send it to Charles.Barthel@pt.lu.

Manuscripts are accepted in English, French and German and should not exceed 55,000 characters all including.

The quality of the articles published in the Journal of European Integration History is ensured by rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and double-anonymous peer-review in accordance with internationally recognized standards. This procedure is designed to protect the anonymity of both authors and reviewers. Since the double-blind peer review process is critical to maintaining high publication standards, we rely on reviewers who are experts in the relevant academic field. Reviewers are required to declare potential competing or conflicting interests.

We do not tolerate plagiarism in JEIH, and we encourage reviewers to check submissions through appropriate plagiarism checking tools. In accordance with Nomos Guidelines, submissions containing suspected plagiarism, in whole or part, will be rejected and authors will be notified accordingly.

This policy also applies to special issues. After the review, our secretarial office will compile an anonymous summary of the reviewers’ comments, which will then be forwarded to the author(s). If the reviewers’ evaluations differ, the editor’s secretarial office will select a third reviewer. In the case of manuscripts that have been revised in line with the guidance of the reviewers and the editor, the editor may at their discretion either accept the revised manuscript forthwith or send it once again to readers for further external peer review. The peer-review process takes an average of three to four months.

There are basically three possible review outcomes:

a) the manuscript is accepted (with or without minor changes being suggested/corrections);

b) the manuscript is accepted conditionally, i.e., the author(s) must revise it substantially according to the peer reviewers’ comments;

c) the manuscript is rejected (for example, in the case of plagiarism).

The reviewers are instructed to assess the work impartially and objectively. If the reviewers discover during the review that they are not qualified to conduct the review (e.g., do not have the required expertise) or discover potential conflicts of interest or competing interests, they must notify the journal’s Editorial Team immediately. Reviewers may not use any information from the ongoing review process to their advantage or to the advantage of a third party. This includes suggesting that authors refer to their own work or that of a colleague if this is not necessary. Any other ethical concerns should also be brought to the attention of the Editorial Team. Unless expressly permitted, reviewers must not involve a third party in the review process.

The journal does not prescribe a particular format or style for the review. However, it is customary to send confidential comments to the editors with a recommendation to accept/revise/reject the manuscript. Reviewers are asked to provide comments and suggestions on the quality and accuracy of the study and should refrain from rewriting the manuscript to their liking. A carefully prepared review helps the authors to improve their work. Therefore, we expect constructive suggestions for improvement and clearly formulated comments for the authors and editors. The double-blind peer review must always adhere to the highest standards of scientific work and scientific integrity.

This journal will consider corrections/retractions in line with the guidelines provided by COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics). Please note that the list of reasons to retract in COPE’s guidelines is not exclusive. The editor may retract a publication for any reason that irreversibly undermines the article’s validity or integrity.
