Founded in 1998, the journal aims to make available to the scientific community, but also to the general public, the results of recent academic research in the field of International Relations.

PEER-REVIEW PROCESS
Peer review is critical to maintaining the standards of our publications. All submitted papers are evaluated on the principle of blind peer review, meaning all materials are sent to the Reviewers anonymously. None of the members of the Editorial Team or any other participants in the publication process is allowed to disclose the Authors’ names to Reviewers before the final decision regarding the publication of the submitted papers. If a Reviewer recognizes the article’s author being reviewed and discovers a conflict of interest, he is to inform the Editor of this and recuse himself. The Editor-in-Chief coordinates the whole process of the Editorial Team and makes decisions on key issues As a member of the Editorial Team, the Editor-in-Chief guarantees strict compliance with all ethical standards set forth herein.
The International Editorial Board of Euro-Atlantic Studies New Series, due to its academic authority and the principle of collegiality, guarantees that the published content meets international standards of scholarly and editorial ethics. All conflicts arising between the participants of the editorial and publishing process are to be resolved through the direct involvement of the Editorial Board.

If a submitted manuscript is authored by one of our editors, a co-editor or an external party will manage the entire review process. Furthermore, should such a situation appear and the manuscript is going to be published, it will be explicitly stated in the article/book review that the editor who submitted the work was not involved in any way in the peer review process of that specific paper.
Misconduct Handling
Any publication found to include fraudulent results will be retracted, or an appropriate correction or expression of concern will be issued. Cases of suspected misconduct will be handled following the guidelines set out by the COPE Code of Conduct for Journal Editors

PUBLICATION ETHICS
When submitting a paper to Euro-Atlantic Studies New Series, the Author thereby confirms his or her authorship. The Author must present in full all sources of information consulted in the work, including lists of sources (both published and unpublished), research literature (including the Authors’ own previously published works), and informants (when publishing the results of field studies). The Author ensures that if he/she has used the work and/or words of others, this has been appropriately cited or quoted. Any form of plagiarism is unacceptable; self-plagiarism, i.e., the attempt to republish one’s own previously published work without significant changes to it, is unacceptable as well.
It is the responsibility of the author/s to ensure that the Manuscript is an original work and sole property of the author(s) and the manuscript has not been published and is not subject to publication in another journal. Also, significant parts of the work have not been published.
Concurrent submission of the same work to the Euro-Atlantic Studies New Series and any other publication is prohibited.
In case of violation of any of the rules listed above, the Editorial Team is entitled to refuse the publication of the article at any time, including during preliminary consideration, without involving reviewers. Any changes added by the Author to a text that has been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication can be made only in coordination with the Editorial Team. An Author can withdraw an accepted work only before the materials have been sent out for editing. It is unacceptable for an Author to place into the public domain materials that have been accepted for publication and sent for editing but have not yet been published.
