ABOUT THE EWC OCCASIONAL PAPER SERIES

The EWC Occasional Paper series presents research findings on five broad themes: Indo-Pacific strategic competition and international relations; climate, energy, and environment; emerging technology and related diplomatic efforts; economic statecraft; and international organization and multilateral diplomacy. The maximum length for papers in this series is 7,500 words, excluding footnotes. Tables, charts, and graphics may be included in-text or in an appendix.

Occasional Papers explore salient topics related to the Indo-Pacific region through substantive analytical research that draws from and builds upon the findings from pertinent literature, interviews, and other relevant methodologies. The series aims to serve as a platform for EWC staff, Visiting Scholars, Visiting Fellows, RICE Fellows, Non-Resident Fellows, and Adjuncts to not only disseminate their ideas but also advance collaboration and exchange. Submissions by EWC partners and associates will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The Center anticipates publishing approximately 10-12 Occasional Papers annually.

CITATIONS AND STYLE GUIDE

The Occasional Papers series largely follows The Chicago Manual of Style (17th Edition). The series uses footnote citations only. Thus, following the Chicago style guidelines for works without a full bibliography, the first instance of each source should be referenced using a long-form citation, and thereafter, short-form citations may be used for any other mentions. Additionally, authors should use the serial comma, spell out numbers less than 10, use SI (metric) units of measure, and use American spelling.

SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS

Unsolicited Occasional Papers should be sent to [email protected]. Occasional Papers will be subject to evaluation and comment by a reviewer from EWC staff or its expert network. Submissions will be evaluated by at least one or a combination of the following: an EWC researcher, an associated scholar, or a content matter expert from EWC’s network. Any revisions or edit requests will be returned to the author for review and approval. Once the submission is finalized, the publication coordinator will prepare it for publication.

COPYRIGHT

The author retains the copyright to their work and grants EWC a non-exclusive license to use, copy, display, incorporate, reproduce, publish, distribute, and reformat their Occasional Paper throughout the world, for any and all lawful purposes, and in any manner and format, including, without limitation, in databases, digital format, electronic format, CD-ROM format, other interactive media, on-line formats including the Internet, and formats and databases accessible through online search engines, together with the right to sublicense such rights to any third party in EWC’s sole discretion.
