medieval worlds is inviting papers on any comparative topic for Volume 3, Issue 1 which is scheduled to be published on 1 July, 2016.

medieval worlds is a biannually, peer-reviewed open-access journal published by the Institute for Medieval Research at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. medieval Worlds fosters interdisciplinary and transcultural studies of the Middle Ages. Specifically it encourages and links comparative research between different regions and fields and promotes methodological innovation in transdisciplinary studies. Publishing in medieval worlds is free of charge.

medieval worlds publishes research articles of 5.000 to 10.000 words and shorter articles of 2000-5000 words (including footnotes and reference list) in three categories: comparative papers, pairs/clusters of papers addressing comparative issues and reports on ongoing major research projects.

If you are looking for a potential partner to publish a pair/cluster of papers addressing a comparative common issue, please send a request to medievalworlds@oeaw.ac.at. We are looking forward to bring together scholars from different areas of interest and encourage interdisciplinary groups to publish focused sets of articles.
