New Policies for JTMS Improvement
​

With the recent Scopus listing, JTMS has decided to implement some new measures to make sure we continue to improve and grow as and academic journal.  In that interest, we are implementing the following new policies.

​

  • To ensure we maintain a broad variety of authors and articles, authors who publish an article in JTMS in a given year may no longer submit an article in the following year.  This ensures a minimum 1 year gap between author appearances in JTMS.

​​

  • In the book review section we intend to implement in house reviews of book reviews.  This will ensure a minimum standard of academic rigor and professionalism in our book reviews.

​​

As always, the Editorial Board and staff at JTMS are striving to make JTMS the premier journal of history, politics, and security of terrestrial and maritime territorial disputes and we welcome suggestions regarding how to meet that goal.

​

JTMS Call for Blog Entries
​

The blog of Journal of Territorial and Maritime Studies welcomes submissions for blog entries. This forum is intended to discuss topics related to recent territorial and maritime news, research, and policy.  Authors may submit blog entries of 1000-2000 words (or longer with editorial approval) on these subjects.  It is hoped that this blog will help bring a fresh perspective on how to deal with territorial and maritime issues and the complexities these issues present. 

​

Those wishing to submit a blog post can send their post to jtms@yonsei.ac.kr along with the author's contact info, bio, and a recent photo.

​

Book Reviews
​

JTMS publishes short summaries of all books received and complete reviews of selected books. Authors and/or publishers interested in having a summary or review of a maritime and territorial studies related book appear in our journal should send a complimentary copy to the book review editor. All reviews should be sent to the book review editor, Alexander M. Hynd (jtmsbookreviews@gmail.com) and cc’d to the managing editor, Lonnie Edge (jtms@yonsei.ac.kr).  Book reviews should: give a clear and detailed account of book content, explain the value of the book in terms of the literature on the subject, conclude with the reviewer's thoughts on the book.  All reviewers are expected to maintain at least a minimum level of impartiality, collegiality, and professionalism in their writing of reviews and critiques of authors.  All book reviews will be peer reviewed in house to ensure their quality meets JTMS standards.
