From the Editor's Desk: On the Structure of IGI Global Chapters / A Short Guide for Authors

Updated: Apr 1

by Piotr Pietrzak


The progress on Exploring the Implications of Local and Regional Conflicts (2024) is going smoothly. I wanted to inform you that in this particular publication, we'll be diving deep into the methodological aspects of conflict management. So, it would be fantastic if you could really make this specific sub-chapter shine.


What attracted me to start publishing with IGI Global in the first place is the structure of the chapters published with this publishing house for they always include the methodological part, and adding it is a compulsory thing makes it very fascinating. It gives us a glimpse into the analytical minds of other successful academics who can capture something as elusive as an ongoing conflict.


Authors are encouraged to adopt the following structure when preparing their chapters for submission to IGI Global:
