Journal Submissions

Submitting an Article

To submit an article for publication in the Journal, simply send a copy of your article to:

Journal of Dispute Resolution
Attention: Lead Articles Editor
16 Hulston Hall
University of Missouri-Columbia School of Law
Columbia, MO 65211

Or, you may make an electronic submission by e-mailing a copy of your article to:

Please include a brief cover letter with all submissions that includes your contact information. Submissions should include a brief abstract of the article of about 1-2 paragraphs summarizing the article. Someone with the Journal staff will then notify you that the Journal received your article for submission. Shortly thereafter, the Lead Articles Editor will notify you if your article has been selected for publication in an upcoming issue.

Please be aware that the Journal publishes twice a year (December and May) but accepts submissions year round.

Formatting Preferences

If possible, the Journal asks that all submissions be submitted in Microsoft Word format. However, if the Microsoft Word program is unavailable, Corel WordPerfect is an acceptable alternative formatting program.

All submissions should comply with The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation.
