About

The MPSeJ is published by the Macedonian Political Science Forum (MPSF) one time a year, since 2014.

All research article undergo a blind peer review process. While our focus is on political science, we also welcome contributions from related subjects.

This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. 

To submit a manuscript, please make sure you have read the latest call for papers before submitting to the MPSeJ.

Furthermore, we do charge fees (“APCs") from the authors around 80 - 100 euros.

​

Peer Review Process

Every research article submitted to the MPSeJ will be evaluated independently by members of the International Editorial Board.

To avoid scientific misconduct, the MPSeJ follows a three-fold approach:

- Upon submission, authors have to declare that this paper is based on their own research, and is an original, unpublished contribution by signing the copyright agreement. The journal holds authors solely responsible in cases of plagiarism.

- The responsible editor, together with the assistant editors, scrutinizes each submitted paper before putting it into review. In difficult cases, the editor will seek advise from the editorial board.

- The reviewers are asked to highlight any suspicion regarding potential plagiarism. In cases of doubt, final decision on publication of an article will be made by the responsible editor.

​

Focus and Scope

The MPSF has been a voice for political science analysis and research in North Macedonia since 1997.

MPSF publishes MPSeJ, and it is open to submissions in Macedonian and English and without preference to any social science research discipline or methodological approach. It is committed solely to free scientific research and scientific quality.

Its aim is to promote communication and exchange between different social and political science research directions, perspectives and methods.

All submissions are subject to a peer-review process  or a review by the editorial board (e.g. forum and discussion contributions).

The journal is primarily interested in the state of the art in political science, but articles and research reports of general relevance to political science, diplomacy, law, political history, international economy are also considered.
