Comitatus
A JOURNAL OF MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE STUDIES
CALL FOR PAPERS
Comitatus, published annually under the auspices of the UCLA CMRS Center for Early Global Studies, invites the submission of research articles (8,000–13,000 words) and short articles (3,500–7,000 words) by graduate students and recent PhDs in any field of late antique, medieval, Renaissance, early modern, or early global studies. We particularly welcome articles that synthesize disciplines, as well as short articles that share significant findings from primary research, such as translations, interviews, field notes, archive reports, and catalogues.
Short articles are intended to make the process of academic publishing accessible to graduate students at different stages of their careers. They must adhere to the Comitatus submission guidelines but may engage more summarily with secondary literature. These short articles should include an introduction outlining the text’s potential significance and utility for scholars. Translations, interviews, field notes, archive reports, and catalogues should prioritize readability in their layout and critical apparatus.
Submissions of all lengths and formats will be reviewed by the Comitatus Editorial Board. Submissions judged to be exceptional by the Board will be invited for inclusion in this year’s volume.
Please send submissions as email attachments to Allison McCann, Managing Editor, Comitatus (allisonmccann@humnet.ucla.edu), by March 3, 2025. Submission guidelines can be found at https://cmrs.ucla.edu/publications/submit/.
