<h3 id="aims">Aims and Scope:</h3>
<p><em><macro publication.title>(LoV)</em> is a peer reviewed periodical dedicated to fostering a dialogue between scholarly discourses on violence, conflict and trauma in both past and present populations. One of the primary goals of this new journal is to create an inclusive platform designed to reach a broad audience including scientists, academics, policymakers, and the public. To that end, <em>LoV</em> is an open-access journal. Articles will be available to all on the internet, free of charge and without restriction. The objective of <em>LoV</em> is to engage in an interdisciplinary inquiry of the theoretical and empirical issues around the study of violence, conflict, trauma, warfare, and human rights.</p>
<p>Topics of interest include but are not limited to:</p>
<dl>
<dt>The development of hatred and violence</dt>

<p>Given the radical changes in the dissemination of information brought about by the internet we have decided not to follow a traditional print format for the <em>LoV</em>. The journal will be published multiple times a year (see <a href="<macro publication.link>/policies.html#pubfreq" title="Publication Frequency">"Publication frequency"</a>) and will include video and audio formats.</p>
<h2 id="contentsections">Content Sections</h2>
<p><em><macro publication.title></em> publishes Letters to the Editor, Articles, Reviews, Announcements and we also encourage video and audio submission. See the <a href="<macro publication.link>/policies.html#peerreview" title="Peer Review Process">"Peer Review Process"</a> for information on conditions for publication.</p>

White (now in its fourth edition) is the "standard" guide, but other excellent guides (e.g., The Chicago Manual of Style, University of Chicago Press) exist as well.</li> <li>Because this journal publishes electronically, page limits are not as relevant as they are in the world of print publications. We are happy, therefore, to let authors take advantage of this greater "bandwidth" to include material that they might otherwise have to cut to get into a print journal. This said, authors should exercise some discretion with respect to length.</li> <li>Set the font color to black for the majority of the text. We encourage authors to take advantage of the ability to use color in the production of figures, maps, etc., however, you need to appreciate that this will cause some of your readers problems when they print the document on a black &amp; white printer. For this reason, you are advised to avoid the use of colors in situations where their translation to black and white would render the material illegible or incomprehensible.</li> <li>Please ensure that there are no colored mark-ups or comments in the final version, unless they are meant to be part of the final text. (You may need to "accept all changes" in track changes or set your document to "normal" in final markup.)</li> </ul>
