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, LoV is an open-access journal. Articles will be available to all on the internet, free of charge and without restriction. The objective of LoV is to engage in an interdisciplinary inquiry of the theoretical and empirical issues around the study of violence, conflict, trauma, warfare, and human rights. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: <dl> <dt>The development of hatred and violence</dt> <dd>Being and becoming violent</dd> <dd>Rage, anger, hatred and violence</dd> <dd>Ideas, images and ideologies of hatred</dd> <dt>Violence and the self</dt> <dd>Violence, trauma and victimhood</dd> <dd>Violence over bodies and psyches</dd> <dd>The politics and dialectics of fear and violence</dd> <dd>Mental illness, deviance and violence</dd> <dt>Societal roots of violence</dt> <dd>Inequality, marginalization and injustice</dd> <dd>Alienation, isolation, and marginality as roots and consequences of violence </dd> <dd>Violence as a social pathology</dd> <dd>Social structures and violence or the violence of social structures</dd> <dd>Religion, religious institutions, and their role in curtailing or propelling violence</dd> <dt>Violence in Families, Communities, and Nations</dt> <dd>Domestic violence directed toward families, women, men and children</dd> <dd>Community violence directed toward ethnic, minority, and racialised groups</dd> <dd>Youth and gang violence</dd> <dd>Issues of nationalism, ethnic violence and mass killing</dd> <dt>Discourse on violence</dt> <dd>Symbolic violence</dd> <dd>Views of human nature in the disciplines as naturally violent</dd> <dd>Discourse, ethics and legitimacy: When is violence justified?</dd> <dt>Education and Violence</dt> <dd>Fostering, nurturing, and socialization for violence</dd> <dd>Education and violence; educating for violence</dd> <dd>The promotion of education and educative strategies</dd> <dt>Implications of Violence for Public Policy</dt> <dd>Respect and recognition of diversity and radical difference to prevent violence</dd> <dd>The creation of the non-violent person</dd> <dd>The use of violence to achieve peace (e.g., human/animal rights, resistance movements), anti-globalisation violence, anti-vivisection violence</dd> <dd>Violence as resistance to domination</dd> </dl> 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 LoV. 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. <h2 id="contentsections">Content Sections</h2> <macro publication.title> publishes Letters to the Editor, Articles, Reviews, Announcements and we also encourage video and audio submission.

The use of color to emphasize text is discouraged.</li> </ul> Foreign terms <ul> <li>Whenever possible, foreign terms should be set in italics rather than underlined.</li> </ul> Titles <ul> <li>Whenever possible, titles of books, movies, etc., should be set in italics rather than underlined.</li> </ul> Tables and Figures <ul> <li>To the extent possible, tables and figures should appear in the document near where they are referenced in the text. Large tables or figures should be put on pages by themselves. Avoid the use of overly small type in tables. In no case should tables or figures be in a separate document or file. All tables and figures must fit within 1.5" margins on all sides (top, bottom, left and right) in both portrait and landscape view.</li> </ul> Mathematics <ul> <li>Roman letters used in mathematical expressions as variables should be italicized. Roman letters used as part of multi-letter function names should not be italicized. Whenever possible, subscripts and superscripts should be a smaller font size than the main text.</li> <li>Short mathematical expressions should be typed inline. Longer expressions should appear as display math. Also expressions using many different levels (e.g., such as the fractions) should be set as display math. Important definitions or concepts can also be set off as display math.</li> <li>Equations should be numbered sequentially. Whether equation numbers are on the right or left is the choice of the author(s). However, you are expected to be consistent in this.</li> <li>Symbols and notation in unusual fonts should be avoided. This will not only enhance the clarity of the manuscript, but it will also help insure that it displays correctly on the reader's screen and prints correctly on her printer. When proofing your document under PDF pay particular attention to the rendering of the mathematics, especially symbols and notation drawn from other than standard fonts.</li> </ul> Additional Recommendations <ul> <li>All submissions must be in English. Except for common foreign words and phrases, the use of foreign words and phrases should be avoided.</li> <li>Authors should use proper, standard English grammar. The Elements of Style by William Strunk, Jr. and E. B. 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>New Call for Proposals LoV Seeks Photo Essay Proposals on Refugees and Forced Migration With the intensification of global inequity and the rise of the national security state, human migration, mobility, and transculturality have become central concerns for both policy-makers and researchers. The study of documented and undocumented migration reveals the violent relationship between the Global North and the Global South and the “contentious relationship between sovereignty, space, and freedom of movement” (De Genova and Peutz, 2010). As law making and policy debates devise new ways to criminalize migrants and deploy harsher immigration legislation, it becomes necessary to politically and theoretically interrogate these processes by considering the local and global policies that render new forms of social control not only effective, but also popular. In this thematic edition of Landscapes of Violence—Refugees and Forced Migration—we seek contributors that explore issues related to migration and refugees across academic disciplines and institutional boundaries. This issue seeks to deepen understanding of the impact of immigration law enforcement and policy-making on people and communities through the lens of studies of violence. We welcome proposals from photographers, community members, students, researchers, and others engaged in work on refugee and forced migration for photo essays. Proposals that consider the historical and cultural contexts and processes in which migration occurs are particularly welcome. Deadline for proposals: April 21, 2017 To submit a proposal: Email to LoV Managing Editor Sarah Mathena-Allen at lov@sbs.umass.edu: a 250-word abstract, 50 to 100-word bio-sketch, and up to 5 high-resolution photographs (300dpi ".jpg" file) with a caption and credit in a Word document. Selected Authors If selected, authors will be asked to submit a 500-word essay and up to 10 high-resolution photographs (300dpi .jpg file) with captions and credits in a Word DOC. Authors must have all relevant permissions to publish in LoV any multimedia content not belonging to them. All submissions must follow LoV submission requirements. Accepted photo essays will be published in Landscapes of Violence after review by two independent peer referees considered experts in the subject field. Tentative publishing date: June 30 2017. Questions: Most questions can be answered by reviewing the "about the journal" or "peer-review and open access policies" sections of our webpage. ______________________________________ The goal of (LoV) is to provide a balanced approach to the causes of violence and offer a voice for the human experience behind it. This journal deals with the interrelationships between society and violence seen through the analytical eyes of trans-disciplinary researchers.

If you have any questions regarding our publication process, or would like to submit a proposal for a special issue, you can reach the journal’s office by email at: lov@sbs.umass.edu Contents 1. Submission Policies 2. Peer Review Policy 3. Article Types 4. How to submit your manuscript 5. Manuscript Style 6. Rights for Authors and ScholarWorks@UMass Amherst 1. Submission Policies Anyone may submit an original article to be considered for publication in Landscapes of Violence provided he/she/they own(s) the copyright to the work being submitted or is authorized by the copyright owner or owners to submit the article. Authors are the initial owners of the copyrights to their works (an exception in the non-academic world to this might exist if the authors have, as a condition of employment, agreed to transfer copyright to their employer). Submitted articles cannot have been previously published, nor be forthcoming in an archival journal or book—print or electronic—unless otherwise agreed. In addition, by submitting material to LoV, the author is stipulating that the material is not currently under review at another journal (electronic or print) and that he/she/they will not submit the material to another journal (electronic or print) until the completion of the editorial decision process at LoV. If you have concerns about the submission terms for LoV, please contact the editors. 2. Peer Review Policy LoV operates a double-blind reviewing policy in which the reviewers’ names are always concealed from the submitting author. Authors' names are also always concealed from the assigned reviewers. Manuscripts are initially reviewed by members of the journal’s editorial working group for intrinsic quality, contribution to debate and suitability for the journal. Some submissions may be rejected or be returned with the recommendation to revise and resubmit at this stage, accompanied by comments. Papers that receive a balance of favorable reviews and are considered a high priority for space in the journal will be refereed by specialists in their subject matter. Authors are then sent all the accumulated comments, which may contain suggestions for minor or more substantial revisions. Decisions on manuscripts will be made as rapidly as possible. Authors should be aware that the process of reviewing each submission is lengthy and highly dependent on the specialists. Although we aim to provide authors with a preliminary response within two months of submission, the increasing demands on the time of our specialist peer reviewers will sometimes result in longer turnaround times. LoV is an international journal that seeks to promote new ideas through open access. We encourage and regularly publish submissions from younger scholars and from anthropologists outside the United States and Europe. 3. Article types 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 LoV. The journal will be published multiple times per year (see "Publication frequency") and will include video and audio formats. We do not have an absolute limit on length for our articles (unless otherwise stated). Part of our mission in LoV is to take full advantage of our electronic platform to provide a space for authors to publish articles of any given length. Separately, the authors must prepare an abstract (100-150 words) and four to six key words, which will be uploaded electronically to the system. All texts need to be submitted in English. 4. How to submit your manuscript Before submitting your manuscript, please ensure you carefully read and adhere to all the guidelines and instructions to authors provided here. Manuscripts not conforming to these guidelines may be returned. All submissions to the journal should be made electronically. Please go to: http://scholarworks.umass.edu/cgi/submit.cgi?context=lov 5. Manuscript Style Please see the Manuscript Preparation Guidelines for formatting guidelines. Although initial submissions do not need to follow formatting, we ask the submission to be formatted consistently. The guidelines are required for final submission. File Types: Only electronic files conforming to the journal’s guidelines will be accepted. Preferred formats for the text and tables of your manuscript are Word DOC, RTF, XLS. BePress can provide limited technical support. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the author to produce an electronic version of the article as a Microsoft Word, or RTF file that can be converted to a PDF file. Formatting: Landscapes of Violence follows the Chicago Manual of Style for all matters of including hyphenation, capitalization, punctuation, abbreviations, grammar, and spelling. Click on the link to review the guidelines to ensure your manuscript conforms to this reference style. Manuscripts must comply with the Chicago Manual of Style in order to pass through our initial internal review process. Manuscript Preparation: The text should be 1.15 spaced and in a 12-point font, preferably Garamond or equivalent. This applies to block quotes and excerpts, and references. Tables, figure captions and notes should be single-spaced and in 10-point font, preferably Garamond or equivalent. Margins must be 1.5 inches throughout the manuscript (left, right, top and bottom), with an additional 0.5 inches margin on both sides for block quotes and excerpts.

Abstract and Key Words : Abstracts and keywords should be carefully thought out and precise. Abstracts will be used to draw in potential reviewers and readers. Keywords have a significant impact on how widely read your article will be when electronic searches are done. All submissions must include an abstract and keywords, which will be uploaded directly into BePress. Reference Style: Landscapes of Violence adheres to the Chicago Manual of Style for citations and reference lists. References appearing in the bibliography must be cited in text, and vice versa. In text, references are cited in parentheses, with last name(s), year of publication, and where necessary, page numbers. The reference list should be ordered alphabetically by author's last name; author on one line, primary author last name first; date of publication indented on the next line, followed by title and then publisher's city and name. All subsequent lines should be indented beyond the date. No underlining or boldface should be used in the reference list.

Each image must include a caption with a description and appropriate source information. In the manuscript, please indicate where each image belongs by adding in-text callouts between paragraphs: “<Insert image 1 here>.” Once you have uploaded your manuscript to BePress, you can then use the “Add Supplemental Files” option to upload your images as a Word document. Please include a note to the editors that there are additional images that should be sent out for review along with your manuscript. Audio and Video : Supplemental content is important as the journal tries to extend its online presence. Visual and audio material is welcome and encouraged. Please reference in your manuscript where this material would be relevant, encouraging readers to move beyond the manuscript. Such material can be uploaded through BePress in the Streaming Media section. If your submission will include audio or/and video content please contact us at lov@sbs.umass.edu to receive specific instructions to do this. Tables : Tables should be embedded in your text. Remember to number tables consecutively in the order in which they appear in text. Each table should have a caption. The caption and body of the table should be single-spaced. Figures : Figures should be embedded in your text. Remember to number figures consecutively in the order in which they appear in text. Artwork or figures must be camera-ready: that is, a photographic print of line art, such as a map, graph, or drawing, or a photograph. When possible these supporting documents should be uploaded into the BePress system in a separate Word Document. Each figure should have a caption that articulates the relevance of the figure to the manuscript argument or narrative. 6.
