Call for Papers: Deadline July 31st
EREH
Fast Track Meeting, Lisbon, 10.-11. December. 2010
The first Fast Track Meeting was organized in 2008 in Paris by the European
Historical Economics Society and resulted in the publication of three high
quality papers in the European Review of Economic History. Decisions were
made within a few months of submission. Following the success of the first
meeting, the European Review of Economic History announces the second Fast
Track workshop, to be held in Lisbon on December 10th and 11th, 2010. It
will be held with support by the European Historical Economics Society, the
Instituto de Ciências Sociais of Lisbon University, CEPR and the EREH.
The idea of the workshop is to combine feedback and coaching to junior
scholars working in economic history with a chance to see their article
appear in print quickly. To this end, we aim to offer authors a fast and
firm response on their submissions within a little more than four months.
Junior scholars (those no more than 5 years from completion of their Ph.D.)
will receive priority, but submissions from more experienced scholars will
also be accepted. Those interested should submit their papers to EREH, via
Editorial Express, or to Joachim Voth (jvoth@crei.cat), no later than July
31st. If submitting through Editorial Express, please mention in the cover
letter that you would like the paper to be considered for Fast Track. EREH
commits to returning referee reports within no more than 6 weeks to the
authors.
The "fast track" workshop itself will take place on December 10 and 11,
2010. The best submissions will be chosen for inclusion. Authors will be
requested to revise their papers in light of comments received, and to
present their revised article at the workshop. Revised papers should be
re-submitted by no later than 10th November, 2010. Senior scholars (EREH
editors and other members of the European Historical Economics Society) will
act as discussants. The editors aim to make a final decision shortly after
the workshop ends, based on the feedback from the referees, the general
discussion, and their own views on the paper. The process will require a
high level of commitment from both authors and referees/discussants.
Funding for travel and accommodation will be available
