Competition for Young Scholars
Laboratorium: Russian Review of Social Research invites submissions of
research papers by young authors—students working towards doctoral degrees
and those who received PhDs no earlier than five years ago—doing research
in social sciences: sociology, anthropology, ethnography, social history,
and related disciplines. The contest is open to original papers in either
Russian or English, not previously published or currently under
consideration at any other journal, which are based on empirical qualitative
studies. Only submissions that comply with the standards of a research
article will be considered.
The objective of the competition is to attract young talented scholars, help
publicize results of recent research projects, contribute to new ways to
analyze social processes, and find innovative uses of qualitative research
methods.
The selection committee, consisting of members of the journal’s Editorial
and Advisory boards, will evaluate papers based on the following criteria:
• Originality of empirical data;
• Theoretical, methodological and empirical validity of the analysis;
• The quality and depth of the analysis;
• The study’s contribution to existing discussions of the topic;
• Heuristic conclusions of the study;
• The structure, logic and style of the paper.
Submissions should be approximately 10,000 words, not counting footnotes and
references.
Best articles will be published in the forthcoming issues of the journal,
after having gone through the process of the double-blind peer review.
In addition, the winners will receive cash prizes.
Please send submissions with “young scholars contest” in the subject
line to the journal’s managing editor, Anna Isakova at:
