We invite submissions from undergraduate students (broadly defined as any student not currently enrolled in a doctoral program) on topics that focus on the successor states of the Habsburg Empire and comprise the modern states of Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and parts of Italy, Poland, Ukraine, Romania and Serbia. Submissions can include academic articles, GIS maps, interactive resources, games, VLOGs, or any other compelling union of technology and research.

All submissions should be accompanied by an abstract and biography. The abstract should be approximately 100 words that includes a summary, the main argument, and sources and methods should be submitted with the manuscript.

Manuscripts are received by the journal manager and assigned to an editor. All manuscripts are internally reviewed by two editors for suitability to the journal, innovative content, and conformity to scholarly and reporting standards according to the CEY Rubric. Following this review, authors may be contacted with questions or requests for revisions. Student authors who submit to the journal should be prepared to work with a faculty advisor as well as a journal editor to make appropriate revisions to their submissions. The process of revision and resubmission is a standard academic practice. Authors may also be notified that the journal does not wish to pursue publication of the manuscript.
Central Europe Yearbook is an open access, web-based journal. Manuscripts accepted for publication are posted on the web site immediately upon final acceptance. There are no submission or article processing charges. As an open access journal, Central Europe does not require authors to transfer full copyright ownership to the journal as a condition of publication. Authors will grant a nonexclusive license in their work to Central Europe and the University of Minnesota Libraries. Such a license gives Central Europe and the Libraries the necessary rights to publish, distribute, archive, and preserve the work. However, since the license is non-exclusive, all of the rights will still also belong to the creator, who may make any use they wish, and may grant other licenses as desired. The result of this license agreement is that the author, Central Europe, and the Libraries will each have broad rights to the work.
