    What We Publish

    The Hinksey Review publishes original research articles: formal, structured, analytical works of applied research that investigate consequential questions in business, economics, policy, technology, and society.

    We do not publish literature reviews, textbook summaries, opinion pieces, or restatements of established positions. Every submission must make a genuine intellectual contribution: a new argument, a new analysis, a new application of existing theory, or a focused investigation of a real-world problem.

    What We Look For

    Originality

    The contribution must be clearly identifiable. We are looking for work that adds something: a new argument, a new dataset, a new application of existing theory, or a new way of interpreting a real-world problem.

    Rigour

    Claims must be substantiated. Evidence must be sourced and cited. Methodology must be stated and defensible. We hold empirical work to standards of data integrity and analytical consistency, and argumentative work to standards of logical coherence and intellectual discipline.

    Application

    The research should speak to real-world conditions, systems, markets, institutions, or decisions. The strongest submissions answer a question that a practitioner, policymaker, organisation, or serious reader would recognise as worth asking.

    Submission Requirements

    • Ethics: All work must adhere to the Hinksey Review Research Principles.
    • Language: Manuscripts must be written in English.
    • Length: Research articles should be 4,000–6,000 words, excluding the abstract, references, tables, figures, and appendices.
    • Layout: Manuscripts should be formatted in APA style.
    • Typography: Times New Roman, 12 pt.
    • Margins: 1-inch / 2.54 cm margins on all sides.
    • Spacing: Double-spaced throughout, with no extra spacing between paragraphs.
    • Alignment and indentation: Text should be left-aligned, with a 0.5-inch / 1.27 cm first-line indent for each paragraph.
    • Citations: References and in-text citations should follow APA 7th edition.
    • File type: For initial submission, manuscripts must be submitted as a PDF with no identifying information, to allow for anonymous peer review. If a paper is approved for publication, authors will be asked to provide both a final PDF and an editable DOCX version.
