Luso-Brazilian Review Guidelines for Authors
Updated August 2021
The Luso-Brazilian Review publishes interdisciplinary scholarship on Portuguese, Brazilian, and Lusophone African cultures, with special emphasis on scholarly works in literature, history, and the social sciences.
The journal welcomes new manuscript submissions sent via our online journal management system (link below). We do not accept unsolicited book reviews except proposed book review essays approved by an editor.
The Luso-Brazilian Review recommends that authors familiarize themselves with the content of the journal by reading recent issues (link). In whichever field they are written, manuscripts should emphasize the Lusophone world and contribute original arguments that would be of interest to the journal’s readers.
The Luso-Brazilian Review accepts manuscripts in the following fields:
- Literature
- Cultural Studies
- History
- Social Sciences
We do not, for example, accept submissions in the areas of political science, creative writing, or fiction.
It is expected that authors read and adhere to our submission guidelines. Submissions that do not follow the guidelines will be sent back to authors.

Publishing Fees
UW Press accepts publishing fees for gold open access, color pages, LaTeX conversion, and page charges. Page charges are requested when a research grant or other institutional funds are available to underwrite publication costs. The ability to pay is not a condition for acceptance of a manuscript.
Authors may elect to have their article, or a portion of their article, appear in 4-color, for a fee. Depending on the length of the article and/or number of images, authors may choose either a 4-page ($650), 8-page ($700), or 16-page ($950) signature. Upon manuscript acceptance, please indicate your wish to print in color to the managing editor.
Email [email protected] for assistance.
Gold Open Access
UW Press offers Gold Open Access (OA) for articles published in our journals. This means a peer-reviewed and accepted article can be made freely readable, for a fee. The authors, their institutions, or their funding bodies must pay the article processing charge. When the article is posted online, it will be freely readable with no embargo. We publish OA articles under the CC-BY-ND-NC license, which allows access but not commercial reuse. Authors retain their rights to the article.
