Contemporary Medusa accepts publication from all over the world and covers a wide range of gender-related disciplines with an intersectional framework and a focus on political, economic, socio-cultural, religious, educational, linguistic, psychological, scientific, technological, environmental and other internal/external influences driving the parameters of gender conformity. Types of contributions include: original research papers, review papers, conference papers, dissertation summaries, brief data reports and empirical research articles written in English, French and Arabic not under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Contemporary Medusa is assembled to present and discuss a spectrum of issues including, but not limited to:

Contemporary Medusa is a biannual journal, published regularly twice a year.

The journal considers providing a barrier-free access to full texts on the principle of providing a global knowledge exchange.

There are no fees for manuscripts processing and online publishing (for hard copies authors must contact the chief editor for payment and shipping).

The journal takes anonymity very seriously, protects secrecy and requires that the editorial team, the advisory board, the editor in chief and the publisher must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone else but the corresponding author (s).

Contemporary Medusa requires all its authors and editors to declare any conflict of interest that may subjectively influence any decision about a publication.

All persons involved in the act of publishing their works (including the editors, reviewers and the editor in chief) are not allowed to make individual decisions and should expect that their submissions will be anonymously evaluated and handled with the same rigour as anybody else. In other words, the editorial members can have their manuscripts published as long as the peer review is carried out without bias.

Should any plagiarism be identified in any submission, the manuscript will not be considered for publication (the anti-plagiarism policy applies even to editorial board members). The journal is strictly against full, partial and self-plagiarism and does not accept previously published manuscripts that contain new data. We hereby declare to authors that we are using a software tool for checking all submissions for similarity score (plagiarism reports are later sent out to authors as a proof of their acts).

Authors retain all rights, including intellectual property rights associated with any idea, process, methodology, theory and concept.
