International Trade, Politics and Development (ITPD) is a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal of international trade, economics, political science and development studies.
Aims and scope
When submitting a manuscript, authors will be taken to a service called Paperpal Preflight, an AI-driven tool that checks manuscripts against the journal’s author guidelines. Authors are free to use or bypass this step and submit directly to ScholarOne.
