Somali Studies: A Peer-Reviewed Academic Journal for Somali Studies accepts scholarly papers in broad areas and disciplines on Somalia, Horn of Africa, and the Somali diaspora around the globe.

2. The journal publishes manscripts in English and Somali languages in a clear and correct style. 

3. The manuscript should follow the academic standards with appropriate methodology for each discipline. The citation and references can be in any style as long as the format is consistent throughout the manuscript.
