Religious Minorites Online (RMO) – Themes Article

Dear Author,

Keep in mind that your article addresses a wide audience beyond your own discipline. We expect RMO to become the standard reference work for the foreseeable future. Therefore, please avoid focusing on current events or using ‘recently’ and the like. Please note that RMO articles are not meant to be journalistic descriptions of present affairs but analyses with substantial historical depth. In other words: we want to avoid the risk that your article will be outdated not long after publication.

Your article should not exceed 6,000 words including references and abstract. Your article will be part of the RMO section on Themes, while the other two parts will focus on Countries and Communities respectively.

Your article should follow the template (page 2) but you are free to add headings and subheadings for your article.

Abstract and keywords

The summary should be about 200 words long.

Article

Here is a list of topics that we would like to see covered in your article:

In what ways can you define your topic? Be aware that ‘religious minorities’ will be defined in an introductory chapter.

What are the most important questions, controversies, and issues surrounding your topic?

What are the main scholarly perspectives on your topic?

What is the historical background/development of your topic? Are there any historical processes relevant to mention?

Which aspects of this topic need further exploration?

We understand that it is impossible, within 6,000 words, to cover all these topics in great detail. The above list serves primarily as a checklist; if you do not cover all themes, we assume that you find some themes irrelevant for your case study. Yet, please try to be not too selective; some readers might be looking out for information on any of the topics listed above.

Please note that the above list is far from exhaustive. It may well be that there are other themes that are particularly important for your article; in that case, please do not hesitate to put them in focus.
