Introducing Routledge Focus

Routledge is pleased to introduce our new program of short form publications. This exciting new format allows academics the flexibility to publish innovative
peer-reviewed research with a short turnaround.

Routledge Focus is our program of short form publications. Building on our strengths in scholarly publishing through Routledge Research monographs and our Routledge Handbooks Online platform, Routledge Focus offers both established and early-career academics the flexibility to publish cutting-edge commentary on topical issues, policy-focused research, analytical or theoretical innovations, in-depth case studies, or short topics for specialized audiences.
