Submissions

Write for Mongolia Weekly

Mongolia Weekly invites submissions from contributors who can offer clear, original analysis on Mongolia’s political, economic, and social landscape. To help you prepare a strong piece, please review the following guidelines:

What We Look For

Insightful commentary that goes beyond headlines, drawing on structural trends, historical context, data, or comparative perspectives.
Op-eds of maximum 800 words written in clear, direct English and accessible to a general audience.
Strong arguments supported by evidence and hyperlinks to credible sources.
Writing that avoids academic scaffolding, jargon, and signposting such as “first, second, third” or “in this article I will.”
Analysis that explains why the issue matters now and what readers should take away.

Use of Visuals

Authors may include charts, infographics, photographs, or maps that strengthen the analysis.
Visuals must be high-resolution, copyright-safe, and accompanied by clear captions.
For charts, include underlying data or source links so our team can verify or recreate visuals in our house style.
Visuals should clarify the argument rather than act as decorative filler.

Editorial Process

Submissions may be reviewed by subject-matter specialists anonymously.
All accepted drafts are edited for clarity, precision, and house style before being returned for author approval.
Because the review process requires time and care, submissions must be exclusive to Mongolia Weekly while under consideration.

Who Should Submit

We welcome contributors at all experience levels, including those writing in English as a second language.
Our editors work closely with authors to ensure the final piece is polished and accessible.

Submission Requirements

Your piece must be original, unpublished, and not under review elsewhere.
Please include a one-sentence author bio with your submission (institutional affiliation, research focus, or professional background).
