Publication is central to IBIRC’s educational purpose. We aim to help researchers, teachers, students and interested readers find reliable scholarship and resources on Iraq and the Middle East.

Our publication framework supports peer-reviewed articles, edited scholarly work, research reports, conference outputs and accessible educational materials. The format should suit the intended audience and the public benefit of the work.

Research publications

Research published under the IBIRC name is subject to the Centre’s quality framework. This includes qualified internal review, verification of references and factual claims, appropriate checking of empirical work, acknowledgement of contributors and disclosure of conflicts of interest.

Researchers are encouraged to use reputable journals, scholarly presses and recognised cultural outlets compatible with our charitable objects. External publication may require additional review under the chosen outlet’s own procedures.

Educational resources

Our planned resource provision includes recorded talks, teacher guides, reading lists, annotated bibliographies, workshop materials and explanations for non-specialist audiences. Each resource should communicate its purpose, intended audience and appropriate use clearly.

Learning materials follow a separate review process involving subject and education expertise, with trustee approval under the learning-materials framework. This helps ensure that the materials are accurate, understandable and useful for learners.

Access and reuse

We seek to make outputs openly available where feasible and permitted by copyright, including through the Centre’s website, partner platforms and suitable repositories. Access arrangements and reuse rights depend on the individual publication.

Please consult the licence or copyright notice attached to each item before reproducing, adapting or redistributing it. A journal article licence should not be assumed to apply to all website content, images, archival material or teaching resources.
