The Imbas Journal

Imbas: The Journal of the National University of Ireland, Galway Postgraduate Medieval Studies Conference.

A selection of papers will be published in our newly established peer-reviewed journal,  The  Imbas  Journal. This journal will be made available via our website and open-access journal databases. By offering these two publication options, the committee aims to continue to contribute to research on the Middle Ages and to further the academic development of the delegates.

Preliminary Publishing Guidelines
