Author Guidelines
Language
Articles and reviews should be submitted in English. Geographical variations in language usage, such as British English or American English, are acceptable, but spelling variations should be consistent throughout the text. If quotations in other languages are used please provide an English translation in a footnote.
Length
Articles should be between 5000 and 10000 words in length (This does not include footnotes and bibliography, but the final count including footnotes should not exceed 13,000 words).
Book reviews should not normally exceed a length of 1500 words.
Unicode and Non-Roman Fonts
If your manuscript contains non-Roman scripts, please also submit a pdf of the article in which all characters are displayed correctly.
File Format
We prefer files in Microsoft Word document format. We also accept Open Office document format, but if you do send it in Open Office, please also provide a PDF.
Abstract and Keywords
The article must contain an abstract of about 200 words and 2-6 keywords.
Bibliography and Footnotes
Accepted manuscripts must follow the Chicago Manual of Style and should be submitted according to these style guidelines. All references should be in footnotes and numbered throughout the manuscript. If you are not familiar with the Chicago Manual of Style, please see the following homepage for a quick guide: http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html.
Book Reviews
Book reviews should not normally exceed a length of 1500 words. They must contain a critical discussion of the publication(s) under review, rather than merely summarizing the contents. Reviews of considerably greater length (such as reviews of several clearly related titles) may be submitted as a review article, and may or may not contain footnotes and a bibliography.
