About the Journal

Note for Contributors

Authors should submit two copies of articles, which should preferably be 6,000-7,000 words long, and a brief biographic statement. Manuscripts should be typed, double-spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides. Spellings may conform to British usage. Since articles are sent anonymously for review, the author's name and affiliations may appear on a separate page. Articles submitted for publication should not be under review or in the process of publication elsewhere.

Notes should be double-spaced and placed at the end of the text on a separate page. Note style should follow the Chicago Manual of Style for social science or MLA for Literature. Examples:
