Manuscript submissions: Submissions to JSR are fully peer-reviewed by members of the editorial
board and their designees. Electronic submissions are welcomed but
must be cleared with the Editor before transmission. Authors wishing to
submit paper manuscripts should send three double-spaced copies to:
Randall J. Stephens, Editor
The Journal of Southern Religion
History Department
Eastern Nazarene College
23 East Elm Ave.
Quincy, MA 02170
General Information: All manuscripts should
follow the Chicago Manual of Style. Please use endnotes that have been
separately typed (i.e., not generated by word processing software); endnotes
will be linked to the text and can be descriptive as well as documentary.
Unsolicited manuscripts should not exceed five-thousand words exclusive
of endnotes and should fit broadly into one or more of the categories outlined
by the journal's editorial policies. Materials submitted to JSR must not have been previously published
nor submitted for publication elsewhere while under review by JSR editors. Inquiries should be directed to the Editor, Randall
Stephens. All submissions should be accompanied by the author's name,
current institutional affiliation, postal and e-mail addresses. Paper manuscripts
will not be returned. In most cases, authors will be notified within ninety
days whether or not their submission has been accepted.
Electronic publication allows for the addition of images
and other visual or auditory aids, and the editors encourage authors to
include such with articles when appropriate. Authors should make certain
that all submitted materials are clear of copyright claims or that they
obtain permission as required by law. JSR reserves copyright privileges
for all materials published.
Acceptance: If a submission is accepted,
the author will sign a contract with JSR assigning copyright to The
Journal of Southern Religion. After making corrections and revisions,
the author should submit the accepted manuscript on 3.5" disk formatted
for an IBM-compatible PC, indicating on the disk what word processing program
was used. On the same disk please include the following: 1) the complete
manuscript saved as an ASCII generic text file; 2) endnotes in a file separate
from the manuscript; and 3) an abstract of fifty or fewer words in a separate
file. Please include at the top of the first page of the manuscript, the
title, your name, your current academic rank (or equivalent), and your
institutional affiliation. Send disk and one revised hard copy to Randall
Stephens at the address given above. Normally, the revised manuscript will
be copyedited and uploaded to the JSR site within three months after
receipt of the disk. At the present time, JSR does not provide authors
with offprints of published materials, but we will notify you by email
when your manuscript is published online.
Solicited essays should conform to the same
criteria but are not restricted by word length requirements.
Book reviews should be between 500 and 1,000
words, but we have no formal limit. Scholars interested in submitting book
reviews to JSR should contact Book Review Editors Lee
Willis or Art Remillard. Book reviewers should consult the Book
Review Style Sheet before submitting reviews.
