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.
