Guidelines for Submitting Manuscripts
Please adhere to the following guidelines when submitting your work to Istoria:
- Submit ONE electronic copy of your paper and a separate copy of your abstract as MS Word attachments to istoria@u.washington.edu, Subject Heading: Istoria. (Note: Historiographical essays and book reviews do not require an abstract).
- Enclose TWO hardcopies of your manuscript and abstract in a sealed envelope marked "Istoria" and place in the Istoria mailbox in Smith Hall room 320. If you are from outside the History department and do not have access to room 320 the department staff in room 315 can assist you. If you are unable to deliver your manuscript in person, please send it by mail to the following address:
Istoria Journal
University of Washington, Department of History
315 Smith Hall, Box 353560
Seattle, WA. 98195-3560
- All submissions must have a detachable cover page containing the following information: Title of the work, author's name, author's email address and telephone number, and author's department of affiliation. Please include a title on the paper as well as on the cover page but do NOT include your name, contact information, or any other information that indicates authorship anywhere on the manuscript itself.
- Abstracts may not exceed 250 words in length. Papers may not exceed 35 typed, double-spaced pages, exclusive of citations and notes.
- Manuscripts must be typed, double-spaced, and employ standard font, size, and margins.
- Manuscripts must be the author's original work and contain full citations in accordance with the Chicago Manuel of Style, 15th Edition. Please use footnotes rather than endnotes.
- The editors reserve the right to remove submissions from consideration if they do not conform to the above guidelines.
- All materials must be received on or before December 15, 2008 in order to be considered for the Spring 2009 issue.
- Istoria is a peer-reviewed publication. Manuscripts will be read by at least two members of the editorial staff and/or outside readers. Every effort will be made to match submissions with those readers most familiar with the subject matter and scholarly debates surrounding the topic. Readers will then make one of the following three recommendations to the editorial board: 1) accept; 2) revise and resubmit; 3) reject. Those papers accepted upon condition of revision will be returned to the author, whereupon the author will have a mutually agreed upon timeframe to make the requested changes.
