Manuscripts must be submitted in triplicate. They are reviewed on a double-blind basis; the author's name should therefore not appear on any page of the manuscript. Instead, a cover letter should be attached, indicating authorship, the title of the manuscript, and full contact information: address, phone number, fax number, and e-mail.

The Donald W. Treadgold Papers addresses primarily regional specialists, and should be written in a readable style, with a minimum of jargon. Our interest is in original research based in primary sources (both written and oral).

All manuscripts should adhere to the following style guide:

1. The title should be centered on the first page of the manuscript, with the text beginning immediately below the title. Type the title in block letters.

2. In the first reference to any person, the full name should be spelled out: first name, middle initial (or patronymic), family name. In subsequent references, family name only will suffice. In the first reference, the person's office or title or importance should be indicated.

3. "Mr.", "Ms.", "Mrs.", "Miss", "Dr.", and "Prof." are not to be used in the text. "General", "Mayor", "President", "Fr.", and "Sir" (as in "Sir Michael Rose") are appropriate and should be used.

4. Acronyms and abbreviations should be kept to a bare minimum. UN, NATO, COMECON (or CMEA), US, USSR, EC, EU, and WTO are acceptable. No other acronyms should be used. If you are writing about the Russian Orthodox Church, do not refer to this organization as the "ROC": spell it out.

5. All dates should be written in European style, day--month--year, e.g., 24 June 1924.

6. Do not use Latin expressions, other than Ibid. and et al. in the notes. Do not use "op. cit." Ibid. means the same source as cited in the immediately preceding note, and can be used only when there is only one source cited in the immediately preceding note. Ibid. is not used together with an author's name.

7. Do not use bodynotes.

8. Use endnotes, not footnotes or bodynotes. Endnotes should conform to the following style:

a. The first reference to any book should contain the author's full name, the complete title (including subtitle), the city of publication, publisher, date, and relevant pages.

Example: John Meyendorff, Byzantine Theology: Historical Trends and Doctrinal Themes (New York: Fordham University Press, 1974), p. 213.

b. If the work is a translated work, the name of the translator and the language of the original should be indicated.

Example: M. N. Pokrovsky, Brief History of Russia, trans. from Russian by D. S. Mirsky, reprint of the 1933 edition (Boston: University Reprints, 1968).

c. Subsequent references to a book already cited should use the author's last name (or, in the case of multi-authored works, the first author's last name and "et al."), and an abbreviated title.

Example: Meyendorff, Byzantine Theology, pp. 43--44, 48.

Example: Adorno et al., The Authoritarian Personality, pp. 21--88, 565--567.

d. The first reference to a journal article should provide complete bibliographic information, including the author's full name, the complete title of the essay, the name of the journal, the volume number, issue number, month or season, year of publication, and pages being cited.

Example: Quoted in Nicolas Zernov, "The 1917 Council of the Russian Orthodox Church", in Religion in Communist Lands, Vol. 6, No. 1 (Spring 1978), pp. 14--15.

e. Subsequent references to a journal article already cited should use the author's last name and an abbreviated title.

Example: Zernov, "1917 Council", p. 20.

f. Citations to chapters in edited books should provide the author's name, the title of the chapter, the complete name(s) of the editor(s), and complete bibliographic information for the book in question.

Example: Marc Szeftel, "Church and State in Imperial Russia", in Robert L. Nichols and Theophanis G. Stavrou (eds.), Russian Orthodoxy under the Old Regime (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1978), p. 137.

g. Citations to newspapers should provide the name of the newspaper, the city of publication when it is not part of the name of the paper itself, the date of the issue cited, and the page.

Examples Pravda (Moscow), 13 October 1962, p. 4.

New York Times (20 February 1984), p. A8.

Pravda (Bratislava), 8 January 1972, p. 13.

When only one newspaper with a given name is cited, the city of publication need not be cited in subsequent references. (E.g., in the examples provided, if only Moscow's Pravda is cited, it is not necessary to indicate the city of publication after the first reference, but if two different Pravda's are cited, then it would be necessary to identify, in each occurrence, which Pravda is the source of the information cited.)

Do not provide the name of the journalist who wrote the newspaper article in question or the headline attached to the article cited.

g. Material cited from Nexis or other computer data bases should cite both the original source and the given data base.

Example: Washington Post (4 August 1992), p. A2, on Nexis.

h. Material cited from FBIS should cite both the original source and the given translation service.

Example: Politika (Belgrade), 8 August 1992, p. 7, trans. in FBIS, Daily Report (Eastern Europe), 10 August 1992, p. 45.

i. Cite book titles and journal articles in the languages given. If you read a book in German, give the title in German. If you read an Albanian article in an Albanian journal, give the title in Albanian.
