General instructions

For general rules on style, please refer to the Chicago Manual of Style (16th ed., University of Chicago Press, 2010, or the most recent edition) online at: chicagomanualofstyle.org

Keep formatting to an absolute minimum. Do not use desktop publishing features such as justification, centering, or different fonts within the body of the text.

Articles should be typed double-spaced (including footnotes, which should appear at the bottom of the page).

TAB should be restricted to a paragraph indent. The use of italics should be limited to non-English words, book titles, and sub-sections.

Captions (including proper acknowledgements) should be placed at the appropriate position in the article text or sent separately.

Full paper length will be between 20,000 and 80,000 characters (footnotes included).

Abstract and Keywords

On the first article page, after the author’s name and affiliation there should be an abstract or summary of the article in not more than 250 words. Five keywords should be provided and placed below the abstract.

Headings

Headings should be flush left, and preferable unnumbered. First level headings are bold, second level headings are italic. Do not indent the first paragraph following a section heading.

Quotations

British and American styles are both acceptable: British style uses single quotation marks for the first level of quotation and double quotation marks for quotations within quotations.

American style uses double quotation marks for the first level of quotation and single quotation marks for quotations within quotations. Note that in British-style quotations, punctuation appears outside the quotation marks, unless an entire sentence is being cited; in American-style quotations, punctuation appears within the quotation marks.

Quotations of more than four lines, which will be set as indented text in smaller type and line spacing, should not be preceded and followed by quotation marks, and should be double-spaced.

Footnotes

Notes will be typeset as footnotes rather than endnotes. They should be numbered consecutively, double spaced and in the same font size as the main text. A note number may be used only once: sub-numbering of notes (e.g., note 30a) is not acceptable.

Figures

Illustrations and photos, should be submitted in .tiff or .jpg format, scaled at 100%, resolution at least 300 dpi (600 dpi is preferred). Number the files and clearly mark the spot where the photo should be inserted (“insert ill. 2”). Provide the captions at the very end of the article
