Style Sheet for Authors—Journal of Central Asian Studies
Submissions must conform to the following requirements in order to be reviewed for publication.
1. Length: Articles submitted for consideration should generally be between 3500-7000 words, including notes; longer pieces may be considered at the discretion and judgment of the editor. On occasion, shorter contributions that are focused on recent field work or concise philosophical or methodological topics are published under the rubric “Research Notes.” The latter are not peer-reviewed—all other articles are refereed using a “double-blind” system, in which both authors and reviewers remain anonymous.
2. Submission
process: Two copies of the article
should be provided to the editor. A
separate cover sheet indicating authorship, academic or professional
affiliation, and both a current mailing and e-mail address should be
included. Articles should NOT be under consideration by any other publication at
the time of submission, or while the article is under review by the Journal of Central Asian Studies. Time required for review will generally
depend upon the article’s topic; a general rule of thumb is 3-6 months, but
more time may be required for submissions of an esoteric nature. Articles
may be submitted as e-mail attachments, but two additional hard copies must be
provided as well.
3. General
style issues: Authors should use Times New Roman, 12 point as the selected
font style and size, including endnotes. Text should be left-justified, except for the
article title and block quotations.
Quotations longer than four lines should appear as blocked quotations,
singled-spaced and indented eight spaces from the left hand margin. All
foreign words and phrases must be transliterated according to the Library of
Congress system—diacritical marks will not be reproduced, and should not be
included. Placement of graphs, charts,
maps, etc., should be clearly indicated in the text. Subheadings should be bolded and placed at
the left hand margin, one double space below the previous section. The
endnotes must be single-spaced, with one double space between each note, and
should be aligned with the left hand margin.
4. Citation and documentation of sources: All submissions must use endnotes as the documentation format—articles using other systems will not be considered. Notes should be sequentially superscripted throughout the text, and appear in the same form at the end of the document. Do not embed notes in the text, using MicroSoft Word—notes should appear as text at the end of the article. (Authors may use the automatic note feature, and then copy and paste the notes at the end of the article—this will normally require manually re-numbering the notes, once pasted at the conclusion of the article). Authors should use “Ibid.” and “op. cit.” whenever appropriate in the citation listing. No parenthetical references should appear in the text, and a “References” section or bibliography should not be included. Each endnote should contain full bibliographical information, including page numbers. Do not indicate page numbers using “p.” or “pp.” Informational notes appear in the same sequence with citations. Authors should utilize the following examples:
