Author Guidelines

Submitted articles must not be under consideration or review at any other publication. Authors should ensure that all self-identifying information (including metadata) is removed from all parts of the submission except the cover page. Authors may indicate if they would like their submission to not be sent to a particular person for review if there is a concern, e.g., bias. Referees are nevertheless assigned at the editor’s discretion.

An article should be 5000-8000 words, Chicago style (in text), please keep notes to a minimum. Illustrations are welcome, 300 dpi at print size, .jpg. Authors are responsible for all illustration copyrights.

The finished article should include a 125–150 word abstract and 5–7 keywords. Articles will be double blind peer-reviewed, edited and published online as they are submitted to the journal.

We respond to an author within two months to acknowledge the submission of an article or an abstract. If a submitted article is sent out for peer review a response may take longer time, typically two to four months. If longer than two months an editor will inform the author that the process is taking longer time (this can be due to the process of finding suitable reviewers).
