Guidelines

EMF: Studies in Early Modern France publishes scholarly articles that focus on an announced theme. For a complete list of EMF themes, contributors, and essays, see Tables of Contents.

Submissions, prepared according to the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing, should be sent to either the co-editors (see contact information) or the guest editor. Each article submitted is usually read by two reviewers.

Because the simultaneous submission of an article to more than one refereed journal can result in duplication of the task of reviewing manuscripts, it is EMF's policy not to review manuscripts that are under consideration by other journals.

____________________

EMF Critiques publishes manuscripts of scholarly interest to those concerned with the study of the early modern period in France. Manuscripts may be in either English or French. For a complete list of Critiques and excerpts from recent titles, see Tables of Contents.

EMF Critiques does not accept unsolicited manuscripts. Authors wishing to have their manuscript considered should first send a prospectus, table of contents, and current curriculum vitae to Anne L. Birberick or Russell J. Ganim (see contact information).

Because the simultaneous submission of a manuscript to more than one press can result in duplication of the demanding task of reviewing, it is EMF's policy not to accept manuscripts that are under consideration by other presses.

Text Preparation Guidelines for Authors

Follow the guidelines in the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition, Part 2. In addition, please note the following.

Bibliography/List of Works Cited or Consulted

If possible, submit one list of works cited or consulted (for articles or book contributions) or one bibliography (for book-length manuscripts), alphabetized by author. Where an author has more than one work, list in alpha order by title.

For titles in a language other than English, use the American English spelling for the city of publication.

When the publisher is a university press, e.g., Syracuse University Press, abbreviate as Syracuse UP.

Parenthetical References and Notes

All references to books and articles must appear in minimal form between parentheses within the text. If the author is mentioned by name immediately before open parentheses and has only one work in the bibliography or list of works cited, enter only the page numbers between parentheses. If the author’s identity is not clear from context, include the last name immediately after the open parenthesis. If several works by the same author appear in the bibliography/list of works cited or consulted and the title referred to is not clearly identified before the parenthesis, a short title must appear within the parenthesis, immediately after the author’s name, if it must be included. A comma will appear between the author’s name and the title of the publication cited.

Endnotes only should be used only for additional commentary; references to works in the additional commentary will be in parenthetical reference form.

Complete publication data are given only in the bibliography or list of works cited or consulted.

Varia

Double hyphens should be replaced by 1/m dashes without preceding or following spaces.
