Submissions of articles and book reviews in the humanities are currently being accepted for the winter issue of Agora. Please download our Call for Papers flyer to post on your campus! A working definition of "humanities" may be found at the National Endowment for the Humanities website. Articles may be submitted in fields that appear on the NEH's list. Book reviews may be written about scholarly works in the same disciplines that have been published in the last 5 years. If you are unsure whether your research qualifies as humanistic, email the editor-in-chief. Please read our current issue to get an idea of the kinds of works we are interested in. In-depth, original research will be greatly preferred to short essays with minimal sourcing. Eligibility for publication is limited to undergraduate students at any four-year institution in the United States or Canada. Format guidelines are given below. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: The deadline for submissions for the winter issue of Agora is October 23, 2004. Papers and reviews should be sent as an e-mail attachment to the editor-in-chief at JenniferSiepel@tamu.edu. Documents should be saved as text files or as Microsoft Word documents. Carefully read the format guidelines below before submitting. Failure to adhere to these guidelines could result in rejection. Back to topFORMAT GUIDELINES: Length. Papers must be between 4,000 and 8,000 words of text, excluding footnotes. Book reviews should be limited to 2,000 words of text. Footnotes and Citations. Citations must be submitted as footnotes. Please do not use parenthetical in-text citations. For the first reference to a work, include the full bibliographic citation in the footnote (author(s), title, place of publication, publishing company, copyright date). Footnotes referring to works cited in the immediately previous note should cite "Ibid." and the page number. Footnotes referring to works cited in previous notes should include the author's name, followed by "op. cit." and the page number. (Please note that book reviews may parenthetically cite page numbers from the book being reviewed.) Please consult the reference style in the current issue or contact us with further questions. Following these guidelines greatly increases a paper's chances of being reviewed. Spacing and Alignment. Papers should be double-spaced and justified. Please type only one space after each mark of punctuation, rather than two. Book reviews. Book reviews must be accompanied by a full bibliographic citation of the book being reviewed, including the author/editor, title, publication information, copyright date, number of pages, paperback/hardback edition, and listed retail price. Style. Authors are encouraged to follow a standard research style book, such as the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing or The Chicago Manual of Style.
