Submissions The JHB is not soliciting submissions at present. The Journal of Historical Biography invites the submission of articles that address any aspect of historical biography. These may include biographical portraits of prominent individuals of any nation; theoretical, methodological or philosophical pieces that reflect on the larger issues associated with writing biography or autobiography; standard reviews of works of historical biography or of works that discuss the writing of historical biography; and longer review essays of a more reflective nature. Submissions in English or French will be accepted. Manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Historical Biography should be original material and should not currently be under consideration by other journals. » Submission
Instructions
Submission Instructions Work should be submitted by e-mail in Word or RTF format to the e-mail address shown on the Contact page of this site.Authors’ names and institutional affiliations should be included in submitted manuscripts. For full-length articles, including full-length review articles, a short paragraph about the author (between one hundred and one hundred and fifty words) should be submitted in a separate file. Style Guidelines As a general rule, articles should not exceed ten thousand words, and the number of notes should not exceed one hundred. Reviews should fall between eight hundred and two thousand words in length, although article-length reviews will also be considered.Submissions should be double-spaced, in a Times New Roman 12 point font. Paragraphs should be indented, rather than separated with a space. Authors are asked to use Canadian spelling. Capitalization should follow the model of the Chicago Manual of Style. Titles should only be capitalized when used as part of a name: e.g. President Ulysses S. Grant, but Ulysses S. Grant, the president of the United States. Dates should be written according to the following example: 23 March 1847 (rather than March 23, 1847). Please write out numbers one to ninety-nine, round numbers (hundreds, thousands, hundred thousands, millions, etc.), and any number that begins a sentence. Use commas for numbers over one thousand (e.g. 3,560 ). Authors are asked to use double quotation marks, with single quotation marks for a quotation within a quotation. Periods and commas should be placed inside closing quotation marks, whether this punctuation forms part of the quoted material or not. Place exclamation points and question marks outside of closing quotation marks, unless these punctuation marks form part of the quoted material. Endnotes, rather than footnotes, are preferred. Citations should be formatted according to the Chicago Manual of Style, Humanities style. Acknowledgments (if applicable) should be given in an endnote at the beginning of the notes section.
