Instructions to Authors
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Voices: The Journal of New York Folklore is a membership magazine of the New York Folklore Society.
The New York Folklore Society is a nonprofit, statewide organization dedicated to furthering cultural equity and cross-cultural understanding through programs that nurture folk cultural expressions within communities where they originate, share these traditions across cultural boundaries, and enhance the understanding and appreciation of folk culture. Through Voices the society communicates with professional folklorists and members of related fields, traditional artists, and a general public interested in folklore.
Voices is dedicated to publishing the content of folklore in the words and images of its creators and practitioners. The journal publishes research-based articles, written in an accessible style, on topics related to traditional art and life. It also features stories, interviews, reminiscences, essays, folk poetry and music, photographs, and artwork drawn from people in all parts of New York State. Columns on subjects such as photography, sound and video recording, legal and ethical issues, and the nature of traditional art and life appear in each issue.
Information for Contributors
Editorial Policy
Feature articles. Articles published in Voices represent original contributions to folklore studies. Although Voices emphasizes the folklore of New York State, the editor welcomes articles based on the folklore of any area of the world. Articles on the theory, methodology, and geography of folklore are also welcome, as are purely descriptive articles in the ethnography of folklore. In addition, Voices provides a home for "orphan" tales, narratives, and songs, whose contributors are urged to provide contextual information.
Authors are encouraged to include short personal reminiscences, anecdotes, isolated tales, narratives, songs, and other material that relates to and enhances their main article.
Total length, including citations, should not exceed 4,000 words.
Reviews and review essays. Books, recordings, films, videos, exhibitions, concerts, and the like are selected for review in Voices for their relevance to folklore studies or the folklore of New York State and their potential interest to a wide audience. Persons wishing to review recently published material should contact the editor. Unsolicited reviews and proposals for reviews will be evaluated by the editor and by outside referees where appropriate. Follow the bibliographic style in a current issue of Voices.
Reviews should not exceed 750 words.
Correspondence and commentary. Short but substantive reactions to or elaborations upon material appearing in Voices within the previous year are welcomed. The editor may invite the author of the materials being addressed to respond; both pieces may be published together. Any subject may be addressed or rebutted once by any correspondent. The principal criteria for publication are whether, in the opinion of the editor or the editorial board, the comment constitutes a substantive contribution to folklore studies, and whether it will interest our general readers.
Letters should not exceed 500 words.
Style
The journal follows The Chicago Manual of Style. Consult Webster¡¯s Third International Dictionary for questions of spelling, meaning, and usage, and avoid gender-specific terminology.
Footnotes. Endnotes and footnotes should be avoided; incorporate such information into the text. Ancillary information may be submitted as a sidebar.
Bibliographic citations. For citations of text from outside sources, use the author-date style described in The Chicago Manual of Style.
Language. All material must be submitted in English. Foreign-language terms (transliterated, where appropriate, into the Roman alphabet) should be italicized and followed by a concise parenthetical English gloss; the author bears responsibility for the correct spelling and orthographics of non-English words. British spellings should be Americanized.
Publication Process
The New York Folklore Society holds copyright to all material published in Voices: The Journal of New York Folklore. With the submission of material to the editor, the author acknowledges that he or she gives Voices sole rights to its publication, and that permission to publish it elsewhere must be secured in writing from the editor. Although the editor welcomes inquiries via electronic mail, please use regular mail to submit manuscripts.
For the initial submission, send three paper copies and a PC-formatted disk (preferably prepared in Microsoft Word and saved as Rich Text Format).
Copy must be typed double spaced, on one side of a sheet only, with all pages numbered consecutively. To facilitate anonymous review of feature articles, the author¡¯s name and biography should appear only on a separate title page.
Tables, charts, maps, illustrations, photographs, captions, and credits should follow the main text and be numbered consecutively. All illustrations should be clean, sharp, and camera-ready. Photographs should be prints or duplicate slides (not originals). Written permission to publish each image must be obtained by authors from the copyright holders prior to submission of manuscripts, and the written permissions must accompany the manuscript (authors should keep copies).
Materials received by the editor are acknowledged upon receipt. The editor and two anonymous readers review manuscripts submitted as articles. The review process takes several months.
Deadlines permitting, authors read and correct galley proofs for typographical errors.
Authors receive two complimentary copies of the issue in which their contribution appears and may purchase additional copies at a discount. Authors of feature articles may purchase separate offprints; price information is available upon publication.
