All submissions to the International Journal of Systematic Theology are made via the online editorial office at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ijst, where full instructions and a help facility are available. All submissions must conform to the Submission Requirements below. Please note that if a submission does not conform, it may be unsubmitted for reformatting. Any queries in this connection should be sent to Dr Paul T Nimmo (paul.nimmo@ed.ac.uk).
What follows is a summary of our submission requirements. More detailed instructions pertaining to the presentation of accepted articles is available here.
Submission Requirements for Journal Articles
1. Articles will not be considered for publication if they have been previously published in English or are currently being considered for publication elsewhere. Articles will be double blind-reviewed: therefore no material identifying the author should appear anywhere.
2. Contributors should include at the start an abstract of around 100 words. Including this abstract (and all footnotes), articles should not normally be longer than 8000 words in length, although longer articles may occasionally be considered by the Editors.
3. Text in Hebrew or Greek should either be transliterated and italicized or rendered in the original script with full pointing / accents and breathings. Articles should be checked after uploading to Manuscript Central to ensure that any Hebrew or Greek text has not corrupted.
4. Contributors may follow UK or US spelling conventions, provided they do so consistently, but should avoid any of the following abbreviations: ‘f.’, ‘ff.’, ‘op. cit.’, ‘ibid.’, and ‘idem’. Direct quotations should, however, follow the spelling, punctuation and capitalization of the original.
5. Articles should be formatted at line-and-a-half spacing and in 12-point font throughout (including all footnotes), and should incorporate a margin of at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) all round.
6. Footnotes should be numbered sequentially, and references should follow these formats:
1 Gerald O’Collins, Christology: A Biblical, Historical, and Systematic Study of Jesus (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1995), p. 29.
2 John P. Galvin, ‘Before the Holy Mystery: Karl Rahner’s Thought on God’, Toronto Journal of Theology 9 (1993), pp. 201–3, 211–14 and 231–7.
3 Werner G. Jeanrond, ‘Hans Küng’, in David F. Ford, ed., The Modern Theologians, 2nd edn (Oxford: Blackwell, 1997), p. 162.
4 Galvin, ‘Before the Holy Mystery’, p. 230 n. 21.
