Preparation of manuscripts
Please note: This journal does not accept Microsoft Word 2007 documents at this time. Please use Word's "Save As" option to save your document as an older (.doc) file type.
Manuscripts must be double-spaced and must include text, tables, figure captions, and references in a single .doc, .rtf, or .tex file. The full address, e-mail address, telephone number, and fax number of the corresponding author should appear on the title page, with a one- or two-sentence biography to appear in the "Notes on Contributors" section. For articles, in addition to the full title, authors should supply a running title that will appear at the heads of the pages. A short abstract should also be provided. For further information on the style to be used, please consult the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th ed.
Your manuscript should be saved as a .rtf or .doc document and submitted online.
The journal does not currently accept emailed, faxed, or hard-copy submissions, nor does it consider simultaneous submissions.
Permissions
The author is responsible for obtaining all permissions required to reprint any material from other copyrighted permissions. Both print and online permission are required. Guidelines on obtaining permissions and a form to be used are available from the editorial office; please also see http://www.oxfordjournals.org/access_purchase/permissions_guidelines.html for more information.
Permissions are required to reuse figures, photos, illustrations, and significant portions of text from other copyrighted works. A “significant portion of text” can be defined using a combination of both quantity and quality. Current guidelines suggest that a single prose extract of less than four hundred words; a series of prose extracts of less than 300 words each, with the series totaling less than 800 words; and 40 continuous or separate lines from a poem, provided that this does not constitute more than 25 percent of the poem, would not require permission to reprint. However, if the material quoted could be considered the heart of the original work, permission may be required. Quotations should be kept as short as possible to avoid quoting a large percentage of the work.
When quoting from other works, please consider
how much of the work is being quoted.
if the quotation is the heart of the original work.
Please see http://www.oxfordjournals.org/access_purchase/permissions_guidelines.html for more guidance.
Figures
Please be aware that the requirements for online submission and for reproduction in the journal are different: (i) for online submission and peer review, please upload your figures either embedded in the word processing file or separately as low-resolution images (.jpg, .tif, .gif or.eps); (ii) for reproduction in the journal, you will be required at revised submission stages to supply high-resolution .tif files (600 d.p.i. for line drawings and 300 d.p.i. for color and half-tone artwork). We advise that you create your high-resolution images first as these can be easily converted into low-resolution images for online submission. For useful information on preparing your figures for publication, go to http://dx.sheridan.com/onl/.
Please note that all labels used in figures should be in upper case in both the figure and the caption. The journal reserves the right to reduce the size of illustrative material.
The number of illustrations should be kept to a minimum. Captions for figures should be listed on a separate sheet. All tables must bear a title. Footnotes may be used in the tables but not in the text.
Advance Access Online Publication Procedure
Literary Imagination operates an Advance Access publication system, which means that once your proofs are approved, the final version of your paper will be hosted immediately on the Advance Access part of the Literary Imagination web site. You will receive an email with a URL allowing you to view your paper online. The process of Advance Access publication takes only 4–6 weeks from submission to Oxford Journals. Your article is now officially published and will remain on this page, accessible only to paid subscribers, until it is assigned by the editor to an issue. Please see the 'Offprints' section below for ordering offprints.
Your article can still be cited before it is assigned to an issue by way of its DOI number that you will see at the top of the article. The volume and issue will be assigned once the article moves to an issue, although the DOI remains the same. If you have any queries about this form of publication then feel free to ask the editorial office.
Offprints & Gratis Copy
Authors will be given free online access to their articles and must fill out the offprint order form to claim 1 free issue. Please ensure this form is turned in prior to publication or the issue cannot be dispatched.
Hard copy offprints can be ordered using the offprint order form received with proofs. The offprints will not be dispatched until the article is assigned to an issue. Please note that there can be a time delay before your article is assigned to an issue. We recommend that you sign up for the electronic table of contents alerting service (which you can find on the home page of the journal) and review the issues published to see when your article is assigned to an issue, or you may wish to simply keep in touch with the editorial office for information on the issue to which your article has been assigned.
Authorship
All persons designated as authors should qualify for authorship. The order of authorship should be a joint decision of the co-authors. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for the content. Authorship credit should be based on substantial contribution to conception and design, execution, or analysis and interpretation of data. All authors should be involved in drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content, and must have read and approved the final version of the manuscript. Assurance that all authors of the paper have fulfilled these criteria for authorship should be given in the covering letter.
Conflict of interest
Potential financial interests must be disclosed to the Editor in the form of a statement in the covering letter. This statement will be published at the Editor's discretion. The conflict of interest test is simple: is there anything that would embarrass you or any of your co-authors if it were to emerge after publication and you had not declared it? All sources of funding must be disclosed as an acknowledgement in the text.
Author self-archiving/public access policy
For information about this journal's policy, please visit our Author Self-Archiving policy page.
Copyright
It is a condition of publication in the Journal that authors grant an exclusive licence to the Journal, published by Oxford University Press. This ensures that requests from third parties to reproduce articles are handled efficiently and consistently and will also allow the article to be as widely disseminated as possible. In assigning the licence, authors may use their own material in other publications provided that the Journal is acknowledged as the original place of publication, and Oxford University Press is notified in writing and in advance.
Please note that if you have more than one article or poem being published, we will need a separate form for each piece.
Upon receipt of accepted manuscripts at Oxford Journals authors will be invited to complete an online copyright licence to publish form.
Please note that by submitting an article for publication you confirm that you are the corresponding/submitting author and that Oxford University Press ("OUP") may retain your email address for the purpose of communicating with you about the article. You agree to notify OUP immediately if your details change. If your article is accepted for publication OUP will contact you using the email address you have used in the registration process. Please note that OUP does not retain copies of rejected articles.
