About the journal
TopAims and Scope
Critical Quarterly is internationally renowned for its unique blend of literary criticism, cultural studies, poetry and fiction. The journal addresses the whole range of cultural forms so that discussions of, for example, cinema and television can appear alongside analyses of the accepted literary canon. It is a necessary condition of debate in these areas that it should involve as many and as varied voices as possible, and Critical Quarterly welcomes submissions from new researchers and writers as well as more established contributors.
Contributions and correspondence should be sent to:
Kate Hext Critical Quarterly School of English Queen's Building The Queen's Drive Exeter EX4 4QH UK
Sandy Russo Critical Quarterly Department of English University of Pittsburgh Pittsburgh PA 15260 USA
Critical Quarterly welcomes the submission of poetry and critical essays for consideration. Critical essays may take either two forms: (1) an essay of 4,000 - 8,000 words, accompanied by a one-paragraph abstract; (2) a short, topical essay of 1,000 - 3,000 words, proposals for which should be submitted in the form of a one-page summary. Guidelines for contributors are available from Andrew Shail at the above address.
Instructions to Authors
TopAuthor Guidelines
General
Please provide two copies of your text, and an electronic copy (in Word 6.0 for Windows, if possible) on disk.
Hard copies should be:
- clearly typed on one side only of standard A4 paper;
- double (or 1.5) spaced with a good margin (about 2cm) all round;
- unjustified on the right-hand margin;
- numbered by page throughout;
- accompanied by (a) a biographical note on the author (approx 50 words), written in the third person, and (b) the author's full address (including email, telephone and fax numbers);
- a word count at the end of the text;
- Contributors are responsible for the accuracy of all quotations and references included within their article;
- Last-minute revisions cannot be accepted, unless the changes are very clearly indicated. Please do not submit a newly word-processed version unless absolutely necessary in the case of numerous, major changes, as this involves recommencing the copy editing from scratch.
Notes and References
Notes should be used very sparingly. They should be given as endnotes, placed all together at the end of the article, not at the foot of each page. Please do not follow the Harvard system of author plus date of publication, but give details in the following form:
Style for book references
- Alex Mackay, The Western World, or Travels in the United States in 1846-47, 2 vls (Philadelphia, PA: Lee and Blanchard, 1847), vol. 1, pp. 100-1; J. Benwell, An Englishman's Travel's in America: His Observations of Life and Manners in the Free and Slave States (London: Binns and Goodwin, 1855), 37. My attention was drawn to these authors by Dean Hughes, 'Great Expectoration's: Dickens and America', Dickensian, 79 (1983), 67-76.
Style for journal references
- My attention was drawn to these authors by Dean Hughes, 'Great Expectoration's: Dickens and America', Dickensian, 79 (1983), 67-76.
Notes
- Use 'p' or 'pp' only when there could be some doubt as to whether a number refers to a volume, footnote etc. or to a page. For example: Alex Mackay, The Western World, or Travels in the United States in 1846-47, 2 vls (Philadelphia, PA: Lee and Blanchard, 1847), vol. 1, pp. 100-1
- For any work cited previously in the endnotes, do not use 'op cit.', but give last name of author + a short title for the work
- Use 'ibid.' (rom., not itals) only when referring to a reference immediately above.
Where a work is heavily cited, its reference should be given in the text, together with a clear (book title) abbreviation for use with subsequent references if there could be any confusion with other works cited in the same article.
Do not include a bibliography unless it is essential. If used, it should take the following form:
- Cassidy, F. G., and R. B. Le Page, Dictionary of Jamaican English (Cambridge University Press, 1967; repr. 1980).
Evans, Maurice (ed.), Elizabethan Sonnets (London: Dent, 1993).
Style
- Spelling - use 'ise' endings (realise) and follow English usage ('honour', 'travelling', 'defence', 'mould', 'centre', 'plough', etc.
- Italics (shown either by italic font or by underlining) indicates titles of all independent works (books, films, TV programmes, works of art, poems long enough to form a separate publication, newspapers and journals. Italics (not bold) should also be used for emphasis and for foreign words which have not passed into general English usage.
- Single quotation marks indicate titles of articles, short poems, series titles, essays and chapters.
- Use a full point in abbreviations only to indicate missing letter(s) at the end of the word ('ed.', but 'edn' and 'eds.').
- Write out all numbers below 100
- Indicate paragraphs by indenting (approx 5 spaces), not by a line space
- Poetry stanzas - in the case of a page break in the typescript, please indicate clearly whether a stanza runs on to the following page or not (i.e. insert a large space mark (#) in the margin at the foot of the first page if the page break is followed by a new stanza; alternatively, write 'close up' in the margin if no break is intended)
- Quotations
Short quotations (about 3 lines or less) should be incorporated into the text and indicated by single quotation marks (double to be used only for a quotation within a quotation). Punction marks which are not part of the quotation should be placed outside the quoted material. Divide lines of verse quotation by a slash (/) with a space only on the right.
Long quotations should be separated from the surrounding text by a left-hand indentation. Do not use italic font or single spacing to indicate these and do not set them within quotation marks.
Indicate omissions from quoted text with three full points, with a space on either side, within square brackets [...].
Any material added by you to the quoted text should be enclosed within; square brackets []. Please do not use square brackets for any other purpose (e.g. around dates in footnote references).
- References in Articles
There are several software packages available to help authors manage and format the references and footnotes in their journal article. We recommend the use of a software tool such as EndNote or Reference Manager for reference management and formatting.
EndNote reference styles can be searched for here: http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp
Reference Manager reference styles can be searched for here: http://www.refman.com/support/rmstyles.asp
