About the journal
Vernacular Architecture is the annual journal of the Vernacular Architecture Group, which was founded in 1952 to further the study of traditional buildings. Originally focused on buildings in the British Isles, membership and publications have increasingly reflected an interest in buildings from other parts of the world, and the Group actively encourages international contributions to the journal.
Papers are welcome from both professionals and amateurs on all aspects of vernacular architecture, including theoretical or discursive treatment of the subject, the practical, technical and scientific aspects of the study of buildings and materials, the historical development of buildings, comparative studies of regional or wider interest, and accounts of individually significant buildings, often those which have been tree-ring dated. All papers are peer-reviewed. The journal also contains an annual list of tree-ring dated buildings in the British Isles, with dating details as well as descriptions of the buildings, and has a sizeable section of reviews of recent publications
Vernacular Architecture is now indexed in ISI Web of Knowledge
We are delighted to announce that Vernacular Architecture is now included in the Arts and Humanities Citation Index.
Instructions to Authors
Vernacular Architecture welcomes original papers that match the aims and scope of the Journal on the understanding that the paper has not previously been published, and is not being concurrently submitted for publication elsewhere. All papers will be sent to independent referees. It is a condition of publication that on acceptance of the paper by the Journal Editors that copyright must be assigned to The Vernacular Architecture Group.

Potential contributors are invited to discuss submissions at an early stage.
All papers will be subject to independent refereeing, the referees remaining anonymous unless they specifically wish to be identified.
Authors, or their funding agency, may sponsor an article for open access publication. For information on article charges and how to exercise this option visit www.maney.co.uk/moreopenchoice. These notes are intended only to provide an overview. Address enquiries to the Journal editor.
Supplementary material
Additional material (e.g. datasets, models, animations or videos) that enhances the content and impact of articles. Supplementary material is intended to support arguments advanced in the article; it must not refer to other work nor contain discussion or conclusions that go beyond the content of the article. The inclusion of supplementary material is at the discretion of the Editor whose decision on its relevance and appropriateness is final. Supplementary material should be referred to in the main text, but must be self-contained and supplied as separate files. Refer to each item of supplementary material in parentheses within the text: (Supplementary Material 1), (Supplementary Material 2) and so forth. See the detailed instructions here on submission and presentation of supplementary material.
Presentation
Content: Articles should concentrate on the theoretical or discursive aspects of vernacular architecture or related subjects, comparative studies, or analyses of individual buildings or features, provided these are of more than local interest.
Articles should not be longer than 8000 words including references. Short papers, especially those on individual buildings, should normally be 500–3000 words. All papers may be illustrated by drawings of suitable quality and by photographs (reproduced in black and white).
Abstract: Articles should begin with a brief abstract of not more than 150 words.
Acknowledgements should be placed before the References.
In order to keep down processing costs and editors’ time, contributors are asked to note the following when preparing an article or review for submission:
In the first instance, two copies of the text should be submitted in hard copy only, double spaced, with margins of at least 30mm on both sides and at the bottom of the paper. All pages must be numbered together with a brief indication of author and title.
If accepted for publication, a copy on computer disk will be required. The software must be IBM-compatible and MS WORD is the preferred option.
Ensure your files are not saved as read only.
Please use double-spacing for text and notes. Do not use extra spacing between paragraphs, but indent the first word of each paragraph.
Text
Style: The house style is based largely on the Modern Humanities Research Association Style Guide (2008). For timber-framing terminology use Recording Timber-framed Buildings: an illustrated glossary, CBA Practical Handbook No 5 (various editions). Obtainable for a small sum from the CBA, Bowes Morrell House, 111 Walmgate, York YO1 9WA, UK.
Spelling and hyphenation: Please use ‘s’ not ‘z’ in words such as recognise. Centuries should be written in words, not figures. Hyphens should be used to join two words used as adjectives. Thus ‘Crown posts of similar form…’ but ‘Crown-post roofs….’
Plates and figures should be referred to as Figures. When in a bracket use (Fig. or Figs), outside the bracket write the full word. Authors should indicate in the margin of the hard copy where they wish the figures to go.
Sub headings in the text: If there is a gradation of these, make sure this is clear to the editor.
Measurements may be in imperial (4ft, 5in) or metric (4m, 5mm) with no space between number and unit and no full stops. The alternative equivalent should be placed in brackets afterwards.
Quotations: Short quotations should be placed in single inverted commas. Double inverted commas are only used for quotations within quotations. Quotations of more than 40 words should start on a separate line, set in from the main body of the text on both sides; no quotation marks are required.
References
References in the discursive papers should be in endnotes, not footnotes. Within the text, the numbers should be sequential and placed in superscript, always after punctuation, and usually after the full stop at the end of the relevant sentence. They must be numbered manually, not automatically, and the references, with corresponding numbers, must be saved in a separate file. Note numbers should never be repeated. Later references should either be in a shortened form, e.g. ‘Brown, 1986, 62’ or ‘Brown, Cob Cottages, 62’; or, where several works by the same author are cited, the note can refer back to the full reference, e.g. ‘Brown, op. cit. in note 6, 48’. Ibid. should only be used for the immediately preceding note where there is no confusion. Op. cit., loc. cit. and ibid. should not be italicised.
In the Tree-Ring Dating Lists, the references should be placed in brackets within the text.
Page numbering should be written as 1–2, 20–2, 120–3, except in the teens where 111–12.
The following is intended as general guidance for layout, the MHRA Style Guide gives detailed guidance on how to handle complex references:
Books: M. W. Barley, The English Farmhouse and Cottage (London: Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1961), 54.
Book in a series: John Schofield, The London Surveys of Ralph Treswell, London Topographical Society, 135 (1987), 106–7.
Paper in an edited volume: I. Tyers, ‘Tree-ring dating at Cressing Temple, and the Essex curve’, in D. Andrews (ed.), Cressing Temple, a Templar and Hospitaller Manor in Essex (Essex County Council: 1993), 77–83.
Articles in journals: R. F. Taylor, ‘A cob dovecote at Durleigh’, Somerset Archaeol. Natur. Hist. 112 (1968), 101–3.
With the exception of Vernacular Architecture, which may be referred to as VA, journal titles should be abbreviated according to the CBA conventions, e.g. J. for Journal, Soc. for Society, Proc. for Proceedings, Archaeol. for Archaeology, etc. and all minor words removed. Abbreviations should have a full stop after them.
Illustrations
Size: Illustrations may occupy all or part of a page (print area 242mmx168mm), or part of a single column (242mmx80mm), allowing space for the caption. There will be a tendency, where clarity allows, to make illustrations fit the column width. The need to have large illustrations must be discussed with the editor. Provisional sizing and layout of illustrations is helpful. Ensure that all illustrations are numbered. (e.g. Fig 1; Table 1).
Line drawings should be originals where possible, although high-quality copies may be suitable. It is helpful if these are to a larger scale than required for printing. Please indicate preferences as to required reduction.
Photographs may be submitted as slides or prints. Please indicate, on a copy, areas which may be ‘cropped’.
Electronic images should be supplied in CMYK format as good-quality TIFF or EPS files, suitable for printing. As a guide images should be submitted at a minimum input scanning resolution of 300 dpi for full colour, 350-400 dpi for half tones, 600 dpi for slides or transparencies, 800 dpi for simple line and 1200 dpi for fine line illustrations. Please note that the final reproduction quality is dependent on original supply of correct format and resolution. All scanned images should be accompanied by a hard copy print out for reference. The author must obtain written evidence of permission to reproduce images (in all formats, in perpetuity and in all geographical regions worldwide) from the copyright owner for the use of any illustrative matter in the journal and will be liable for any fee charged by the owner of the image. The caption should include relevant credit of the permission of the copyright holder to reproduce the image. For more information please see www.maney.co.uk/authors/copyright.
Captions will be set in type and should be provided on a separate sheet, not as part of the illustration.
