BYU Studies—Submission Guidelines
BYU Studies publishes scholarship that is informed by the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Submissions are invited from all scholars who seek truth "by study and also by faith" (D&C 88:118), discern the harmony between revelation and research, value both academic and spiritual inquiry, and recognize that knowledge without charity is nothing (1 Cor. 13:2).
BYU Studies Quarterly features learned perspectives relevant to Latter-day Saints. Contributions from all disciplines are invited. Personal essays, short studies, poetry, art, and significant historical documents are welcomed.
To be accepted for publication, however, a submission must clearly communicate all of the following:
- It is informed by the restored gospel of Jesus Christ
- The author knows and clearly conveys what is at stake
- The submission contributes new knowledge or insight
- It is accessible to educated non specialists
Submissions are considered by the editor in chief and staff editors. If the submission merits further review, it is considered by one or more members of the editorial board, which is composed of scholars from a wide range of disciplines. Together they determine whether the submission merits peer review. If so, well-informed and responsive scholars provide reviews on which acceptance or rejection is based. This process takes three months or less.
BYU Studies rarely considers work that has been previously published (including on the Internet), is under consideration elsewhere, or that may be the property of another publisher.
BYU Studies Quarterly uses the Chicago manual of style.

Steven C. Harper—Editor in Chief
Steven C. Harper is a professor of Church history and doctrine at Brigham Young University. He was named editor in chief of BYU Studies Quarterly in September 2018.
After serving in the Canada Winnipeg Mission and marrying Jennifer Sebring, Steve interned at BYU Studies in 1993. Because Steve had studied paleography, Editor in Chief John W. (Jack) Welch invited him to assist in comparing the journals of William McLellin with transcripts Jack was editing with Jan Shipps for joint publication by BYU Studies and the University of Illinois Press. That experience set the course of Steve’s career.
After graduating from BYU with a BA in history, he earned an MA in American history from Utah State University, where his thesis analyzed determinants of conversion to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the 1830s. Chapters were published in the Journal of Mormon History and Religion and American Culture and awarded by the Mormon History Association with the T. Edgar Lyon Award for best article of the year and the Juanita Brooks Award for the best graduate student paper.
Steve earned a PhD in early American history from Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. He began teaching courses in religion and history at BYU Hawaii in 2000 and joined the religious education faculty at BYU in 2002. That year he also became a volume editor of The Joseph Smith Papers and the document editor for BYU Studies. He taught at the BYU Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies in 2011–2012.
His first book was Promised Land (Lehigh University Press, 2006), a study of Lenape or Delaware Indians’ responses to a fraudulent 1737 land deal in colonial Pennsylvania. He also authored Making Sense of the Doctrine and Covenants (Deseret Book, 2008), Joseph Smith’s First Vision (Deseret Book, 2012), and First Vision: Memory and Mormon Origins (Oxford University Press, forthcoming), along with dozens of articles.
In 2012 Steve was appointed as the managing historian and a general editor of Saints: The Story of the Church of Jesus Christ in the Latter Days. |

Roger Terry—Editorial Director
Roger joined the BYU Studies team in June 2006 after serving seven years as a senior editor at the Ensign and the Liahona. Prior to that, he was (as he and his wife like to joke) self-unemployed—running his own business, the funcompany, but not making much profit (funcompany motto: “We’d have more fun if we had more money”). In a former life, he taught for nine years at BYU's Marriott School of Management and edited the school's alumni magazine. Roger earned a BA in German and an MBA, both from BYU. He likes to write in his spare time, which has resulted in several books, numerous articles and essays, a few newspaper editorials, a blog, and even a few pieces of short fiction. He is married to Sheri Peterson, and they have four children, all of whom have graduated from BYU. They also have three grandchildren. Roger enjoys playing basketball (at an ever-slower pace), reading everything from cosmology to economics, watching way too many athletic events, working in the yard, avoiding Facebook, taking family vacations, and eating chocolate (for health reasons, of course). |

He is thrilled to be part of an organization where he can learn about the latest scholarly papers on LDS history and doctrine during staff meeting.
