Edinburgh University Press is committed to the dissemination of knowledge and we invite authors to submit manuscripts to a wide range of EUP journals across a variety of subject areas.
Each Edinburgh University Press journal has its own submission guidelines. The full instructions to contributors can be accessed from each journal’s homepage.

Digital Illustrations

Optimise your article for search discoverability
There are a number of ways to ensure your article is found by readers, who tend to find articles online via search engines (for example Google, Yahoo) rather than browsing. It is important to optimise your article so that it is more likely to be discovered by readers.
Article Title
Try to make the title of the article as clear, accurate and descriptive as possible.
Abstracts
Every article published on EUP Journals Online will display an abstract. Where an abstract is not supplied by the author, Edinburgh University Press will extract the first-page image of the article print PDF to post as an abstract on EUP Journals Online.
The advantage of including an abstract is that search engines pick up its key words and phrases. It is important to ensure the abstract spells out clearly what the article covers and mentions any terms that people searching for such an article might be likely to use.
Keywords
Up to six keywords should be supplied with every article submitted for publication. Keywords should be repeated in the title or abstract and reflect the content of the article, again to ensure search engine optimisation.
