About the journal
About the Journal
For nearly fifty years, History of Religions has set the standard for the study of religious phenomena from prehistory to modern times. History of Religions strives to publish scholarship that reflects engagement with particular traditions, places, and times and yet also speaks to broader methodological and/or theoretical issues in the study of religion. Toward encouraging critical conversations in the field, HR also publishes review articles and comprehensive book reviews by distinguished authors.
Instructions to Authors
Information for Contributors
History of Religions prefers electronic submission of manuscripts. We accept paper manuscripts from authors who do not have access to the electronic mail. Such manuscripts may be sent to:
History of Religions
Swift Hall, University of Chicago
1025 E. 58th St.
Chicago, IL 60637
Manuscript Formats
History of Religions publishes scholarship in several formats. Articles ought to make theoretical or methodological interventions in the study of religion generally speaking; History of Religions will decline to review pieces better suited for an area studies journal. Most articles are 7,000-15,000 words in length. History of Religions will also consider for publication short (under 1,000 words) comments or replies to articles that have appeared in the last year; queries and submissions can be directed to hrjournal@uchicago.edu.
Review articles typically consider several recently-published books on related topics are sometimes invited by the editorial board but may also be proposed by interested scholars. Please direct queries to hrjournal@uchicago.edu. Book reviews are generally solicited by the editorial board according to guidelines which it provides.
History of Religions publishes only in English, though manuscripts may be submitted in other languages; funds exist for translating into English articles accepted for publication. Contributions submitted for review should not have been published previously in any form or language. Manuscripts should be double-spaced, in 12-point font; all pages should be numbered. Footnotes, numbered in sequence throughout the paper, should be gathered together and typed double-spaced at the end. All further questions regarding formatting and citations may be resolved by reference to the most recent edition of the Chicago Manual of Style.
Guidelines for Manuscript Preparation
General
All accepted manuscripts must be accompanied by a signed copyright transfer form as they are transmitted to the University of Chicago Press (UCP) for publication.
Before a manuscript is transmitted to UCP, all negotiations between the journal office, peer reviewers, and authors with regard to its content, organization, etc. must have been resolved. This includes any necessary permissions for use of content within the manuscript that is not the author’s own.
All components of the manuscript, without exception, must be present on transmission to UCP.
All components of the manuscript (including online-only appendixes, tables, figures, etc.) must have been refereed during peer review.
All files transmitted to UCP must have been opened to check for usability.
Manuscript and PDF files submitted to UCP must match in every detail; that is, they must represent the same version of the article, with exactly the same content, exactly the same wording, and so on.
To avoid uncertainty about the text and possible translation errors, all change tracking in Word files must be resolved before the files are submitted to UCP.
The components of the manuscript (sections, subsections, appendices, title, subtitles, and all others) must be organized to match the appropriate article type (major article, brief report, letter to the editor, etc.) for the journal. See the journal’s “Information for Contributors?and recent issues for guidelines.
It may be difficult to render a specially created or very esoteric character in print and/or online, and this may result in delays in publication. Therefore, where possible, authors should select standard characters that can be reproduced easily. Especially in all equations, authors should use standard mathematical notation.
Authors must ensure that all footnotes conform to the journal’s specific style rules for markers, marker order, location, and so on. What is standard in one journal may not be correct in others. Particular care should be taken in the preparation of footnotes for journals that use footnotes as the primary method of citation of sources. For guidelines, see the journal’s “Information for Contributors,?as well as the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition.
Figure files should be submitted as separate files. The quality of graphics in the PDF used for peer review is not acceptable for print publication.
If any revisions were made to the figures during the peer review process (e.g., changing from color to B+W), in addition to incorporating those revisions, you must make any other appropriate changes to the figures, figure keys, or legends.
File Naming Conventions
UCP accepts electronic files for articles in the following formats: LaTeX (*.tex; UCP prefers AASTeX), Microsoft Word (*.doc), Corel WordPerfect (*.wpd), or RTF (*.rtf). All parts of the article (title page, abstract, body of article, reference list, figure legends, tables, etc.) can be in a single file or in multiple files. There should be one graphic file (*.eps or *.tiff) for each figure in the article. Please observe the following file naming conventions (EXT = the appropriate file extension as indicated above):
| ms.EXT |
the text file for the article (should include all parts of the article) |
| refs.EXT |
if submitting the reference list as a separate file |
| figures.EXT |
if submitting the figure legends as a separate file |
| tables.EXT |
if submitting a separate file for the tables (optional) |
| tb1.EXT, tb2.EXT, etc. |
if submitting separate files for each table (optional) |
| fg1.EXT, fg2.EXT, etc. |
graphic file names |
| video1.EXT, video2.EXT |
accepted video formats: animated GIF (*.gif), MPEG (*.mpg), QuickTime (*.mov, *qt), MP4 (*.mp4), AVI (*.avi) Please consult with the Press if other format is used. |
| audio1.EXT, audio2.EXT |
accepted audio formats: MP3 (*.mp3), QuickTime (*.qt), WAV (*.wav) Please consult with the Press if other format is used. |
| datafile1.txt, datafile2.txt |
ascii machine-readable data files for Astronomy journals |
| LaTeX Users: |
If you are using BiBTeX, you MUST submit your *.bbl file along with your article. |
Abstracts
Abstracts should meet the journal’s standards for length, internal structure, use of abbreviations, and so on. Because abstracts are often published separately, they should not contain specific reference citations.
Online-Only Content
Where possible, the online and print content of articles should match. Designation of content as “online only?should be reserved for content that (1) cannot be rendered in print or (2) would substantially lengthen the print version of the article.
Content that is “supplemental?(i.e., not integral to the body of the article) should be placed in an appendix, which will be published both in print and online unless it satisfies the criteria for online-only content specified above. Note that “supplemental?and “online only?are not synonymous and may or may not coincide.
Figures
Please see our guidelines on figure preparation for detailed editorial and technical information.
Figures must be numbered consecutively in order of their citation in the text.
Size
Figures should be submitted in the approximate size at which they will be published but should be able to withstand reduction.
Formats
Our electronic publishing process requires the use of EPS or TIFF files. We cannot accept files from MS PowerPoint, MS Excel, or MS Word. However, you may submit a high-resolution PDF of graphics from those applications. Please see the Guidelines for Submission of Artwork for information about producing high-resolution PDFs.
Resolution
Line Art: Optimum resolution for line art files is 800 dpi.
Grayscale: Optimum resolution for grayscale files is 600 dpi.
Photographs: Optimum resolution for photographs is 300 dpi.
Color: Optimum resolution for CMYK files is 300 dpi.
Line Weights
Avoid thin lines, particularly in figures requiring considerable reduction. Use solid black lines that are at least 1 point thick. Do not use the “hairline?width option that many computer programs offer.
Fonts
Please use the same font type for all figures in your article; use standard fonts such as Times, Arial, Helvetica, or Symbol. Type should be crisp and clear and should be chosen to be legible at publication size. No type should be smaller than 6 points.
Figure Legends
Figure legends should be included on a separate page with the manuscript.
Gray Scale
When preparing gray scale figures, use gray levels between 20% and 80%, with at least 20% difference between the levels of gray. Whenever possible, use different patterns of hatching instead of grays to differentiate between areas of a figure. Gray scale files should not contain any color objects.
Color
Black-and-white files should not contain any color objects.
For journals that publish color graphics in the print edition,
-
Color figures should be published only when the color represents meaningful content or assists the reader in interpreting the data; otherwise, they should appear in black-and-white both in print and online. Conversely, black-and-white versions of color figures are published in print only when the black and white versions are useful to readers and there is no loss of content or readability. If content or readability is compromised in black and white, the figure should be published in color both in print and online.
- Figures that are intended to be printed in color should be prepared as CMYK (i.e., four-color) files, not RGB (three-color) files. RGB files cannot be used for printing and must be converted to CMYK, which can result in undesirable color shifts.
For journals that do not publish color graphics in the print edition,
-
If submitting artwork in color, please make sure that the colors you use will work well when converted to grayscale. Use contrasting colors with different tones (i.e., a dark blue and a dark red will convert into almost identical shades of gray).
Tables
Please see our guidelines on table preparation for detailed editorial and technical information.
Tables should be reserved generally for the presentation of numerical data. “Verbal?content, especially simple lists, should be formatted and presented as appendixes.
Tables must be numbered consecutively in order of their citation in text.
Individual tables should not have multiple parts that are unlike in structure and content. These should be presented as separate tables.
Tables must be prepared with appropriate software, such as the table modules in Microsoft Word or LaTeX, rather than with a graphics program or by simple typographical arrangement within a word processor.
Authors should consult recent issues of the journal to see how data sets similar to their own have been formatted into tables. It is possible that rows and columns should be reversed or that some information should be moved from table cells to footnotes.
Authors should be aware of the dimensions of printed pages when preparing their tables; the table must fit on the page and it should be clear and readable when printed in the journal’s font size for tables.
Combined graphics and tabular data are almost always best submitted as a single figure rather than as a single table or a separate figure and table. However, special characters or symbols that are small enough to fit in table cells and that coordinate well with the data can be published as part of a table.
References
Authors must ensure that all references and citations conform to the journal’s style rules. What is standard in one journal may not be acceptable in another.
Every in-text citation must correspond to an entry in the reference list. Conversely, every entry in the reference list must be cited in the text.
For journals that use numbered references, references must be numbered consecutively in order of citation in the text, including the text of the footnotes. References that are first cited in a figure or table should be numbered according to the position of the first callout of that figure or table in the main text (not where the figure or table actually appears on proofs).
Wherever possible, authors should gather reference information from the original publications, not secondhand from online databases or other authors?citations.
Authors must ensure that author names in the reference list are spelled consistently and correctly both in the reference list and in the in-text citations.
All URLs and e-mail addresses must be both complete and current—that is, neither outdated nor “under construction.?We will not publish URLs or e-mail addresses that are not usable and up to date at the time of publication.
Mathematical Notation
If possible, all equations and mathematical expressions should use standard mathematical notation.
It must be possible for all equations and mathematical expressions to appear within the limits of a printed column or page in the journal.

Can I post a copy of my paper on the Internet?
In general, you may post a copy of your paper on your personal or institutional web server, provided that the server is non-commercial and that appropriate credit is given to the journal, including the exact copyright notice as printed in the journal. The form of the copyright notice is: ?2xxx by [name of copyright holder]. For pre-publication versions of your paper (i.e., pre-prints), appropriate credit means a statement prominently displayed on the paper itself, specifying the paper's status, date, and journal name. (For example: "Submitted (or Accepted) for publication to (by) Journal Name on MM/DD/YYYY.") A link to the journal's home page or the journal article should also be included. Please consult the Permissions Department should you have a question about appropriate credit.
Some journals may place additional conditions on posting. Please consult the journal's home page for details.
Can I post the published version of my paper?
We encourage you to use or refer to the final, definitive version of your paper whenever possible. You have the choice of posting the PDF version of your paper or posting the citation, abstract (if present), and a link to the HTML version hosted on the Press's server. You may not, however, post proofs of your paper.
When can I post my paper?
We place no conditions on posting a paper intended for submission (but not yet submitted) to one of our journals, except to note that posting a paper online may, in some cases, constitute prior publication - for example, posting to a commercial venue and/or to a venue with a formal review and approval process. Please consult the journal's editor if you have questions about whether or not a particular use constitutes prior publication.
Many journals use an anonymous (blind) peer review system. Please be aware that posting a paper intended for submission or submitted to such a journal may compromise the confidentiality of the refereeing process and delay or prevent a decision based on the paper's merits. The refereeing process is described in the contributor guidelines for each journal, or consult the journal's editor.
Typically, you may post a paper accepted for publication at any time prior to publication, provided that the conditions described in this FAQ have been met. Some journals, however, do not allow pre-publication versions to be posted or impose additional restrictions; please consult the journal's home page for details.
We encourage you to use or refer to the final, published version of your paper as soon as it is available (remember that articles published by the Press are often made available online before the print edition is released).
Please note, however, that some journals may require an embargo period be observed before you may post the published version of your paper. Consult the journal's home page for details.
Can I submit my paper to an online pre-print or working paper archive?
To avoid citation confusion, we encourage you to post your paper online only in its final, published version. If you choose to submit a pre-publication version of your paper to a non-commercial, discipline-specific pre-print or working paper archive, however, we require that appropriate credit is given to the journal as described above and ask you to remove the working paper from the archive after your paper is published or replace it with the published version.
Please also note the comments regarding prior publication and anonymous peer review in the previous section of this FAQ.
Can I include my published paper in an official institutional repository?
You may place your published paper in a non-commercial data repository maintained by an institution of which you are a member, provided that all relevant conditions described in this FAQ and on the journal's home page are met. Your paper may be made publicly available after the appropriate embargo period* has been observed. You are responsible for informing the manager of the institutional repository of the embargo period that must be observed.
*Embargo periods are as follows: American Journal of Human Genetics: 6 months; Astrophysical Journal and Supplement Series, Astronomical Journal, Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific: 3 years; all other journals: 12 months.
Are there any fees attached to posting my paper online?
There are no fees attached to posting your paper according to the terms described in this FAQ and on the journal's home page, except that a modest fee may be charged if we supply you with the PDF of your published paper.
Can I republish my paper in another print publication?
You have the non-exclusive right of republication of your paper, in whole or in part, in any book for which you are an author or an editor, provided that you give credit to the journal. The credit should include the exact copyright notice as printed in the journal, as described earlier in this FAQ. There is no fee for such use.
Can I use my paper for teaching purposes in my classes?
You may use your paper for teaching purposes in your classes, including making multiple copies for each student, either individually or as part of a printed course pack, provided such course pack will be used solely for classes you teach. You do not need to seek permission for such use and no fee will be charged.
Can another author republish my article or a portion thereof without permission?
Your article or portions of your article may be used by other authors in their publications. Small portions may be reprinted without permission from the Press, provided such use falls within the Press's guidelines for fair use of copyrighted material (available in PDF format). For all other uses, the author and/or publisher must seek permission from the Press.
