About the journal
The Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, the quarterly publication of the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion, has published provocative research for over forty years. Drawing on a rich interdisciplinary cross-section of scholarship -- including religion, sociology, political science, and psychology -- the journal offers perspectives on national and international issues such as brainwashing and cults, religious persecution, and right wing authoritarianism. The journal is an exciting and timely publication to keep readers current with the role and impact of religion in today's world.

Submit four (4) copies, according to the style guidelines. Authors should keep copies of their manuscripts. A processing fee of $10.00 must accompany submissions by nonmembers of the Society. (In the case of plural authorship, one author must hold membership.) Nonmembers outside the U.S. must send either cash (U.S. dollars) or money orders drawn in U.S. dollars.

STYLE GUIDELINES
To facilitate an interdisciplinary format, JSSR continues to correspond closely with the 13th edition of The Chicago
Manual of Style (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1961, 1982). A style sheet is also available from JSSR;
however, the following general rules apply:
Submission and Preparation of Manuscripts
1. Send manuscripts to
Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, c/o Rhys H. Williams, Editor
Department of Sociology,
PO Box 210378,
University of Cincinnati,
Cincinnati, OH 45221-0378,
(513) 556-4717; Fax: (513) 556-0057. e-mail: jssr@uc.edu
Nonmembers must include a $10 processing fee (or may join the Society at time of submission and have feewaived). Checks or other instruments must be drawn in U.S. dollars.
2. Submit 4 hard copies, and an electronic version of each manuscript. Submissions should be 35 pages maximum for articles and 15 pages for research notes, including all supporting materials. Number all pages consecutively.
3. To help expedite and facilitate copy editing:
?Double space entire manuscript, including abstracts, extracts, notes, references, captions, etc.
?Leave margins of at least 1" on top, bottom, and sides. Do not justify right-hand margins or use automatic
hyphenation on word processor.
?Keep format simple, minimizing the use of boldface, all capitals, centering, etc. Underline to indicate
italicized material.
4. Submit a cover page stating date submitted, title, acknowledgments, and information on author(s) to include
position, affiliation, and mailing address. Omit name(s) of author(s) elsewhere in the manuscript, except when
citing previous work, which should always be done in the third person and in such a way that reviewers cannot
identify author(s). BE SURE REVIEW COPIES ARE ANONYMOUS.
5. Include a brief abstract (100-150 words). Include title on abstract page, but omit name(s) of author(s).
6. Notes will be allowed only for content - not references - and only when necessary. Prepare notes on separate
pages (if your word processor has the capability for bottom-of-page footnotes, do not use that feature). Place
notes at end of manuscript.
7. Place tables, charts, etc. last, with one table/figure per page. Approximate the location of each within the text,
e.g., "Table 1 about here."
Citations
Identify all sources within the text, using the author-date system as described in detail on pp. 401-02 of The
Chicago Manual of Style (1982). Citations in the text must agree exactly with the list of references. All sources
that appear in the one place must appear in the other.
Reference Format
1. List all references alphabetically, as shown in Reference Examples below. For multiple sources by the same
author(s), list chronologically from earliest to most recent.
2. Make all references as complete as possible, including volume numbers for journals.
3. Follow examples below for references. If questions remain, refer to The Chicago Manual of Style (1982),
especially p. 422 and pp. 463-64 (Style B), or request a detailed style sheet from JSSR.

Author Services enables authors to track their article - once it has been accepted - through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production so they don't need to contact the production editor to check on progress.
