Journal of American Studies seeks to critique and interrogate the notion of "America", pursuing this through international perspectives on the history, literature, politics and culture of the United States. The Journalpublishes original peer-reviewed research and analysis by established and emerging scholars throughout the world, considering US history, politics, literature, institutions, economics, film, popular culture, geography, sociology and related subjects in domestic, continental, hemispheric, and global contexts. Its expanded book review section offers in-depth analysis of recent American Studies scholarship to promote further discussion and debate. The journal is intended not only for students and scholars, but also for general readers with an interest in the United States.

Contributors should keep one copy of the typescript for correcting proofs. 3. Text preparation Spelling and punctuation may conform either to British or American usage, providing it is consistent throughout. In either case quotation should follow the style of the original. Use -ize (as in organize), connection, enquiry, judgement, focussed, role; elite, regime (without accents), but communique. Quotations: Long quotations (i.e., of 50 words or more) will be set apart in smaller type, without quotation marks. They should also be indicated on the typescript. Shorter quotations will be set in the text, with double quotations within quotations, use single inside double. Punctuation: All commas and periods ending quotations should appear inside the quotation marks; other punctuation goes outside unless it is actually part of the matter quoted. Thus: We have been told "The sun never shined on a cause of greater worth." But: Did the sun never shine on "a cause of greater worth"? Ellipsis within a sentence should be indicated by three ... spaced periods. Ellipsis at the end of a sentence should be indicated by three spaced periods following the sentence period, i.e. four periods in all. Indentation: The first line of articles and of sections within articles and of reviews should not be indented. All other paragraphs begin with indentation. Dates: 13 January 1976 (but 13 Jan. in footnotes); March 1978; 1920s; 1965-68; 1904- 08 (except in headings: 1771-1773); seventeenth century; always abbreviate months in footnotes.

Abbreviations: Mr., Dr., Jr., Sr. (as in Richard Henry Dana, Sr.); but USA, USSR, UN, NATO, ACLS, DAB, PMLA (without periods). Ibid., et al., etc., loc. cit. (roman with periods). Tables: Use space rather than vertical rules, unless the latter are absolutely essential sources and notes should appear immediately below each table. Footnotes should be used sparingly: in general, to give sources of direct quotations, references to main authorities on disputable questions, and evidence relied on for a new or unusual conclusion. They should be numbered consecutively, and placed, double spaced, at the end of an article. Capitalization: southern, northern, southerner, northerner, governor, President of the United States, South, North, Mid-west.
