About the journal
History and Purpose
The Journal of Folklore Research, a publication of the Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology at Indiana University, was established in 1964 by Richard M. Dorson. Until 1983, it was known as the Journal of the Folklore Institute. The name change signaled an expansion in scope, and today JFR's editorial board includes folklorists from four continents. Devoted to the study of the world¡¯s traditional creative and expressive forms, the Journal of Folklore Research provides an international forum for current theory and research among scholars of folklore and related fields. The current editor is John McDowell. Since July 2002, JFR has been published and distributed by Indiana University Press.
The Editorial Board welcomes substantive articles of current theoretical interest to folklore as an international discipline. In addition to topical, incisive articles, authors contribute timely reports on new books; assess the current state of folkloristics; and address the fieldwork experience.
The Journal of Folklore Research is indexed in the Social Sciences and Humanities Index, the MLA Bibliography, Anthropological Index Online, the American Humanities Index, the Music Index, and the International Bibliography of the Social Sciences. It is abstracted in Historical Abstracts and America: History and Life. In addition, JFR augments major research and teaching libraries in the former Soviet bloc as part of the East and Central Europe Journal Donation Project, sponsored by the New School for Social Research.
Instructions to Authors
Guidelines for Manuscript Submissions
Manuscripts may be submitted as electronic attachments directly to the office of the Journal of Folklore Research at jofr@indiana.edu. All submissions must be in either Microsoft Word (.doc) format or Rich-Text Format (.rtf). The text, quotations, and endnotes should be double-spaced with ample margins for copy-editing and should conform to the fifteenth edition of the Chicago Manual of Style. (Those to whom the Manual is unavailable should consult the pages of this journal or the JFR style sheet.) If a manuscript includes notes, endnotes should be used rather than footnotes. Because manuscripts are refereed anonymously, the author¡¯s name and brief contributor information (not exceeding fifty words) should appear on the title page only. All submissions should be accompanied by an abstract of no more than 250 words; the abstract will be published in the journal as well as on the web.
Graphic elements should be submitted in digital form and accompany the initial manuscript submission. Please scan images (including slides) at a resolution of 300 dpi, in TIF format. Size all images to no more than five inches (12.5 cm) horizontally. Low-resolution images (such as those taken from the Internet) should be at least 900 pixels across to ensure print quality.
Although electronic submission is preferred, hard-copy manuscripts may also be submitted in triplicate via post to the following address and should be accompanied by an electronic copy on an IBM PC-formatted diskette:
Editor Journal of Folklore Research 504 N. Fess St. Bloomington IN 47408
Any inquiries concerning manuscript submission should be directed to the JFR editor at jofr@indiana.edu.
