编辑部信息(Editorial Board)
About the journal Contributions cover a range of time periods, from before European colonization to the present, and any subject germane to New England¡¯s history¡ªfor example, the region¡¯s diverse literary and cultural heritage, its political philosophies, race relations, labor struggles, religious controversies, and the organization of family life. The journal also treats the migration of New England ideas, people, and institutions to other parts of the United States and the world. In addition to major essays, features include memoranda and edited documents, reconsiderations of traditional texts and interpretations, essay reviews, and book reviews.
Instructions to Authors
NEQ is an open forum. The editors expect essays to approach their topics historically, but subjects can range broadly from literature, to politics, to art, to economics, etc. There is no restriction on time period covered, nor must you possess any qualifications beyond the ability to present and document your argument in the tradition of the best scholarship in your field. We regularly publish the work of students as well as freelance writers along with that of professors from the world's finest research institutions. In addition to essays, we also accept submissions for both our Reconsiderations and our Memoranda and Documents features.
Submitting Your Work to Us: All essays submitted for consideration should be mailed to our Business Office at Northeastern University, Meserve Hall 2nd floor, Boston, MA 02115.
Our Evaluation Process: The evaluation process generally takes from two to four months. At its conclusion, we will inform you by letter of our decision. If your manuscript is accepted for publication, we will request that you send us an electronic version of the document formatted according to our stylistic requirements.
Book Reviews: All book reviews and essay reviews are commissioned by the editors, but we gratefully accept recommendations for both books to review and reviewers to write about them.
