About the journal
Northern History Northern History was the first regional historical journal. Produced since 1966 under the auspices of the School of History, University of Leeds, its purpose is to publish scholarly work on the history of the seven historic Northern counties of England: Cheshire, Cumberland, Durham, Lancashire, Northumberland, Westmorland and Yorkshire. Since it was launched it has always been a refereed journal, attracting articles on Northern subjects from historians in many parts of the world.
It aims to stimulate and encourage serious research, professional and amateur alike, on the history of all parts of the North, including the Borders, from Roman times to the twentieth century. Archaeological reports are not accepted, but papers which use archaeological evidence and articles based on all kinds of historical sources and methods of research are welcome.
The journal includes articles on topics treated regionally, and on the history of particular localities set in a wider context; it seeks to publish contributions which examine historical topics in different parts of the North, or which draw comparisons between different areas and explain the historical distinctiveness of particular districts. Northern History also includes papers which discuss general Northern subjects or which compare the history of the North with that of other parts of the country.
Abstracting and indexing services that cover Northern History include Arts and Humanities Citation Index, British and Irish Archaeological Abstracts, British Humanities Index, Current Contents, Arts and Humanities, Historical Abstracts and ISI Alerting Services.
Instructions to Authors
Notes for Contributors - Northern History
This j
This journal publishes articles on the history of the seven historic Northern counties of England and the Borders. It includes both papers on topics treated regionally and articles on the history of particular localities; we hope to publish contributions which examine topics in different parts of the region and which make comparisons between different areas, or between the North and other parts of the country.
In articles which embody the results of detailed original research, some space must be devoted to the conclusions reached and to the more general and/or comparative significance of the subject-matter.
Two copies of the typescript should be submitted to the Editors, Northern History, School of History, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, UK.
1. COPY PREPARATION
(a) ARTICLES should not normally exceed 9000-10,000 words (without discussion with the Editors); the total of words in the text should be stated. Articles should include an abstract of no more than 200 words and a list of up to six keywords.
(b) TYPING. All copy should be typed on one side with double spacing and ample margins, on A4 size paper. Footnotes should be typed double-spaced on separate sheets following the last page of the article; any preliminary acknowledgements should not be numbered but asterisked. Paragraphs, except for the first in each section, should be indented.
(c) PAGINATION AND SIGNATURE. The pages should be numbered consecutively in the top right-hand corner, and the author's name and address should be typed in the top left-hand corner of the first page.
(d) CORRECTIONS AND INSERTIONS. If these are brief, type or write them legibly above the line involved. The margins should be left clear for editorial use. If a correction is of considerable length, type it on a separate full-size sheet and mark it clearly (e.g. 'Insert A, page 5'). Indicate on the manuscript the exact position where the insert or correction must go.
(e) COPY. Retain a copy when the original is dispatched as that will not be returned with proofs but retained by the Editors. This copy should be numbered and amended exactly like the original.
(f) ACCEPTANCE FOR PUBLICATION. The final version of an article should be submitted on disk but still accompanied by one copy of the printout, double-spaced. The article should be sent in PC format on 3.5 inch floppy disk in Word or WordPerfect where possible. Automatic footnotes or endnotes should not be used. Footnotes should be supplied in a separate file, text note references being superscript figures or a figure in square brackets, i.e. [1], [2] etc.
(g) CHECKING. Authors should check their final manuscripts most carefully before they forward them to the Editors, as correcting errors later can be both difficult and costly. The Publisher reserves the right to reject extensive author's corrections in proofs, or to charge the author for the costs of making them.
(h) STYLE. Authors should follow precisely the style of spelling, punctuation, and abbreviations specified below.
(i) FOREIGN LANGUAGE. When any language other than English is used, care should be taken to add any necessary accents. In the rare cases where accents are not available on the PC, or if a typewriter is being used, they should be inserted very clearly in ink. It is advisable to avoid breaking foreign words at the end of lines since an English typesetter might be uncertain whether to regard the hyphen as an integral part of the word.
(j) FOUNTS. These should be formatted correctly in Word/Word Perfect during preparation of the article. Where this is not possible founts may be indicated on the typescript in the following manner: italics by a single line under the relevant words; SMALL CAPITALS by two lines; LARGE CAPITALS by typing capitals or by three lines under small letters; ITALIC LARGE CAPITALS by one line under ordinary capitals or by four lines under small letters.
(k) THE EDITORS request contributors not to depart from the instructions contained in these notes without prior consultation with them. They reserve the right to return to the contributor for revision any typescript which does not follow the style herein prescribed.
2. CAPITALS AND SPELLING
The spelling of the Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English should be followed. Capitals should be used sparingly and mainly in order to avoid ambiguity, e.g. 'counsel for the Crown', 'the procedure of the Commons'. Capitals are used for titles and dignities when they are used specifically, e.g. the Archbishop of York, the Archbishop (meaning a specific archbishop), King William was King of England and Duke of Normandy, but e.g. 'the kings, dukes, and archbishops were assembled'.
3. QUOTATIONS
Quotations should be enclosed in single inverted commas, double inverted commas being reserved for quotations within quotations. Long quotations, those of forty words or more, should not have inverted commas and should be separated from the preceding and the following lines of text by increased space; they should also be marked by a vertical line in the margin.
4. ITALICS
Italics will be used for the titles of printed books and periodicals excepting certain rare cases, e.g. the Bible, Domesday Book. The titles of manuscripts and of articles are given in roman type (see below, no. 11). Single words or short phrases in foreign languages should normally be in italics, but longer quotations in foreign languages will be in roman type. Certain Latin words and abbreviations which have passed into common English usage are printed in roman type. (e.g., cf., ibid., idem., sqq., etc., per annum, passim).
5. ABBREVIATIONS
A shortened form of a word which ends with the same letter as the word itself is regarded as a contraction, other shortened forms are abbreviations. Contractions should not be followed by a full stop. Thus: Dr, Mrs, Mr, vols, nos, addtns; but abbreviations will be followed by a full stop: p., pp., vol., no., PS., Esq., Jan. Where the initial letter of each word of the title of a journal, or a series, or the name of an institution, is used as an abbreviated title the full stops are omitted, e.g. EHR, VCH, DNB, PRO, BM, BL, HMC. References to decades should be expressed in figures: the 1640s; the 1860s.
6. DATES
These should be given in the form: 16 August 1645, 1727--29, 1842-54; 1806/7 when a calendar year or part of one over these two years is to be indicated. In footnotes and tables the names of all the months except May should be abbreviated to the first three letters. It will be assumed that the date refers to the year beginning on 1 January, unless the contrary is indicated. If it is helpful to do so, double dates in Old and New Style should be expressed: 11/22 July 1705. The era will be cited as follows: 54 BC, AD 367.
7. NUMBERS
Figures to be used for measurement, e.g. 200 ft, but time to be expressed in words, e.g. 'seven years later', 'the eighteenth century'. All other figures under 100 in words, e.g. 'three reasons', but '590 broadcloths'. All percentages to be given in figures, e.g. '25 per cent per annum', but in tables '%' and 'p.a.' may be used. Currency is expressed as: ? 13s. 4d.; decimal currency from 1971 as: ?2.65. Inclusive numbers falling within the same hundred should give the last two figures: 13-15, 20-27, 44-47, 104-08, 116-18, 363-77, 1933-49.
8. TABLES
It would be helpful if contributors could bear in mind the size of the page, and its maximum capacity, when preparing tables and graphs. Citation of a table in the text will be in the form (Table 1). Tables should be supplied as separate files on disk with hard copy printouts attached to the end of the typescript. Their position in the text should be clearly indicated in the margin at the appropriate point; sources should be listed.
9. ILLUSTRATIONS
Good quality line drawings or photographs are welcomed. Maps should be clearly drawn and lettered; originals should be supplied, although good quality photocopies may be accepted. Both line drawings and photographs should be numbered in one sequence. They should be described as 'Figures' in the text and sent at the same time as the manuscript. The contributor's name and figure number should appear on the reverse of all illustrations. A separate list of captions for illustrations should be provided in both electronic and hard copy format. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyright material, and the form of attribution should be stated. Illustrations will be returned after publication. Citation of an illustration in the text or footnotes will be in the form (Fig. 1).
Digital images should be supplied as separate files, rather than embedded in the text, in TIFF or EPS format. JPEG files will not be accepted. A hard copy printout should be included for reference. Images should be saved at a minimum input scanning resolution of 350-400 dpi for half tones, 800 dpi for simple line and 1200 dpi for fine line.
10. EDITING OF ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS
These should be printed in accordance with the 'Principles for the construction of a printed text', in the Bulletin of the Institute of Historical Research, I, 9-15. In particular, there is no need to note misspellings in the original which are clearly due to slips of the pen; such slips should be corrected without comment. Punctuation need not follow the original but should conform to modern usage. Permission to print should be obtained prior to submission and should be acknowledged.
11. FOOTNOTE REFERENCES
Bibliographical detail in references should be full enough to permit the easy identification of the manuscript records and printed works cited.
References to libraries, archives, and other institutions should give their full title and location in the first instance; if they are to be referred to repeatedly an abbreviated form should be indicated on the first occasion and used thereafter. See list of Standard Abbreviations, note 17 below.
General
(a) The titles of printed works (texts, books, journals) should be given in italics, and every important word of a title should begin with a capital letter.
(b) After the first reference, books should be cited in footnotes by a short title (to be established on the first reference by the use of square brackets where helpful); books are not referred to simply by the author's name, and op. cit., loc. cit. should not be used.
(c) After the first reference, printed texts should be cited by an abbreviation or a short title (see examples listed below).
(d) After the first reference, journals should be cited by an abbreviation.
(e) Standard abbreviations such as DNB, VCH are used (see list, note 17 below).
(f) Volumes should be numbered in small capital roman numerals, with an arabic numeral in round brackets (parentheses) where a volume is in several parts.

(h) If there is a volume number 'p.' or 'pp.' should be omitted but should be inserted if there is no volume number, or to avoid ambiguity.
(i) In citing several successive folios or pages the first and last folio or page numbers should always be given, e.g. fols 27-33 (not fols 27 sqq.) or pp. 278-309 (not pp. 278 sqq.)
(j) In successive citations of the same MS. documents, printed text, book, or article, use Ibid., with folio or page number(s) to avoid repetition of names and titles, unless there would be a risk of confusion.
