Notes for Contributors
1. Format
All copy must be double-spaced, including all quotations and endnotes. All paragraph breaks should be indented, and therefore no line space is necessary between paragraphs. The first line of the article or of a new section within the article should not be indented, and therefore a line space should be left before the beginning of a new section. Section titles should be in italics (i.e. underlined in the typescript).
Manuscripts must be word-processed, preferably in Word, and should be submitted as an attachment to the Manuscripts Editor (k.reader@french.arts.gla.ac.uk). Articles should not normally be longer than 6000 words; submissions that are significantly longer will not normally be considered.
2. Spelling
Use the alternative, e.g., realize, systematize (but note: analyse, excise, exercise, supervise, where no alternative exists). Use premiss (as in logic), judgement, connexion (but: reflection). Do not put accents on capital letters or assimilated words such as elite, role, etc.
3. Punctuation and use of italics
Do not use the Oxford comma : write red, white and blue , not red, white, and blue . Except for classical names, use the possessive s for names ending in s, e.g., James s, Duras s, Serres s, but: Lucretius .
Quoted words and phrases should be in single quotation marks (double for quotations within quotations). If your sentence ends with a closing quotation mark, the full point goes inside the quotation mark only if you are quoting a complete sentence. Otherwise final punctuation should come after the brackets containing the page reference.
Foreign words and phrases other than quotations should be in italics. Words and phrases to be printed in italics should be underlined in copy.
Paragraph uses an em-rule for a dash; an en-rule for date ranges and page ranges; and a hyphen for compound adjectives etc.
4. Quotations
Quotations longer than four lines of printed text should be broken off. Where such long quotations are set in, final punctuation should come before the bracket containing the page reference. Any extraneous material inserted into a quotation should be placed in square brackets. Omissions in the middle of quotations should be indicated thus: (...)
Quote foreign language texts using the available English translation where possible. If quotation of the original language is necessary, quoted text should be followed by the translation in round brackets and without quotation marks. The reference or note number for the quotation should immediately follow the original text and not the translation.
5. Notes and references
Full references should be presented in endnotes, rather than a separate References section. References in the main text normally take the form of an abbreviation and page number, sometimes with a volume number, e.g., Freud calls it an artificial illness (SE XII, 154). The abbreviation should be explained in a note giving the full reference of the work cited. When several references to the same work follow in succession it is perfectly acceptable simply to put the page reference, providing the source is understood from the context. Avoid ibid, idem or op cit.
For the headings of review articles, use the following format:
Mark Wigley, The Architecture of Deconstruction: Derrida s Haunt (Cambridge, MA, MIT, 1993), xv + 278 pp.
Number notes sequentially, with Arabic numbers, in superscript. The cue for a note goes outside any punctuation, unless it is within a parenthesis and refers only to the parenthesis. Notes should be placed at the end of the manuscript.
In the endnotes titles of books and journals are underlined, while titles of articles are given in single quotation marks. Authors and publications should be referenced as follows:
Judith Butler, ¡®Bodies that Matter in Engaging with Irigaray, edited by Carolyn Burke, Naomi Schor and Margaret Whitford (New York, Columbia University Press, 1994), 141¨C73.
Jacques Derrida, Of Grammatology, translated by Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak (Baltimore, Johns Hopkins University Press, 1976), 101¨C2.
Anne Freadman, Untitled (On Genre) , Cultural Studies 2:4 (1988), 67¨C99.
Claude L vi-Strauss, La Pens e sauvage (Paris, Plon, 1962), 17¨C18.
References to electronic forms of communication should be made as follows:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/, consulted 7 April 2006, 2.25 p.m.
6. Abbreviations
Note that the following should be given in full: edited by; translated by; University Press. Also that dates and figures (except numbers in the teens) should be elided thus: 1984¨C5, 101¨C2, etc., but 1917¨C18, 10¨C11. Full dates should be given as follows: 12 January 1991.
Avoid e.g. (use for example or for instance ), i.e. (use that is ), and etc. wherever possible.
7. Headings, abstracts and authorship
For all submissions, the title of your article should be followed by your name in capital letters. At the head of your article should be an abstract of 100-150 words. Authors of articles that are accepted for publication will be asked to provide (i) an entry for the Notes on Contributors which should be approximately 60-80 words long, and should include any institutional affiliation; and (ii) a list of 6-8 keywords to be included with electronic versions of the article.
Note: the journal s conventions on these points have changed recently, so please follow these guidelines rather than adopting the layout of past issues of the journal.
8. Proofs
Contributors will be informed of the date when proofs will be sent and should ensure that they inform editors of their contact details for this period. Proofs should be corrected and returned within seven days. If proofs are not returned within the required timescale, the editors reserve the right to make corrections. Contributors should be aware that all issues of the journal are scrutinized at proof stage by the Liaison editor, and that guest editors of special issues work in collaboration
