The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography welcomes submissions of original research or interpretation concerning the social, cultural, political, economic, and ethnic history of Pennsylvania, or work situating Pennsylvania history within comparative regional or international contexts. We are always interested in essays that use art, architecture, material culture, oral history, and other non-documentary sources. We are also particularly interested in essays developed from research in our own collections. Authors are encouraged to discuss their essays with the editor before submitting them.
We expect that no essay submitted to us has simultaneously been submitted elsewhere. All submissions should be based on original research or new interpretations, and should reflect the highest standards of scholarship.
Authors may submit manuscripts in printed form or electronically.
- If you submit in print: the manuscript must be sent in triplicate. Please put the authors name on a cover sheet rather than on the MS itself, to avoid revealing author identity to reviewers. We will return manuscripts if the author submits a self-addressed, stamped envelope. If the manuscript is accepted, we will ask for a copy of the essay on a high-density disk in an IBM-compatible format, preferably Microsoft Word or WordPerfect for Windows.
- If you submit electronically: you should send submissions in Microsoft Word or WordPerfect for Windows to the editor as an attachment to email OR send an IBM-compatible disk, accompanied by one printed copy.
Manuscripts should be double-spaced, with footnotes embedded in the text. Please use the Chicago Manual of Style, but we also recommend referring to a recent issue of PMHB because we depart from Chicago style in some particulars. For example, we do not use the names of publishers in notes nor do we use p. or pp. for page numbers.
Manuscripts should be no longer than 35 pages, including notes (which should also be double spaced). Tables must be submitted as camera-ready copy suitable for reduction to the PMHB vertical page format. Although we can print tables and images longwise, we would prefer that the reader not have to turn the magazine on its side. A limited number of halftones may be used if the images are essential to the text and of publishable quality.
The editor provides the first screening. Promising manuscripts are sent out for peer review by at least two readers. This process takes anywhere from six weeks to three months, occasionally longer. Reviewer¡¯s reports will be shared with authors and revisions requested where appropriate.
