About the journal

 |
The Economic History Review is published quarterly and each volume contains over 800 pages. It is an invaluable source of information and is available free to members of the Economic History Society. Publishing reviews of books, periodicals and information technology, The Review will keep anyone interested in economic and social history abreast of current developments in the subject. It aims at broad coverage of themes of economic and social change, including the intellectual, political and cultural implications of these changes.
Many issues contain an essay under the heading Surveys and Speculations which discusses a particular problem in economic and social history in an adventurous way. The extensive book review section in each issue provides a guide to the latest literature on economic and social history in the British Isles and throughout the rest of the world.
Each volume also contains Essays in Bibliography and Criticism which are designed to bring readers up to date with the latest writings on a particular country and topical themes in economic and social history |
Instructions to Authors
Preamble to Notes for Contributors
Our ¡®Notes¡¯ cover a lot of ground, some of which might be better left fallow. They are updated every few years, and we try to ensure that they are accurate. We don¡¯t expect authors to develop an interest in the finer points of copy-editing, although we enjoy it when they do. Meanwhile, the world doesn¡¯t stop when someone treats data as a singular noun and we have survived encounters with people who can¡¯t spell Habakkuk. We are not easily shocked.
However, there are a few ground rules that we have to ask authors to observe. Please flag this bit and check later that you have complied with it. For copy-editing purposes we need a complete Word file with material in the order:
Summary
Text
Appendices
References
Notes
Tables
Figures (see notes below for preferred formats)
Please: create endnotes using the footnotes and endnotes options, not as a list with superscript figures typed into the document.
Please: supply figures electronically where possible. Graphs should be supplied as excel files with data attached so that formatting changes can be made. Tables should be created using the Word tables options, rather than scanned in, submitted as images, or being produced using rules and the tab key. All other figures should be supplied as .eps format (line art) or .tif format (300 dpi for halftones, 600 dpi for line art.) Hard copy arwork should be of photographic quality for scanning. All material must be suppled in black and white as this is not a colour journal.
Please: provide tables in the same typesize as the text. Don¡¯t supply highly complex material in a tiny point size, hoping that it will look better in print. Our page size is finite and we can¡¯t do fold-outs. It may be necessary to split a table or consider presenting the material in a different way.
Please: remember the summary, with a maximum length of 100 words. Almost every summary we get is over length and has to be cut (because a machine-generated abstract in another publication may stop in mid-sentence when it reaches the word limit).
Please: the final typescript needs to be complete in every respect. The copy-editor is geographically remote from the office files and can¡¯t easily check whether an earlier version of your article has the summary or map that hasn¡¯t come with the final version.
Please: remove all comments (created by the ¡®comments¡¯ option in the ¡®insert¡¯ option) from the file before submission
Please: we won¡¯t say much about notes or references here because we need to hold your attention for another paragraph, but really please:
- short titles need to make sense. Your computer can¡¯t do them for you;
- they need to be unambiguous; and
- you need to use the same short title for a particular work each time you refer to it.
Remember that we have to check all your work. Pity us.
The Economic History Review Notes for Contributors
These notes indicate the main literary and typographical conventions of the Economic History Review. When an article has been accepted for publication it is returned to the author, whose responsibility it is to make any alterations necessary to bring the material into conformity with these rules. When submitting a typescript the author should ensure that it is complete in all respects and that it includes a summary (see section 1 below). In case of doubt or ambiguity the Editors follow the ruling of the most recent edition of three related publications:
The Concise Oxford Dictionary
The Oxford Writers' Dictionary
Hart's Rules for Compositors and Readers at the University Press, Oxford
Authors are asked to bear in mind that their work should be accessible to non-specialists. They should use clear language, write impersonally, avoid specialized technical terms as far as possible, and relegate lengthy discussions of method, or collections of data, if these are needed at all, to appendices. Titles of articles should be simply worded, as brief as possible, and should convey to the reader the content of the article.
For the later stages of the editorial process, see section 7 below.

1 PRESENTATION
Four copies of each article should be submitted. These should be double-spaced, with references (also double-spaced) grouped at the back, followed by double-spaced footnotes. This is an absolute requirement. Authors should retain additional copies for their own use as the cost of postage prevents the Editors from returning scripts not accepted for publication.
A summary of the article, not exceeding 100 words, should also be submitted, specifying its principal conclusions in the context of currently accepted views on the subject.
Authors will be asked to supply an electronic version of their article in word format on a 3.5" floppy disk when the article has been accepted. Please therefore ensure that an electronic version of the article is retained.
In order to assist with communication we also ask all authors to supply a contact e-mail address. This will also be used for proofing purposes (see section 7).
1.1 Paper and typing: articles should be typed, in double-spacing, on one side only of A4 or US Letter paper, with a wide margin. Pages should be numbered consecutively.
1.2 Length: articles should not normally exceed 12,000 words, including footnotes; notes and comments should not exceed 2,500 words. Authors should inform the Editors of the exact length of articles and comments.
1.3 Subsections: major articles should be divided into subsections designated with roman numerals (I, II, III, etc.), but without subtitles.
1.4 Footnotes: Footnotes should be confined, as far as possible, to necessary references. Create endnotes using the footnotes and endnotes options, not as a list with superscript figures typed into the document. Acknowledgements should appear as footnote 1 to the title or first sentence.
1.5 Tables: these should be checked carefully both for their contents and their final form. For references to notes in tables use a, b, c, etc. (See section 5 below). Authors should double- check that figures in tables do add up to the totals given. The position which tables are to occupy in the text should be indicated. Tables are printed without vertical rules but horizontal rules should be used to secure clarity: an example of good practice will be found in section 5 below. Spreadsheet format should not be used. Sources for tables should always be provided, using the same conventions for source references as in footnotes. Tables should be created using the Word tables options, rather than scanned in, submitted as images, or being produced using rules and the tab key.
1.6 Graphs and maps: these should be supplied clearly drawn. Where a graph or map is to occupy a full page, care should be taken to ensure that the proportions of the figure match those of a page in the Review (7i" x 4i", or 20.0 cm x 12.4 cm). In the case of maps, the scale must be indicated . In the case of graphs, consider carefully whether the scales should be natural on each axis, or whether, say, a logarithmic scale is preferable, given the nature of the information to be conveyed (as, for example, where the rate of growth is the key variable). Sources for graphs and maps should always be provided, using the same conventions for source references as in footnotes. Graphs should be supplied as excel files with data attached so that formatting changes can be made. All other figures should be supplied in .eps or tif format. Halftones should be supplied to at least 300 dpi and line art to at least 800dpi in the final version on a CD or zip disk. Please submit on paper in the first instance. For more details on the submission of electronic artwork please visit
http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/illustration.asp .
1.7 Equations: these should be marked up in pencil on the typescript to distinguish between one and the letter 'ell' and between zero and the letter 'oh'. Authors should check that all variables have been defined.
1.8 References: these are dealt with in section 3 below.
2 THE JOURNAL'S HOUSE STYLE
2.1 Figures: give all figures up to and including nine in words ('six women', 'seven years') and above nine in numbers ('88 feet', '17 weeks') except where a series is given. Thus '8 sheep, 12 horses, and 36 goats'. Use 'eighteenth century' not '18th century'. Use '1930s' not '1930's'. Give all percentages in figures, not words. 'Per annum' and 'per cent' should be used in text; 'p.a.' and '%' should be used in tables and footnotes. Avoid numbers of more than five figures in the text whenever possible: '5.5 million' rather than '5,500,000', '5.5m', or 'five and a half million'. In both text and tables use commas in numbers with four or more figures. Thus 879, but 3,602, 15,827. Write fractions with hyphens: 'two-thirds'. In general, when referring to numbers in sequence (including dates), avoid unnecessary repetition: thus 10-13, 20-6, 101-7, 151-7.
2.2 Years: use 1801-4 when from 1801 to 1804 is meant; use 1801/2 when a calendar year (or part thereof) occurring over two adjacent years is meant. Use 1852-72, not 1852-1872.
2.3 Dates: wherever possible, give dates in full, as '30 January 1938'. In footnotes, abbreviate the months from August to February inclusive, with full stops.
2.4 Quotations: use single quotation marks ¡®¡¡¯. For quotations within quotations, use double quotation marks, as ¡®... ¡°¡¡± ¡¡¯. Use British (not American) conventions regarding the position of punctuation at the end of a quotation, so that the closing inverted comma precedes a comma or full point. To indicate an omission from a quotation use an ellipsis of three points (not four), with a letter space before and after it ( ... ). Quotations of five lines or more of type (more than about 55 words) should be broken off from the text and should not be enclosed by quotation marks.
2.5 Italics and roman: commonly used abbreviations should be in roman type, thus: ibid., et al., i.e., e.g. Foreign words and phrases, when used, should be in italics (i.e. underlined in the typescript), as should titles of journals, newspapers, and books. Thus passim, Wirrschafts-wunder, The Times.
2.6 Punctuation: insert a comma before 'and' in a sequence of three or more items: 'red, white, and blue' NOT 'red, white and blue'.
2.7 Alternative spellings: Use -ize in preference to -ise (but note the list of exceptions in The Oxford Writers¡¯ Dictionary and in Hart's Rules). Use -yse, not -yze. Omit accents in 'elite', 'regime', 'role'. Use 'acknowledgement', 'despatch', 'focused', 'enquiry' (but official 'inquiry'), 'judgement' (but legal 'judgment').
2.8 Capitals and lower case: use lower case whenever possible; the main exceptions are given here. Use initial capitals for political and administrative divisions (Northern Ireland, West Beirut, South Carolina, East Anglia, the East End of London, the Highlands and Islands); initial lower case for geographical divisions or where the usage is less specific, as in south Wales, north-western England, central and eastern Europe. Use initial capitals for geographical features (the Bay of Bengal, Puget Sound) and for specific buildings (Romsey Abbey, Faneuil Hall). Use initial capitals for titles and ranks where they accompany a proper name ('Harold, King of England', 'Thomas, Archbishop of Canterbury', 'John Smith, Mayor of Wandswonh'); for specific religious denominations and sects (Protestant, Catholic, Quaker, Methodist, Plymouth Brethren) (but puritan, nonconformist); for the Chinese Communist Parry, the Labour government, the Liberal Democrats, the Whigs; the Commons, the Lords, the House, Parliament (but parliamentary), the Bubble Act of 1720 (but the act or the bill where non-specific), the Crown (but the state), the City of London (for the institution), the Bank of Nova Scotia (where its full title is given). Use First World War (not World War I), Hundred Years War (no apostrophe), French Revolution, Irish Famine. Use Black Death, 1;, Blacks and Whites. Use old/new poor law and middle ages. Use marxism/ist, but Keynesian, Thatcherite. Use the Treasury and the Foreign Office, but the city council and boards of guardians. Use income tax and estate duty; Bank Rate; French francs and Canadian dollars.
2.9 Hyphens: when two words are used adjectivally (provided one of the two is not an adverb) they should be hyphenated; thus: 'working-class housing', 'nineteenth-century urbanization', 'shot-term change', but 'very rapid municipalization', 'newly independent country'. In general, hyphens should be used as sparingly as possible; the following compound words are now deemed not to need a hyphen: 'prewar', 'interwar', 'postwar', 'macroeconomic'. Use cooperate, coordinate, but co-exist; interact, but inter-relate.
2.10 Abbreviations: well-known abbreviations should be used when appropriate. Thus give 'Professor' as 'Prof.', 'Company' as 'Co.', and 'Limited' as 'Ltd.'. Abbreviated words should be followed by a full stop, with the exception of abbreviations in very common use; thus: 'jr.', 'ed.' but 'Dr', 'Mr', and 'Mrs'. Use '&' in titles of firms, not 'and'. Full stops are not needed in abbreviations which consist of a sequence of capital letters (GDP, OLS) or in acronyms (Unesco, Nafta). Number should be abbreviated to 'no.', not 'nr.'. In footnotes, part should be abbreviated to 'pt.', appendix to 'app.', chapter to 'ch.', figure to 'fig.', table to 'tab.', column to 'col.'. Use 'above' and 'below' in footnote references, not 'supra' and 'infra'. For UK counties use abbreviations given in appendix V to The Concise Oxford dictionary; for US states use official (not official postal) abbreviations given in appendix VI.
2.11 Countries: Use United States rather than America(n) wherever there is any possibility of ambiguity. Be accurate and specific in use of England, Great Britain, or the United Kingdom; also in use of Holland. Avoid using the British Isles. Be accurate and specific in use of European Union (and of EU-12, EU-15, and subsequent enlargements), European Community, and European Economic Community.
2.12 Singular and plural: Data is a plural noun, as is media, but the government, Parliament, and any named company are singular. ('The media are correct in saying that British Airways has announced record profits.')
2.13 Possessives: Omit the final letters after the apostrophe if the last syllable of the original word is pronounced iz: use Bridges', Moses', but James's.
2.14 Use of academic titles: avoid including academic titles in references to individual scholars; the surname alone will normally suffice.
3 REFERENCES
3.1 Consolidated list
A consolidated alphabetical list of all books, articles, essays, and theses referred to (including any referred to in the tables, graphs, and maps) should be provided. It should be typed in double- spacing and will be printed at the end of the article. The following points should be noted:
3.1.1 All articles, books, and theses should be listed in alphabetical order of author, giving the author's surname first followed by initials. If more than one publication by the same author is listed, the items should be given in chronological order. Newspapers and manuscripts (including 'working papers', 'research papers', etc.) should not be listed. Any official publications should be listed at the end, in chronological order, under the separate heading Official publications.
3.1.2 Initial capitals are used only for the first word in each book or article title, for main words in titles of journals and official publications, for proper names, and in line with section 2.8 above.
3.1.3 Dates in the titles of books and articles are preceded by a comma, and subtitles separated by a colon.
3.1.4 References to volume numbers of books and journals are given in roman or arabic as in the original source (thus, when referring to this journal or to the English Historical Review, use roman numerals; for most other journals use arabic numerals).
3.1.5 In the case of articles or contributions to collections of essays, it is essential to give complete page references.
Some examples are given below:
3.1.6 Books: place of publication to be given in all cases except London. Style as follows:
Church, R., The history of the British coal industry, 3: 1830-1913, Victorian pre-eminence (Oxford, 1986).
Cunningham, W., Alien immigrants to England (1879).
Hal¨¦vy, E., A history of the English people in the nineteenth century, 6 vols. (1913-34).
Heaton, H., The Yorkshire woollen and worsted industries from the earliest times up to the industrial revolution (Oxford, 2nd edn. 1965).
Kirby, J. L, ed., Abstracts of feet of fines relating to Wiltshire, 1377-1509 (Wilts. Rec. Soc., XU, 1985).
Supple, B. E., The Royal Exchange Assurance: a history of British insurance, 1720-1970 (1970).
Where a volume is one of a series, or where a chapter from a collective work is cited, give the editor(s) of the individual volume in the following form:
Chambers, J. D., 'Population change in a provincial town: Nottingham, 1700-1800', in L. S. Pressnell, ed., Studies in the industrial revolution presented to T. S. Ashton (1960), pp. 97-124.
Landes, D., 'Technological change and development in western Europe, 1750-1914', in H. J. Habakkuk and M. M. Postan, eds., Cambridge economic history of Europe, VI, pt. 1, The industrial revolution and after (Cambridge, 1965), pp. 274-601.
Foreign titles follow the conventions of their own languages. Thus in German capitalization is more extensive:
Imhof, A. E., ed., Historische Demographie als Sozialgeschichte: Giessen und Umgebung vom 17. zum 19. Jahrhundert, 2 vols. (Darmstadt, 1975).
3.1.7 Articles: omit the definite article in journal titles; give the date of publication as year only, unless the series has no numbered volumes; give pan numbers only for journals which paginate each issue from 1 (e.g. History Today, Business History); note the sequence of volume number, year of publication, and page references. Do not abbreviate the journal titles as this diminishes the functionality of the online version of the journal. Give complete page references:
Ashworth, W., 'Economic aspects of late Victorian naval administration', Economic History Review, 2nd ser., XXII (1969), pp. 491-505.
Whyte, I. D. and Whyte, K. A., 'Continuity and change in a seventeenth-century Scottish fanning community', Agricultural History Review, 32 (1984), pp. 159-69.
3.1.8 Official papers: Parliamentary Papers are always abbreviated as P.P. Give full title, year of publication, volume number. Thus:
Select Committee on Manufactures, Commerce, and Shipping (P.P. 1833, VI).
Accounts and Papers (P.P. 1890, XLV), Dockyard expense accounts, 1888-9.
The command paper number is not required.
3.1.9 Theses: no italics (i.e. not underlined in the typescript) for titles of unpublished theses:
Vamplew, W., 'Railways and the transformation of the Scottish economy' (unpub. Ph.D. thesis, Univ. of Edinburgh, 1969).
3.2 Footnotes
In the footnotes, books, articles, essays, theses, and official publications should be referred to in abbreviated form, with the precise page reference if applicable. If the reference is to the whole article, or to a book in general, no pagination should be provided. If a work is cited in more than one consecutive footnote, use 'ibid.', unless the previous note contains more than one source. When more than one work by the same author is cited in a footnote, use 'idem'. 'Op. cit.' and 'loc. cit.' should not be used.
Short titles should be capable of standing alone (i.e. they should not be computer-generated from the first words of the title) and similar titles by an individual author should be clearly distinguished.
Some examples are given below:
3.2.1 Books:
Cunningham, Alien immigrants, pp. 4-6.
Halevy, History of the English people, II, pp. 64-7.
Supple, Royal Exchange Assurance, p. 230.

3.2.3 Official papers:
S.C. on Manufactures (P.P. 1833, VI), Q.456 or QQ.457-8. Where a page reference is used, the continuous pagination for the whole volume and NOT the pagination for the individual report must be given.
Hansard (Commons), 4m ser., XXXVI, 22 Aug. 1896, cols. 641-2.
H. of C. Journals, LXXX (1824), p. 110.
H. of L. Journals, LXX (1824), 18 June.
3.2.4 Theses:
Vamplew, 'Railways', pp. 10-19.
Newspapers and manuscripts will not appear in the consolidated list. The following conventions should be followed:
3.2.5 Newspapers: omit the definite article in newspaper titles, with the traditional exception of The Times. Note the sequence of title of newspaper and day, month, and year of publication:
'The officious official' in Morning Post, 15 Sept. 1921.
Report in The Times, 30 Oct. 1918, p. 11, col. 1.
Economist, 11 Dec. 1920, p. 1032.
3.2.6 Manuscript references: the Public Record Office and the British Library are accorded standardized abbreviations as PRO and BL respectively:
PRO, King's Remembrancer's Memoranda Roll, E159/68, m, 78.
BL, Add. MS 36,042, fo. 2 (plural fos.).
Give titles of other record repositories, and names of collections of papers, in full in first reference (including location where necessary):

Note that manuscript is abbreviated to MS, not MSS; manuscripts MSS.
Articles which rely heavily on unpublished discussion or research papers and make extensive reference to them will not normally be accepted for publication.
4 JOURNAL TITLES
Please supply journal titles in full. They. Should not be abbreviated as this reduces the functionality of the online version of the journal.

6 COPYRIGHT
Authors will be required to assign copyright to the Economic History Society. Copyright assignment is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless copyright has been assigned. To assist authors an appropriate copyright assignment form will be supplied by the editorial office and is also available here. Government employees in both the US and the UK need to complete the Author Warranty sections, although copyright in such cases does not need to be assigned.
7 THE LATER STAGES
Once an author has revised a piece in line will these Notes, it is worked on by the journal's copy- editor and the Editors. Before it is typeset, final queries on the article will be sent from the copyeditor. This is the last stage at which any changes proposed by the author will be considered. After typesetting, proofs are circulated to the author, the Editors, and the copy-editor. The corresponding author will receive an email alert containing a link to a web site. A working e-mail address must therefore be provided for the corresponding author. The proof can be downloaded as a PDF (portable document format) file from this site. Acrobat Reader will be required in order to read this file. This software can be downloaded (free of charge) from the following web site:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html.
This will enable the file to be opened, read on screen and printed out in order for any corrections to be added. Further instructions will be sent with the proof. Hard copy proofs will be posted if no e-mail address is available. Excessive changes made by the author in the proofs, excluding typesetting errors, will be charged separately.
