Social Science Quarterly is published for the Southwestern Social Science Association by the Blackwell Publishing. All views or conclusions are those of the authors of the articles and not necessarily those of the editorial staff, Blackwell Publishing, the University of Houston or the Southwestern Social Science Association.
Notice to Contributors
On first submission of a manuscript, we are more concerned with its conforming to our general policies than to our specific stylistic instructions. The former is a prerequisite for submission, the latter for final acceptance and publication.
General Policies
Our preference is for manuscripts that would appeal to readers in more than one social science discipline and/or those with public policy implications. Short-to-medium-length manuscripts (14-23 pages) and research notes (13 pages or less) are desired. Manuscripts longer than 30 pages (including double-spaced tables, notes and references) will be returned unread to the author. Manuscripts are accepted subject to the usual editing for style and grammar.
Manuscript Submission
1. Because manuscripts are evaluated anonymously, they should bear only the title as identification. Any reference in the text or notes by which referees could identify the author(s) should be deleted. Enclose a separate cover page giving the title and the name, position, institutional affiliation, and address of each author.
2. To insure a prompt evaluation, four copies of the manuscript should be submitted. Photo duplication copies are preferred since manuscripts will not be returned. Quality computer printouts are acceptable. Draft quality printouts are not.
3. Footnotes, references and tables should be carried on separate sheets and placed behind the last manuscript page. Each table should be started on a new page. Footnotes and references lacking full citations will be returned to the author for completion. Technical appendices should be avoided.
4. An abstract of 100-150 words must accompany each manuscript copy, and should present the principal substantive or theoretical points.
5. The paper must not be submitted to another journal while under review by SSQ.
Specific Instructions for Copy Preparation
1. Use wide margins and double space all matter, including indented quotations, footnotes, and tables.
2. Place an asterisk at the end of the title and note at the bottom of the page "Direct correspondence to" followed by complete name and address. An additional information and/or acknowledgments can follow as part of the same note.
3. Text notes should be numbered serially. Use footnotes only for substantive observations. Authors are urged to organize their articles so as to minimize the need for footnotes.
4. Each table should be typed on a separate page; insert a guide line (i.e., "Table 1 here") at the appropriate place in the text. Table notes are listed as a, b, c, etc., except for notations in regard to statistical significance where * and ** should be used to note p>.05 and p>.01 respectively.
5. Submit camera-ready copy for figures and illustrations.
Format of Citations in Text
All references to books, monographs, articles, and statistical sources are to be identified at the appropriate point in the text by last name of author, year of publication, page numbers where appropriate, all within parentheses. Specify subsequent citations of the same sources in the same way as the first one; do not use "ibid.," "op cit.," . cit."
1. When an author's name is part of the text, set only the date in parentheses, for example: Beck et al.'s (1987) findings indicate....
2. When an author's name is not part of the text, set both the name and date in parentheses, for example: Attitudes toward taxes are subject to cost-benefit calculations (Beck et al., 1987).
3. If page numbers are relevant to the citation, they follow the year of publication colon, for example: Attitudes toward taxes are subject to cost-benefit calculations especially in terms of economic self-interest (Beck et al., 1987:240).
4. For more than three authors, use "et al." For institutional authorship, supply minimum identification from the beginning of the complete citation: (177th Court Grand Jury,1972: 1).
5. If there is more than one reference to an author in the same year, distinguish them by use of letters (a, b) attached to the year of publication: (1984a).
6. Enclose a series of references within a single pair of parentheses, separated by semicolons, for example: (Burns 198J; Fried, 1988; Staggenborg, 1987).
Format of References in Appendix
Title this appendix 'References.' List all items, including machine-readable data files (MRDF) alphabetically by first author's name. Be certain to include the names of all multiple authors. All names should appear as they do on the original publication. Do not use initials unless they were used in the original citation. Multiple citations by the same author should he listed by date.
