Southern Cultures AUTHOR’S GUIDE
__________________________________________________________________________________

SUBMITTING A MANUSCRIPT

  • Mail manuscripts to: Southern Cultures, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 409 Hamilton Hall, CB# 9127, Chapel Hill NC 27599-9127.
  • We ask that you not submit your article to another journal while it is under review at SC.
  • Manuscripts are returned to authors if requested at time of submission.
  • All submissions are subjected to review by the coeditors and by selected readers.
  • If the submission is published, authors transfer copyright to SC.

Article length: 15?0 pages (3,750?,000 words)
Review length: 3-4 pages (750?,000 words)


WRITING FOR THE SOUTHERN CULTURES AUDIENCE

When writing or revising your article for Southern Cultures, please keep in mind that our readers are from many academic disciplines and the interested general public. Consequently, we are especially interested in articles that deal with southern issues in the broadest possible way. We can use an article on x only if it uses this material to open a larger discussion on the South. These wider issues are often left implicit in academic history, but we will need a more direct treatment than you might find in most articles in, say, The Journal of Southern History.

For our purposes, 15?0 pages or so, double-spaced, is about the maximum length we are looking for in final copy. Your introduction should offer our nonspecialist, nonscholarly readers a context for your topic, but should not survey the relevant historiography in detail. References and concepts familiar to your discipline will likely need a brief explanation when first mentioned. Please keep technical jargon to a minimum, as well as footnotes (endnotes)—we suggest no more than ten to twenty.

Any substantive revisions we might ask you to make to an accepted manuscript will be in the interest of best communicating with a broad audience.


COPYEDITING

All accepted manuscripts are assigned to a copy editor. In copyediting your manuscript we seek to make your prose as clear and effective as possible. Even experienced scholars can be casual in such matters as improper punctuation, occasional grammatical oversights, and inconsistency in style. Common problems that turn up in the manuscripts we receive are mixed metaphors, inconsistent tenses, and excessive use of the passive voice. We will do our best to reduce wordiness and correct any errors of grammar, syntax, and punctuation. We do not, however, usually verify the accuracy of your endnotes; correct information is your responsibility.

You will have an opportunity to review the copyedited version of your manuscript, which will contain queries, stylistic changes, and suggested alterations. We regard copyediting as a dialogue in which we hope to offer you as many suggestions as we can to enhance your essay’s readability and accessibility without suppressing your voice. We invite you to participate actively in this exchange.


PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS

Mechanical matters

  • Please send 2 copies of your article printed on a letter-quality printer. Please double space! Leave wide margins (1 ?in.) to allow room for marginalia and copyediting.
  • Articles should be 15 to 20 pages in length, excluding notes.
  • Notes should be numbered sequentially and placed at the end of the article using the endnote function of your word-processing program (more information below).
  • The author’s name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and affiliation should appear on a separate title page preceding the text. Also include a brief biographical sketch.
  • Photocopies of proposed illustrations should be included with the copies of the manuscript.
  • A cover letter summarizing the article’s major points should be included.

Preparing the electronic text

  • Prepare your manuscript on the same system—both hardware and software—from start to finish.
  • Please eliminate all formatting that is not essential. Although most word processors now incorporate desktop publishing functions that enable you to produce an elaborate printout, you should remember that once your article has been designed and typeset for Southern Cultures it will look quite different from your manuscript copy.
  • Never use all caps for authors?names in notes.
  • To indent paragraphs, use only the tab key—not the space bar, your word processor’s automatic indent feature, or a “style sheet?of any sort.
  • Use only one space after colons and one after periods at the ends of sentences.
  • Never use letters for numbers or vice versa; in other words, don’t type the lowercase “ell?for the number one or the capital letter “oh?for zero.
  • Align all poetry passages so that they appear on the manuscript exactly as you want them to appear in the printed article.
  • Please spell-check your text.
  • When sending a disk, please make sure that it exactly matches the hard copies (printouts) that you are sending. Send disk files in Microsoft Word. If you are working on a Mac, try to save the file as a PC file.

Spelling, punctuation, and other matters of style

  • For spelling and word division, follow Webster’s Third International Dictionary or the latest edition of Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary.
  • For capitalization, hyphenation, use of numbers, punctuation, and other matters of style, follow The Chicago Manual of Style, 14th ed. (1993).
  • Please capitalize all references to South, but not to southern or southerner.
  • Do not capitalize black and white; do capitalize African American, Asian American, Native American, etc.

Names

  • Give complete name on first reference to an individual; last name only thereafter.
  • Do not use honorifics (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.)
  • Neither “Jr.?nor “III?are preceded by a comma (Joe Doe Jr.; Joe Doe III)
  • Initials indicating first and middle names are separated by a space (W. R. Valentiner).

Endnotes

  • Number consecutively from 1, but if you are providing a note to your title (e.g., “This paper was originally presented at a conference . . .?, begin numbering AFTER that note. The average number of notes is 10 to 20.
  • Place the notes at the end of the manuscript, not at the bottoms of the pages using the endnote function of your word-processing program. Please double space.
  • All references must be complete. Please, no “author will supply information with proof.?/FONT>
  • Please streamline and consolidate notes as much as possible. There should be no more than one note per paragraph. The primary purpose for endnotes is to provide the source citation for direct quotations in the text. Please edit out textual material in the notes--if you wish that material to be in your essay, please incorporate it into the text.
  • Book reviews should not have endnotes.
  • Consult Chicago Manual of Style (chapters 15 and 17) for additional guidance on notes.

General rules

  • Once a work has been cited in full, subsequent references to the work should be in short form. Short reference form consists of author’s last name, a logically shortened title of the book (or journal article title), and page number(s) of. reference.
  • Ibid. refers to a single work cited in the note immediately preceding. Ibid. takes the place of the author’s name, title of the work, and as much of the succeeding material as is identical.
  • Do not use p. or pp. to indicate references to page numbers unless the number would be ambiguous without it.
  • Use arabic numerals for volume numbers, even if the title page of the work carries a roman numeral.

ILLUSTRATIONS

Southern Cultures strongly encourages authors to include relevant illustrations with their articles. Feel free to call the managing editor with any questions you may have regarding illustrations.

  • Authors are asked to provide camera-ready artwork (accompanying black-and-white or color photographs, tables, figures, graphs, etc.) when sending in an accepted manuscript.
  • The author is responsible for obtaining written permission to reproduce illustrative materials from the owner of the image. (Call Southern Cultures or see Chicago Manual of Style for assistance in writing requests.) Photos will be returned.
  • Please provide captions and credit lines for any illustrations you submit.


FACT CHECKING

Authors are responsible for ensuring that their text and notes are accurate. The copy editor is not responsible for fact-checking a manuscript. Any errors that the copy editor happens to discover, however, will be noted and brought to the managing editor’s attention.
