Search engine optimization (SEO) is a means of making your article more visible to anyone who might be looking for it. Please consult our guidance here .
Notation Style: The Journal follows an endnote/bibliography style drawn from The Chicago Manual of Style , Sixteenth Edition. Full instructions can be found here .
Transliteration: For the transliteration of Persian words, authors should follow either the Iranian Studies scheme outlined in the tables in the document below, or else that used by The International Journal of Middle East Studies (minus the diacritics but with macrons). For the transliteration of Arabic and Ottoman Turkish, authors should follow the modified IJMES scheme. However the use of established anglicised forms such as Kurdistan, Hafiz, Isfahan, Majlis (instead of Kordestan, Hafez, Esfahan, Majles) will be more appropriate.
Whichever scheme is chosen ( Iranian Studies or modified IJMES ), it must be strictly adhered to. Failure to do so will result in the submission being rejected, even if it has passed peer review.
Iranian Studies transliteration scheme
Other rules:
- The ezafeh is written as –e after consonants, e.g. ketab-e and as –ye after vowels (and silent final h ), e.g. darya-ye and khaneh-ye
- The silent final h is written, e.g. Dowleh
- The tashdid is represented by a doubling of the letter, e.g. takhassos
- The plural ha is added to the noun with a dash, e.g. cheshm-ha
Formatting and Style:
Article formatting:
- Manuscripts using Arabic diacriticals should be submitted, if possible, using Arial Unicode. If the manuscript requires characters that can only be found in specific Unicode extensions (e.g. Titus Cyberbit Basic), please provide details on acceptance.
- Author details are set as an un-numbered first footnote at the bottom of the opening page.
- If aligning words over several lines (e.g. to illustrate parallel syntactical structures), please indent the words using tabs not the space bar.
- The first line of a new section should not be indented. All other paragraphs within a section should be indented. Use Word auto-formatting: Format/Paragraph/Indents and Spacing/Indentation/Special/First Line
- Block quotes (quotation 40+ words) should be indented from the general text.
- Footnotes should be set in point size 10; first line indented (use Word auto-formatting).
- Footnote numbering in the text should be placed after the full point at the end of a sentence.
Guidance regarding tabs and spacing
Sub-headings:
- Sub-headings should not be numbered.
- Level-A: Set on a line above the section; left aligned; italicized; all key words begin with a capital:
Patriarchal Logic and Modernity
The Iranian Revolution has led to important changes in political, social, economic and demographic structures.
- Level-B: Set at the beginning of the first line of a new section; left aligned; italicized; initial capital only; full point after the heading:
The privatisation proposal. We start with the privatisation proposal, because this allows us to underline some of the basic concepts regarding the ownership, control, and modes of operation of oil industry.
-
Level-C: Set at the beginning of the first line of a new section; indented; italicized; initial capital only; full point after the heading:
Ownership of reserves and control of oil rents. Iranian oil reserves, and Middle East oil reserves in general, have two important peculiarities - first, they come in huge fields, and second the cost of production is extremely low compared to other regions.
Tables and Figures:
-
All tables and figures (plus captions) should be grouped together and saved in two files separate from the text file.
-
All tables and figures should be removed from the text document. Mark their position in the text with [f]fig 1 here[/f] or [t]tab 1 here[/t] .
-
Table and Figure captions should be set in Times New Roman; point size 12; no full point at the end; centered above the table or figure: Table 1. GDP of France, 1998-2001
-
Notes and Sources should be set below the table or figure; Times New Roman; point size 10; left aligned, full point at the end: Source: Department of Trade, 1999.
-
When formatting tables, use tabs to align columns in tables, not the space bar or cells. Check that spelling in the tables matches that in the text.
Spelling and Punctuation:
- American spelling and punctuation
- Double quotation marks
-
Em-dash should be used within sentences, e.g. "Periods of contentious politics in modern Iran-during the constitutional era, in the immediate post-WWII period-have been crucial in shaping collective answers to the questions"
-
En-dash should be used for page, date and other numerical ranges, e.g. 24-36.
-
Minimal use of full points for acronyms and abbreviations.
-
Minimal use of capitals except for proper nouns, e.g. President George Washington BUT the president of the United States; the West BUT western Europe
Numbers:
-
Dates: day-month-year without internal punctuation, e.g. 14 April 1977. Centuries should be written out: nineteenth NOT 19th. Year ranges should be contracted when the century is the same, e.g. 1997-98.
-
Numbers: In nonscientific usage numbers from one to one hundred should be spelled out. Units in larger numbers should be divided by commas, e.g. 2,230. Page ranges should be styled as follows: 1-7,11-17, 22-29, 101-7, 111-17, 222-29, 291-302.
-
Percentages: Numerals should be used, but followed by "percent" rather than "%" in nonscientific copy.
