Instructions to Authors
Editorial Policy
1. Symbolic Interaction seeks to encourage and showcase the study of interpersonal conduct and experience. Emphasis is given to empirically grounded research, but essays that concern theory and conceptual development are also welcome. All methods are welcome, but emphasis is given to research that is based upon ethnographic and other qualitative methods.
2. Submission of a manuscript to Symbolic Interaction clearly implies a commitment to publish in this journal. Previously published papers and papers under review by another journal are unacceptable.
3. The SSSI Board has instituted a $10.00 manuscript processing fee for nonmembers of the Society. The fee is waived for students. This fee should take the form of a check drawn on a U.S. bank or a U.S. postal money order. Foreign checks are not acceptable.
4. Address manuscripts and editorial communications to: Simon Gottschalk, Editor, Symbolic Interaction, Department of Sociology, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, 4505 Maryland Parkway, Las Vegas, NV 89154-5033 USA.

Manuscript Requirements
1. Submit five (5) copies and a clearly identified and dated IBM formatted disk in Rich Text Format (RTF) or Microsoft Word. Retain the original for your files. Enclose your business card, if available and a stamped, self-addressed post-card for acknowledgment of manuscript receipt. Manuscripts will not be returned.
2. To ensure anonymity in the review of manuscripts, keep all identifying material out of manuscript. Attach a cover page giving authorship and institutional affiliation with complete address, email address, and telephone and fax numbers. Provide only the title as identification on the abstract and manuscript.
3. A one-paragraph informative abstract (approximately 100 words) must accompany the manuscript. The abstract should be concise and complete in itself without reference to the body of the article. Care should be taken to include all of the key terms.
4. The entire manuscript, including title page, abstract, quotations, tabular material, notes, and references, must be typed double- spaced on one side of white bond paper with at least 1-inch margins on all four sides. Authors should write in active voice, minimize jargon, and use clear referents.
5. Tables should be typed on separate pages and numbered consecutively. They should have brief descriptive titles, and they should be placed at the end of the manuscript following references. Placement in text must be indicated by a phrase, such as "Insert Table 1 about here," which is set off from the rest of the text. Sources for information in a table should be footnoted below the table.
6. All illustrations and charts should be referred to as Figures in the text. They must be finished drawings not needing further artwork or typesetting, and originals will be required if manuscript is accepted. Placement must be indicated in the text. Disk submissions of Figures must be in encapsulated postscript (.eps) or tagged image file format (tiff).
7. Notes should be numbered in the text, and all notes should appear as a separate appendix that precedes the references. Notes should be kept to a minimum, and used only for substantive observations. Source citations are made in the text rather than the notes.
8. References to published works must be cited in the text according to the author/date system and listed alphabetically in the reference section at the end of the manuscript. Examples of appropriate format for chapters, articles and books appear below.
