Dutch Crossing welcomes original papers that match the aims and scope of the Journal on the understanding that the paper has not previously been published, and is not being concurrently submitted for publication elsewhere. All papers will be sent to independent referees. It is a condition of publication that on acceptance of the paper by the Journal Editors that copyright must be assigned to W. S. Maney & Son Ltd.
Submission
Dutch Crossing invites scholars from all disciplines to submit original articles via the journal's
Online Tracking System. For all other matters please contact the Editors (
editors@dutchcrossing.org). Authors wishing to correspond directly with the Editors are also welcome to do so. Articles should be submitted in standard file format (e.g. Microsoft Word).
In preparing the electronic version, there is no need to format articles. Use a single (not double) space after the full point at the end of sentences. Please use plain style and avoid elaborate layout or typography, but include italics or bold type when necessary, and make sure that headings and subheadings are clearly visible as such. Words should not be hyphenated at the end of a line. Consistency in spacing, punctuation, and spelling will be of help. References and captions should be placed at the end of the file. Articles must be accompanied by a short
abstract of a maximum of 200 words summarizing the contents of their paper. Articles should also be accompanied by up to 6 key words to aid search ability of the article online. A short academic biography should be included with a maximum of 50 words. Any
acknowledgements should be placed at the end of the article, before any Notes. The title of the paper and author(s’) name(s) should appear at the beginning of the paper. The full contact details (postal address, email address, telephone and fax numbers) for the corresponding author should be included. All pages should be numbered.

Supplementary material
Additional material (e.g. datasets, models, animations or videos) that enhances the content and impact of articles. Supplementary material is intended to support arguments advanced in the article; it must not refer to other work nor contain discussion or conclusions that go beyond the content of the article. The inclusion of supplementary material is at the discretion of the Editor whose decision on its relevance and appropriateness is final. Supplementary material should be referred to in the main text, but must be self-contained and supplied as separate files. Refer to each item of supplementary material in parentheses within the text: (Supplementary Material 1), (Supplementary Material 2) and so forth. See the detailed instructions
here on submission and presentation of supplementary material.
Styling
British spelling (as given in the
Oxford English Dictionary) is used (e.g.
ize not
ise).
Quotations
Long quotations (more than about forty words of prose, or more than two complete lines of verse) should begin on a new line but with no extra line space above or below, no quotation marks and (for prose) no indenting. Short quotations (prose and verse) should be placed within single inverted commas and run on with the body of the text.
References
Endnotes should be used for referencing and should be kept to the strict minimum necessary for documentation. They should contain only minimal extra expository material. Endnote numbers, which should always use arabic numerals, should be given sequentially in the text, immediately following the most convenient punctuation mark. All references should conform to Maney Style available in downloadable form
here.
