Call for Submissions
The Journal of the North Carolina
Association of Historians
Volume 19 (April 2011)
The Journal of the North Carolina Association of Historians invites the submission of research manuscripts for the April 2011 issue.
We welcome essays in all fields of history from both emerging and established scholars. Preference in scheduling publication is given to NCAH members, so we encourage prospective authors to become members of the Association, an inexpensive and easy process.
We do not accept manuscripts that are published elsewhere in print or electronically.
Deadline
The deadline for submission of manuscripts for consideration is October 1, 2010. Manuscripts arriving after that date may be considered for the 2012 issue.
Style
Manuscripts should be prepared according to the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th Edition (University of Chicago Press, 2006). Endnotes rather than footnotes should be used to cite source material.
Submission Format
Manuscripts should be approximately 20-25 pages in length. They should be submitted electronically by email attachment or by sending a CD through the mail to the managing editor (details below). It is not necessary to submit a hard copy of the manuscript. In addition to the manuscript itself, there should be a current C.V. and a file containing a cover sheet with the author’s name, title, affiliation, address, phone number, and email address included. Manuscripts should be submitted in .doc or.rtf format.
Images, Figures and Tables
If there are any accompanying images, figures, tables, and so on, they should be submitted electronically as separate files rather than imbedded within the manuscript. The author is encouraged to indicate in the manuscript the desired placement of visual materials. Image files should be numbered sequentially so that there is no question which goes first,second, and so on (image1.jpg, image2.jpg, image3.jpg.) A list of captions should also be submitted if images or tables are to be included.
If using copyrighted images, the author must secure written permission for their reproduction in the Journal. Digital images should be submitted as .tiff or .jpg files, minimum 300 dpi.
Where to Submit a Manuscript
Manuscripts should be submitted to Dr. Kathleen Carter, Managing Editor of the Journal of the NCAH, Deep River Press, 811 Carrick Street, High Point, NC 27262.
Other Information
The editors of the Journal reserve the right to return any manuscript that does not meet the requirements.
