TopAuthor Guidelines

The editors of Gender & History believe that the journal should reflect and encourage a wide range of perspectives, provided that pieces are not sexist, racist, homophobic or otherwise discriminatory. The opinions expressed in articles, features and reviews are those of individual authors and do not represent editorial policy.

Manuscript submission
Before submission please ensure that you have prepared your material according to the journal guidelines and that you have current and accurate e-mail addresses for each author. Manuscripts should be submitted to the following website: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/gend

Gender & History welcomes unsolicited submissions. We review manuscripts anonymously: that is, neither authors nor expert readers know one another's identities. To submit a manuscript, send it as a word processed email attachment. Please use Word or RTF, in PC format and include your abstract and title sheet as separate attachments. You may also send it on CD-ROM or floppy disk (PC format), with separate files for title page, abstract and article. Give your name, address and contact information on a separate title page. Please use standard sized paper and make sure that the print is clear and dark. Leave the manuscript in loose sheets, not stapled or bound together.

You may follow your own country's conventions of spelling, punctuation, etc.; simply be consistent. If your manuscript is accepted, we will work with you to put it in the journal's house style. For citations, follow whatever reference system is customary in the Humanities in your country, with superscript numbers in the text and end-notes starting on a separate page after the text. When citing your own work, make sure that you do not identify yourself as the author of the manuscript under review; give your full name instead, just as you would for another author. Double space the notes as well as the text.

Articles published in Gender & History average 9,000 words. This is somewhat shorter than the US standard, but longer than the European one.

Manuscripts do not need to be submitted in English. The journal has a limited budget for translation of works written in other languages, and will consider publishing English versions of works previously published in other languages. Please send an abstract in English along with the manuscript.

The editors try to complete the review of submissions within three months. However, since some manuscripts must travel around the world to reviewers, it may take longer for us to get back to you.

Completed manuscripts should be submitted to either of the journal's two editorial offices.

Copyright Transfer Agreement

Authors will be required to sign a Copyright Transfer Agreement (CTA) for all papers accepted for publication. Signature of the CTA is a condition of publication and papers will NOT be passed to the publisher for production unless a signed form has been received (US Federal Government employees need to complete the Author Warrenty sections, although copyright in such cases does not need to be signed). After submission, authors will retain the right to publish their paper in various media/circumstances (please see the CTA for further details). To assist authors an appropriate form will be supplied by the editorial office. Alternatively, authors may like to download a copy of the form here. Please return all completed and signed forms to the following - alternatively, a scanned version of the form can be emailed or faxed:
