NEW HIBERNIA REVIEW
Advice to
contributors
We are honored by your interest and
look forward to considering your work
for publication. The following
guidelines should be useful in
preparing your submission.
Preparation and style
- Submissions
should be made in duplicate and
prepared according to prevailing
academic standards. The contributor’s
name should appear only on a
separate title sheet.
- Conform
to the Chicago Manual of Style
or the MLA Style Sheet in preparing
your typescript
- Editors
prefer endnote citation
rather than the new "works
cited" style. Double-spacing,
including endnotes, is mandatory
- Essays
reproduced on a faint
dot-matrix printer, or on
extremely thin paper, may be
returned
- European
contributors should leave
ample margins at the bottom of
their pages as it is often
necessary to crop these to fit
American copying machines.
Multiple
submissions
- Editors
assume that your essay
is not being simultaneously
considered for publication in other
journals. As a journal of record,
New Hibernia Review must offer its
readers new scholarship only
- We
cannot reprint work
that has appeared, in whole or
in substantial part, elsewhere.
Decision
cycle
- Submissions
are promptly recorded
and forwarded to the editors of New
Hibernia Review, but decisions
regarding an essay may take six
months or longer
- Please
refrain from inquiring
about the status of a typescript
until six months have passed. An
essay will usually appear within
one year of acceptance
- Notify
the editors by certified mail
if
you wish to withdraw your essay
from consideration
Submissions
on diskette
On acceptance, you will
be asked to provide your article on a
diskette. You may send either a
Macintosh or an IBM diskette, but label
it with the file name and the program
in which it is written.
Editorial practice
Contributors should
expect that their essays will be
judiciously copyedited so as to give
each issue a harmony of usage and
mechanics. The editors will usually
prefer American usage and conventions
to British and Irish forms. Authors
should refrain from beginning essays
with an epigraph or a block quotation.
Illustrations
We welcome essays that
include photographs or art
reproductions. The use of illustrations
will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
Contributors need to provide evidence
that the necessary permissions have
been obtained.
Author’s galleys
Unproofed author’s
galleys will be sent to you
approximately six weeks before
publication. You should give these
prompt attention and provide the
editors with corrections. Extensive
revision will not be possible at that
stage, however.
Complimentary copies
In lieu of offprints,
you will be provided six copies of the
issue of New Hibernia Review in which
your article appears.
Copyright and reprints
New Hibernia Review will
be copyrighted by its publishers. The
editors will routinely grant gratis
permission to reproduce our pages for
classroom or other noncommercial uses.
Publishers wishing to reprint material
from New Hibernia Review will be given
your most recent address from our files
and advised that it is their
responsibility to notify the author to
obtain the necessary permissions.
Conversely, the editors would be
grateful if you would extend the
courtesy notifying us of subsequent
reprints, inclusion in anthologies, and
other uses of work that originally
appeared in New Hibernia Review. |
