Notes to contributors

Papers should be submitted via the EJournal Press online submission system at: http://sub.msubmit.net.

All articles are subject to peer review and the final decision to publish rests with the editors. In the peer review process for Subjectivity both author and reviewer will be anonymous. Please ensure that no author names are given on the first page of the manuscript and that author names have been taken out of the 'File' 'Properties' screen in Word. Articles would not normally exceed 8,000 words including bibliography and notes.

We welcome short questions or inquiries about the appropriateness of manuscripts. Please send inquiries to the Editors at subjectivity@palgrave.com.

Presentation

General style
All manuscripts should be in English 12 point font, double line spaced and submitted in MS Word or a compatible software file.

While articles will be published in English, arrangements may be possible if you work primarily in a language other than English. Please contact the editors if you wish to discuss this.

You will be required to submit two documents

This should include:

  • the title of the article and suggestions for a short running title of no more than 40 characters (including spaces);
  • the author(s)’ names and affiliations;
  • a short biography of no more than 100 words for each author;
  • contact details (including email address) for the corresponding author.

Notes

Do not use footnotes. Keep endnotes to a minimum. Indicate endnotes with superscript numbers, and type the notes between the end of the article and the beginning of the references. Do not use the foot/endnote macro in MS Word as this data is lost in the production process.

References

The Harvard (name, date) style of referencing should be used, which entails a full bibliography at the end of the text. Please note the following:

Quoting references in the text:
In A Cyborg Manifesto Haraway wrote that 'the need for unity of people trying to resist world-wide intensification of domination has never been more acute' (Haraway 1991, p. 154).

A long direct quote (~more than 40 words):

Haraway argues:
Acknowledging the agency of the world in knowledge makes room for some unsettling possibilities, including a sense of the world's independent sense of humour. Such a sense of humour is not comfortable for humanists and others committed to the world as resource. (Haraway 1991, p. 199)

If you refer to two or more publications by the same author that have been published in the same year, distinguish between them by using a, b, c, and so on: (Clarke 2003a, 2003b).
