What We Ask of Authors: Articles should start with a clear and pointed argument. We ask authors to make provocative arguments or provide new and concrete information. We ask book reviewers to engage with the contents of the book in question, instead of merely summarizing the book.
Contributors should avoid jargon, assumptions, technical language, and rhetoric. Spell out full titles and put acronyms in parentheses at their first use, including commonly used union acronyms. All references and notes should be incorporated, to the extent possible, into the main text of the article. When endnotes are necessary, please refer to the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th Edition. Please do not use footnotes. Submissions must be in 12 point Times Roman font, double-spaced, and in Microsoft Word. Authors are responsible for securing permission to reproduce all graphs, charts, illustrations, and other material that they use in their articles.
Editing Process: We use a multi-tiered editing process. Our editors will read each article and return comments to the author. Sometime we will seek a second or third round of revisions. After copyediting, we will send every article to our publisher, who will ultimately email authors the electronic page proofs of their articles for review. The publisher will incorporate any final changes and perform a final proofread to ensure that the article is ready for publication.
