GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSIONS

CSQ is a refereed journal: all articles are submitted to qualified peers for evaluation. The identity of the author is not revealed to the evaluator nor the identity of the evaluator to the author. You may cite your own previous work, but you should not identify yourself as author within the article.

When submitting an article, please keep the following points in mind:

  • Print the author's name on the first and last page only.
  • At the end of the article provide the address at which the author may receive correspondence. Include an e-mail address if possible.
  • On a separate page, please include a brief biographical note, listing, for example, current occupation and position. For examples, see the "Contributors" section at the end of recent issue of CSQ.

Concerning questions of style:

  • Please conform to CSQ's style sheet. This style sheet is available by mail upon request or here in PDF format.
  • Please use footnotes, not endnotes.
  • Please use CSQ's standard abbreviations. A full listing of abbreviations is available by mail upon request or here in PDF format.

For additional help with footnotes, see Footnote Basics.

Concerning formatting:

  • Keep formatting to a minimum. Use no headers or footers.
  • Articles submitted by mail may be printed or typed with both text and footnotes double-spaced (no endnotes).
  • Articles submitted by e-mail should be in RTF format.
