Author Guidelines

We will consider papers between 15-50 pages (including notes) in length--roughly between 5000 and 17,500 words--double spaced in a 12-point Times New Roman font.

Longer papers may be considered but will require a rationale explaining to the Editor the reasons for requiring additional length.

Please head your paper with a cover page listing your name, physical address, email address, and affiliation.

Provide as well on the cover page an abstract of the paper of no more than 200 words.

On the cover sheet, you may also offer the names and email addresses of up to three referees capable of assessing your paper (whom we may or may not consult). 

The journal uses The Chicago Manual of Style, 17th ed. (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2017).

Please use the Brief JES Style Sheet and the Sample Chicago Manual of Style Citations guide to prepare your submission.
