The Owl of Minerva

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Send one hard copy of the manuscript and an electronic copy on a high-density diskette to:

In order to save paper and postage costs, authors may print their submissions on both sides of the page and may use line-and-a-half spacing. The manuscript must be submitted in a form appropriate for blind review. The author's name should appear only on a separate title page. The body of the manuscript must contain nothing that reveals the author's identity. Articles should be no longer than 25,000 words (approximately 100 double-spaced pages). The Owl will consider monographs whose length falls between 25,000 and 37,500 words (approximately 100-150 double-spaced pages). But the publication of monographs will depend on extraordinary circumstances, e.g. the availability of extra funds and the excellence of the manuscript, and cannot be guaranteed even for good work. Since The Owl of Minerva is an international journal, citations of sources originally written in a language other than English must refer to sections or pages in original language editions as well as to English translations. Full bibliographical information must be given for all sources, and citations must conform to the style requirements of The Chicago Manual of Style (latest edition).

The Owl will not consider a manuscript that is currently under consideration elsewhere or has been published previously, except in special circumstances and with the prior approval of the Editor.

Articles accepted for publication must be re-submitted on a 3.5" computer disk with double spacing throughout (including notes) and a double-spaced hard copy. Notes should be arranged as end notes at the end of the article. The preferred word processing program is Word Perfect for DOS 5.1. The following programs are acceptable: Word Perfect for DOS or Windows 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, 6.1; ASCII Text (Standard); Microsoft Word for Windows 6.0. Please, check disks for viruses.
