NPEC welcomes submissions that deal with all areas of the long eighteenth century. Authors who are not members of SEASECS are asked to join at the time of submission.
Length:
Essays should fall within the 4000-5000-word range, not including endnotes or bibliography
Format:
Essays should be submitted electronically as Word documents
Manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout, including quotations, endnotes, and bibliographies
Manuscripts should use a 12pt font
Pages should be numbered in the upper right corner using an abbreviated form of the title as the identifier
Because NPEC uses a double-blind system of review, essays should be stripped of any details that would identify the writer. Authors should attach, as a second document, a cover page containing the full title of the essay, the name and affiliation of the author, contact information, both email and snail mail, the word length of the essay, not including the endnotes or bibliography, and a 150-word abstract.
Language:
Essays should be written in English
Quotations in other languages should be translated into English
Original language quotations of fewer than 10 words should appear in parentheses
Original language quotations in excess of 10 words should be incorporated in the endnotes
Documentation:
Citations should be in endnotes, using the current edition of the Chicago Manual of Style
Consult CMS for appropriate use of block quotations
Avoid discursive footnotes
Incorporate significant additions to the argument in the body of the essay
For repeated references to primary sources, employ parenthetical citations after the initial reference
In addition to the endnotes, include a bibliography of primary and secondary sources that are critical to the discussion
When authors incorporate substantive suggestions made by reviewers, these contributions should be given appropriate attribution
Review Process:
Essays are initially read by the Editor-in-Chief to establish that they conform to the above guidelines
Essays that pass the initial reading are sent to two readers for substantial reviews and recommendations (accept; accept with minor revisions; accept with major revisions; reject)
Authors are normally informed of our decision within 3 months
