INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MIDDLE EAST STUDIES Contributions and Editorial Correspondence
Send article submissions to the Editorial Office (address on in- side front cover). Articles submitted to the journal should not be, or have been, submitted elsewhere. Books for review should also be sent to the Editor for forwarding to the Book Review Editors. Unsolicited book reviews cannot be accepted for publication.
Manuscript Preparation and Style
General. An article must be in English, should not exceed 40 typewritten pages (including main text, notes, tables, and fig- ure captions), and should be typed on 8/2" x 11" or A4 white bond paper with ample margins on all sides. The entire manu- script-including notes, tables, and references-must be typed double-spaced in Courier or equivalent typeface no smaller than 10 pt. with all pages numbered consecutively. Title and author's name should be centered at the top of the first text page. Institutional affiliation and location (including phone, FAX and e-mail address) should appear at the bottom of the last text page. The Editorial Office may find it necessary to return manuscripts for reworking or retyping that do not conform to these requirements. Text. Use a 5-character paragraph indent. Avoid hyphenat- ing words at the end of lines. Do not use desk-top publishing features (e.g., right margin justification or bold and italic type- faces). Block indent long quotations (more than 50 words). Never cross-reference.
Endnotes and References. Notes must be numbered consecu- tively throughout the text, typed double-spaced in paragraph style, and grouped together as a unit following the text. Foot- notes at the bottom of the text page are not permitted. Any ac- knowledgment of grant support, substantial assistance, etc., should be typed as an Author's Note above the first note. Pro- vide the full name of the author as it appears on the publica- tion. All titles in non-Roman alphabets (Arabic, Cyrillic, etc.) must be transliterated. Foreign titles in Roman alphabets should be capitalized as they would be in that particular lan- guage. An English translation of nonstandard language titles should be provided in parentheses after the title. The style of note citations should conform with the following examples:
'Stanford J. Shaw, History of Ottoman Empire and Mod- ern Turkey, 2 vols. (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1977), Reform, Revolution and Republic: The Rise of Mod- ern Turkey 1808-1975, 2:3-6.
2Jamil M. Abun-Nasr, A History of the Maghrib in the Islamic Period, 3rd ed. (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1987), 10.
3Howard Crane, trans. and ed., Risale-i Micmnaryye: An Early-Seventeenth-Century Ottoman Treatise on Architec- ture, Studies in Islamic Art and Architecture 1 (Leiden: E. J. Brill, 1987), 71.
4Martin Rein and Donald Schon, "Frame-Reflective Pol- icy Discourse," in Social Sciences and Modern States, ed. Peter Wagner, Carol Hirschon Weiss, Bjorn Wittrock, and Hellmut Wollman (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1991), 262-89.
5Clifford Geertz, "Toutes Directions: Reading the Signs in an Urban Sprawl," International Journal of Middle East Studies 21 (August 1989): 291-306.
When references to the same work follow without interrup- tion use ibid. When notes to the same work follow after inter- ruption, use the author's last name and a shortened title of the book or article. Do not use op. cit.:
6Shaw, History of Ottoman Empire, 2:6.
7Ibid., 1:10-52.
As a less-preferred alternative, authors may use the social sci- ence method of citation. In the text, cite author and year in pa- rentheses. In the reference section, provide the full citation: author's full name, title, city of publication, publisher, and year. IJMES does not publish bibliographies.
Foreign Words and Transliteration. All Arabic words found in an unabridged dictionary (e.g., ulema, shaykh, qadi, Sunni, Shi'i, mihrab, minbar, madrasa, masjid, jamic, hadith, suq) should be treated as English words, that is, not underlined and without diacriticals. Contemporary names and places should be spelled as they are found in such standard publica- tions as the New York Times. All other transliterated words and phrases should be underlined and all their diacriticals in- cluded throughout the text. Be sure to distinguish between the hamza, 'ayn, and the apostrophe in the text. No diacriti- cal marks other than the hamza and the 'ayn should appear in any proper names (e.g., names of people, dynasties, places) and names of well-known literary works (Qur'an, Shah- nama), except: works written in Arabic, Persian, and Otto- man Turkish and cited in transliteration in the notes must include diacriticals for both author and title.
Transliteration System. All non-Roman alphabets must be transliterated, and authors are responsible for the consis- tency and accuracy of their transliterations. For Arabic and Persian, IJMES uses the modified Encyclopaedia of Islam system: qaf = q not k; jim = j not dj; roman double-letter equivalents are not underlined; the I of al- is not assimilated to the following consonant; ta marbuta is rendered a not ah; the adjectival -ya followed by ta marbuta is rendered -iyya. Except at the beginning of an English sentence or endnote, only proper names are capitalized. For Ottoman Turkish, use either the Encyclopaedia of Islam system or modern Turkish orthography. For treatment of common Turkish words, such as medrese, turbe, etc., follow the rules on anglicizing Ara- bic and Persian words.
Dates. IJMES does not use double dating. Use common era (A.D.) dates only, unless quoting from an original source, in which case use the date as quoted (hijra, solar, etc.) with the common-era equivalent in parentheses. Tables and Figures. Tables and figures must be cited in the text, e.g., (see Table 1). They should be numbered consecu- tively in arabic numbers, captioned, and appear as a unit fol- lowing the notes section. They cannot be interspersed in the text. Diagrams must be professionally rendered or computer generated; details should be large enough to remain legible at 50% reduction. Below-standard artwork will be returned to the author for replacement. All artwork must be numbered and labeled with the author's name and article title. For half- tones or other illustrations, consult the editor.
Photos. When appropriate, photos may be submitted with a manuscript to the Editorial Office. Their use will be at the Ed- itor's discretion. Images should be printed in black and white, 4 x 6 or 5 x 7 format, with sufficient contrast to reproduce well.
Publishing Information
Production. The publisher reserves the right to copyedit manuscripts to conform to the journal's style, which follows the rules found in the Chicago Manual of Style. Spelling will be edited to conform to American usage. More substantial editing will be returned to the author for approval before publication.
The lead author will receive one set of proofs for the correc- tion of typographical or factual errors only. No rewriting will be allowed in the proof stage. Authors must return the material to the editorial office within 48 hours of receipt or approval will be assumed.
Offprints. The lead author of an article (but not book- review) will receive 50 free offprints of the article. Addi- tional offprints may be purchased if ordered at the proof stage. Orders received after the issue is printed are subject to a 50% reprint surcharge.
Copyright and Originality. Submission of an article implies that it has not been simultaneously submitted or previously published elsewhere. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material under copyright. Contrib- utors will be asked to assign their own copyright, on certain conditions, to Cambridge University Press.
