General Guidelines for Submissions

Please format your essay as follows:

  • file type as Microsoft Word with .docx extension.
  • font as Calibri, 12 point.
  • title with default Microsoft Word ‘Header 1’ style  applied.
  • author name in second line without special styling.
  • paragraph formatting in block form: left-aligned, single-spaced, no paragraph indents, and a single blank line between paragraphs.
  • section and subsections with default ‘Header 2’ and ‘Header 3’ styles respectively. (The Header 1, 2 and 3 designations determine how the headings are formatted in the site, and can provide search engines with a useful outline of the article to index.)

For sources and citations, please use the following conventions:

  • hyperlinked citations within the text whenever possible.
  • footnotes (Arabic numbered) when sources not available or accessible online.
  • Chicago style for citations. You can find a simple outline of it here. If a different style is necessary or converting your work to the Chicago style is inconvenient, we will accommodate other styles. However, please keep your style consistent throughout.
