Submission Guidelines
MANUSCRIPT GUIDELINES
All manuscripts must be presented as MicrosoftWord documents via
email attachment, with the title of the article as the filename. Please submit proposed articles via email attachment to jst@tamuk.edu.
All manuscripts must be typewritten, double-spaced, justified, in 12-
point font, and with a 1-inch margin. The manuscript must be preceded by
the name of the author and contact information for the author. Authors
must use endnotes rather than footnotes. Compound endnotes (placing one
endnote at the conclusion of a paragraph) are acceptable. Authors must
also include a single paragraph biography with their submission.
The JST requires that authors follow the citation guidelines established
in Turabian’s AManual forWriters of Term Papers, Theses and Dissertations
or The Chicago Manual of Style.
IMAGE GUIDELINES
Manuscripts that include accompanying figures must include notes on
the author’s preference for placement of those accompanying figures in
brackets ([Figure 1. Caption]) where the author prefers the figures be
placed. The JST will layout figures as close to the author’s preference as
possible. Images must be sent as separate email attachments, as either
non-compressed TIFFs, or high-quality JPEGs, at a minimum of 300 dpi
(resolution) and a minimum of 5 inches in length or width. It is the responsibility of the author to secure the rights to publish any images submitted with their manuscript.
BOOK REVIEW GUIDELINES
Reviews should be submitted as a MicrosoftWord document via email
attachment, with the title of the book being reviewed as the filename.
All reviews must be typewritten, double-spaced, justified, and be preceded by single-spaced bibliographic information. Reviews should be between 500 and 1000 words in length, depending upon the scope of the
book. At the end of the review, the reviewer’s affiliation should be flush
with the left margin, and the reviewer’s name should be flush with the
right margin.
