Articles must be submitted electronically as email attachments. In general, articles should be between 5,000 and 10,000 words in length, including notes. Each copy of any kind of submission must be single-sided, double-spaced, with at least one-inch margins, and in a legible typeface, preferred size is 12 points and preferred font is Times New Roman. Articles must be submitted as Word documents. Mention any proposed illustrations with the initial submission but not the illustrations themselves. If the article is accepted, illustrations may be submitted either electronically as TIFF files at 300 dpi or as scanner-ready hard copy (e.g. photographs of artwork).
Notation Style: The Journal follows The Chicago Manual of Style, Fifteenth Edition. For transliteration of Persian, Arabic and Turkish words authors may follow the transliteration table of the International Journal of Middle East Studies, but omit the diacritical marks. Other transliteration schemes may also be used, so long as this is done consistently. If transliterations are not strictly consistent the paper would be returned to the author. References should be in the notes only, not in a separate bibliography of list of works cited. Notes will be printed as footnotes, and should be used judiciously. Authors must strictly comply with the journal notation style. Please note, publications data include place and date only, not the name of publisher. At the first mention of a work, a full citation should be given, thereafter a short form:
Book: Edward Granville Browne, A Literary History of Persia (Cambridge, 1920),3: ] 81.
Chapter: A. J. Boyle, "Dynastic and Political History of the I1-Khans," The Cambridge History of Iran (Cambridge, 1968),5: 409.
