Submissions:

Manuscripts should be arranged as follows:

Brief biography of the author(s)

Text, Endnotes, Bibliography: The full citation for all sources referenced in the paper should be listed in alphabetical order after the endnotes section

Electronic submissions are encouraged and MUST be sent to the following
e-mail address in order to ensure receipt and proper processing:

Letters to the editor may be submitted via e-mail to: JHR@uconn.edu and should be identified as such in the subject header of the message.

Presentation:

All copies should be typed without right justification, and with no hyphenation. For spelling, punctuation, and style refer to the American Heritage Dictionary and the Chicago Manual of Style.

The text should be double-spaced, including indented passages, tables, and endnotes. Use one side of the paper only. Each table and figure should be on a separate page, and should be referred to in numerical order in the text. Location notes (e.g., insert Table 1 here) should be provided in the text. Figures and tables must be camera-ready copy, and are the author(s)' responsibility. Manuscripts must include all necessary diacritical marks in both the text and the endnotes. Foreign words and names which are written with the Latin alphabet may be spelled either in the original language or in a commonly used transcription system, but must be transcribed if they are not written with the Latin alphabet. In general, it is easier to give common place names in their standard English form than in more complicated transcription systems. Acronyms must be spelled out at their first appearance in the text: Popular Movement for the Revolution (MPR).

The text of the manuscript should range from 10 to 30 pages. Manuscripts over 30 pages are not encouraged, except in special instances. All manuscripts must be written in English, except by prior permission of the editor. Manuscripts submitted by authors whose major working language is not English will be edited and, if necessary, re-written prior to publication.

Two (2) copies of the manuscript must be submitted in the style of the journal specified below. Manuscripts which are not in the style of the journal will be returned to authors. Please also submit a diskette containing your contribution, formatted for Microsoft Word. Unsolicited manuscripts will not be returned.

Endnotes:

Notes should be kept to a minimum and marked clearly in the text at the point of punctuation by superior numbers, and listed consecutively at the end of the article. They should not be as footnotes to manuscript pages.

References:

These should follow the Harvard system, i.e. they should be indicated in the typescript by giving the author's name, with the year of publication in parentheses, e.g. Smith (1994): or if there are more than two authors - Smith et al. (1994). If several papers from the same author(s) and from the same year are cited, (a), (b), (c), etc. should be put after the year of publication. The references should then be listed in full alphabetically at the end of the paper on a separate sheet in the following standard form:

GELB, M. (1995) An Early Soviet Deportation: Far Eastern Koreans. The Russian Review, 54, 389 - 412.

HOROWITZ, I. L. (1980) Taking Lives: Genocide and State Power (New Brunswick, NJ: Transaction Books), p. 17.
