Abbreviations: <\/strong>U.K., U.S., N.Y., EU, NATO, UNESCO<\/p>\n

Apostrophes<\/strong>: Do not use an apostrophe in a date: 1990s, not 1990\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Bibliographic References: <\/strong>put a brief reference in the text, and then a full reference in an endnote.<\/p>\n

Capitalization: <\/strong>see guidelines at http:\/\/ia.juniata.edu\/citation\/chicago_notes\/chicago-capitals.htm<\/a>. Capitalize a foreign language title according to the practice of its language.<\/p>\n

Citations: <\/strong>see guidelines at http:\/\/www.chicagomanualofstyle.org\/tools_citationguide.html<\/a><\/p>\n

Colons:<\/strong> Use lowercase letters following colons, unless the word is normally capitalized, or the sentence is complete. Note: the Chicago style has a space after the colon but not before.<\/p>\n

Commas: <\/strong>In lists of items, do not use a comma before \u201cand\u201d where the sense is clear without it. For standard comma usage, refer to http:\/\/www.uefap.com\/writing\/punc\/punc.htm<\/p>\n

Ellipses<\/strong>: For ellipses, do not use spaces between the periods: instead do this: \u2026<\/p>\n

Endnotes: <\/strong>Use endnotes, not footnotes or in-text references. Where possible, include the information in the text itself instead. Check that numbers and text match.<\/p>\n

Endnote Numbering<\/strong>: Insert after commas, periods or quotation marks; before semi-colons or colons.<\/p>\n

Font: <\/strong>Send your text in a standard font, such as Arial. Our Webmaster uses Trebuchet MS.<\/p>\n

Hyphens<\/strong>: Use em dashes\u2014solid dashes\u2014as seen here. Use en dashes for hyphenating words such as single-spaced.<\/em>Do not insert a space before or after an em-dash: like this\u2014, not this \u2014 .<\/p>\n

See sensible notes on hyphens at <\/em>http:\/\/owl.english.purdue.edu\/owl\/resource\/576\/01\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Indenting<\/strong>: Do not indent the first line of a new paragraph.<\/p>\n

Italics:<\/strong> Use italics\u2014not underlining\u2014for titles and emphasis.<\/p>\n

Names: <\/strong>Give full names of people mentioned in the articles; do not use initials. Very common names will not need a first name (Sophocles, Shakespeare, Moli\u00e8re).<\/p>\n

Pagination: <\/strong>Do not paginate your article.<\/p>\n

Parentheses: <\/strong>Parentheses have spaces before and after, like this (with a space); not(without a space).<\/p>\n

Play and Book Titles: <\/strong>In italics, not all-capitals or underlined.<\/p>\n

Quotations:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Indented Quotes: For quotations longer than three lines, create a space above and below the quotation, and indent.<\/p>\n

– Punctuation: Periods and commas come before closing quotation marks, like ,\u201d and .\u201d<\/p>\n

Colons, semicolons, question marks and exclamation points follow closing quotation marks (unless a question mark or exclamation point are part of the quoted material).<\/p>\n

Examples: I heard her say, \u201cI\u2019m not listening!\u201d Did you hear her say, \u201cI\u2019m not listening\u201d?<\/p>\n

– Quotation Marks: Double for quoted material in the body of the text. Single for quotation inside passages already in double quotes. Double for defining, highlighting, etc.<\/p>\n

Section Headings (Intertitles):<\/strong> consider using these for easier reading on the Internet.<\/p>\n

Spacing:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Line Spacing: Single-space the entire article.<\/p>\n

– Paragraph Spacing: Add one line space between paragraphs. (This means the whole article is single-spaced with one additional line space between paragraphs.)<\/p>\n

– Sentence Spacing: Use only one space after sentence-end periods and after all punctuation.<\/p>\n

Spelling: <\/strong>\u201ctheatre,\u201d not \u201ctheater.\u201d<\/p>\n

Word Program<\/strong>: Please send your work in Microsoft Word (or an easily convertible file) to ensure that your formatting will be retained.<\/p>\n

Writing: <\/strong>If you previously delivered your text to a live audience, please remove remarks or references to that occasion from the text before submitting.<\/p>\n
