Style Guidelines for Authors
-
The Berkeley Newsletter
accepts scholarly articles in American or British English, using American
punctuation. Submitted articles must be suitable for blind review
and should be submitted to the Senior or Coordinating Editor.
-
The Berkeley Newsletter accepts
notes, reviews and abstracts in American or British English, using American
punctuation, submitted to the appropriate editor.
-
Contributors should use issue #17 (2006)
as a model for formatting.
-
Submissions should be in Word format
suitable for conversion to PDF for publication.
-
Headings should be in upper- and lower-case letters, not
in all caps (Two Letters by Berkeley, not TWO LETTERS BY BERKELEY).
-
Follow American-style punctuation. In
particular, use double quotes,
placing commas and periods inside the quote marks, but colons and semicolons
outside the marks ("these," and "those." but "these": and "those";).
-
Reserve single quotes for quotations
inside of quotations. Use double quotes to distinguish concepts and words.
-
Use square brackets for author interpolations: "The
having of general ideas, says he [Locke], is that which puts a perfect
distinction betwixt man and brutes [emphasis mine]."
-
Follow the Chicago Manual of Style (15th
edition) for citations in submitted material.
