SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Environmental History welcomes manuscript submissions from scholars in all disciplines that provide insight into important issues in the history of human interactions with the non-human world. We are happy to consider manuscripts about any time and any part of the world.       When we evaluate manuscripts, we consider the significance of the topic, the originality of the argument, and the quality of the research and writing. We also consider the potential readership for each piece, and authors should give careful thought to the question of audience. What kind of readers will find your work compelling? If a manuscript is likely to appeal only to a few specialists in one sub-field of environmental history, we probably will not be interested.       To have a manuscript considered for publication, please send FOUR copies to the journal s editorial assistant, Carol Marochak, at 701 Wm. Vickers Avenue, Durham, NC 27701. Some manuscripts are rejected immediately because they are too narrowly focused or more suited to another journal. Most manuscripts are sent to two referees for review. Usually, the first referee is an expert on the subject of the manuscript, and the second referee is a specialist in a related sub-field. Occasionally we send a manuscript to a third referee. The review process is blind: We do not identify authors when we send manuscripts to referees, and we do not identify referees when we share their evaluations with authors. We hope to respond to submissions within four months.       Articles in Environmental History normally are no longer than 8,000 words or twenty-eight double-spaced pages, not counting notes, so you should not submit a manuscript that greatly exceeds that length. The title page of your manuscript should include your name, academic affiliation, address, telephone number, and e-mail. The title page also must include a brief abstract. In 150 to 200 words, the abstract should explain clearly what you argue and why your work is significant. The first page of the text should begin with the title of your manuscript but should NOT include your name or contact information. To ensure your anonymity, you also should avoid personal references in the text and notes. Cite your own work just as you would cite the work of another author. Do not include acknowledgements. The manuscript should be double-spaced, and the four copies that you submit should have text on one side of the page only. Please do not send a computer disk.       If we accept your work, you will need to provide an electronic version of your article, and we will send you guidelines for electronic submission at that point. We also will give you instructions for the preparation of any graphic materials that accompany your article. If you plan to use any illustrations, maps, or photographs that are taken from a source protected by copyright, you will be responsible for securing permission from the copyright holder to use those materials.       If we accept your work, your article also will need to conform to certain standards of style and citation. Our articles have endnotes, for example, not in-text references to a list of sources. Articles cannot have more than 100 notes. Though we will consider submissions that do not meet our style and citation standards, the publication process will proceed much more efficiently if your manuscript conforms from the start. We rely on the Chicago Manual of Style in most matters.       Additional guidelines are available online at http://www.lib.duke.edu/forest/ehguide.htm. ISSN 1084-5453 USPS 205-020
