Information for Authors

Armenian Forum welcomes scholarly articles, research notes, and literate commentaries on the Armenian diaspora and Armenia in modern and contemporary times. The journal is open to submissions from specialists in diverse fields and is committed to fostering informed discussion of the regional and global processes of which Armenian life is a part. Since the journal is multidisciplinary, articles must be written in a language that educated people outside the author’s immediate field can readily digest.

Send manuscripts to Editor, Armenian Forum, P.O. Box 208, Princeton, N.J. 08542-0208. Submission involves the tacit assurance that the material has not been published and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Unsolicited reviews of books, CDs, and the like cannot be accepted for publication.

Authors should submit their manuscript in triplicate, unless they are mailing from overseas, in which case one specimen will do. They should include an abstract and autobiographical notes (each roughly one hundred words). Authors of articles and research notes may request that their submissions be forwarded to referees anonymously (in which case they should prepare the manuscript accordingly). Manuscripts cannot be returned unless accompanied by a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

The journal will consider essays in English, French, and Armenian. Works accepted for publication will be translated into English.

Manuscript preparation. Manuscripts should be typewritten with adequate margins on 8½ × 11–inch or A4 white bond paper. Please double-space everything, avoid justifying the lines (keep them flush left, ragged right), and be consistent (don’t indent paragraphs with tabs in one place, with spaces someplace else, and not at all in yet another place).

Armenian Forum follows the recommendations of the Chicago Manual of Style, 14th edition. Bibliographic citations should appear in footnotes. Please include the full name of the author as it appears in each work cited, along with the full title of the work, the name of the publisher, the place and date of publication, and the full range of pages (no ff. or passim). For second and subsequent references, avoid using op. cit.; use a shortened form of the title instead.

Once a manuscript is accepted for publication, authors are requested to submit a 3½–inch disk or an electronic mail attachment containing their manuscript. The preferred word-processing software is Microsoft Word for Windows. Most other formats are supported, however.

Illustrations. The journal encourages authors to submit relevant visual material to illustrate their articles. Photocopies may be submitted with the manuscript. However, upon acceptance of the manuscript for publication, the author will need to submit high-quality reproducible originals.

Authors are responsible for obtaining written permission to reprint extracts and reproduce illustrations. Copies of permission forms should be supplied with the final manuscript. All necessary credits and acknowledgments should be included in the figure legends.

Authors will receive thirty copies of their contribution (fifteen copies of reviews) and two copies of the issue in which it appears. Where a submission has more than one author, the lead author will receive the copies and offprints.
