Journal Details

General Instructions:

Submissions to the Journal of Song-Yuan Studies should be sent in electronic form as email attachments to the Editor (dskonicki@gmail.com). Manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout (text, quotes, and notes), using Times New Roman 12-point. Complete footnotes are preferred, but bibliographies are not required. Since the Journal uses an anonymous review process, authors should not identify themselves on the first page (please provide only a title), in the main body of the article, or in the footnotes.

Style:

Manuscripts should conform, as much as possible, to the guidelines outlined in this style sheet. Authors are strongly encouraged to consult back issues of JSYS for additional information on style.

Book Reviews:

The headings of reviews should contain the following information: title, author, place of publication, publisher, year, number of pages, and price. Unsolicited book reviews (not including comprehensive review essays) are unlikely to be considered.

Romanization:

JSYS uses Hanyu Pinyin for all Chinese romanization.

Chinese Characters:

Characters should appear where necessary in the body of the text or in the footnotes, following the appropriate romanization. Please use the SimSun font for all Chinese and Japanese characters. JSYS does not use separate glossaries. Use only traditional-form characters (fantizi 繁體字) except when citing modern scholarship that is itself produced in simplified form (jiantizi 簡體字). Characters need not be provided for names, terms, and titles familiar to Journal readers (Zhu Xi, Song shi, Zizhi tongjian, Daoxue, etc.). The Editor reserves the privilege to delete any unnecessary characters.

Office Titles And Government Organizations:

English translations of office titles and government organizations should be capitalized (e.g., Prefect, Bureau of Military Affairs, etc.); romanized office titles and government organs should be in lower case and in italics (cishi, shumi yuan, etc.).

Geographical Names:

Use Hanyu Pinyin or, where appropriate, Postal Spellings.

CITATION OF SOURCES:

Do not include the abbreviations p. and pp. before page numbers.

When citing Asian-language material in the notes, give the author’s name followed by characters, romanized title (followed by characters if necessary) without English translation
