Instructions to Authors
IA, The Journal of the Society for Industrial Archeology, publishes original material concerning industrial heritage. Broadly conceived, our focus extends to considerations of sites, artifacts, processes, landscapes, and individuals related to the development of industries and industrialized societies.
|
|
IA welcomes articles that seek to describe and explain the industrial past, research notes on current studies, and comments on the status of scholarly study and practice of industrial archeology, including articles on preservation, adaptive use, and interpretation of industrial sites and landscapes.
|
|
Manuscript review
Manuscripts will be subjected to anonymous review by at least three peers, including (whenever possible) persons expert in the specialty study area under consideration. The author(s) of accepted manuscripts will be advised of needed revisions. Proofs will be circulated for final approval before printing.
|
|
Manuscript submission
Manuscripts may be submitted in hard copy, on disk, or via electronic mail. Because of the blind review, author's name(s) should appear only on the cover letter, not on the manuscripts themselves. For review, submit illustrations in high-quality photocopy form. Submit footnotes and figure captions on a separate sheet of paper or file accompanying the text. Include an abstract of 50–100 words. Preference is given to manuscripts under 7,500 words.
|
|
Hard copy submission—Submit four copies printed clearly on 8 1/2-by-11-inch bond paper, single sided, double spaced. Use wide margins (minimum one inch). Do not hyphenate at the right-hand margin.
|
|
Digital submission—Submit manuscript on CD or DVD. Use Word, WordPerfect, or unformatted ASCII text in a Macintosh, UNIX, or Windows format. Label the disk with owner's name and contents, including file names and format. Submit a hard-copy printout as well.
|
|
Electronic submission—Transmit manuscript electronically to the editor's e-mail address (pemartin@mtu.edu).
|
|
Manuscript format
Generally, refer to The Chicago Manual of Style (15th ed.) and recent issues of IA for guidelines.
