SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

1. Articles accepted for the Journal of Sport History should demonstrate international quality of scholarship, rigour and analysis. It would be an advantage in terms of likelihood of publication if the piece addresses a significant issue, even if only by contextualisation, and is likely to be widely cited. Authors are requested to submit their manuscript by e-mail attachment to the Editor: Wray Vamplew at (wray.vamplew@stir.ac.uk)
   Articles must be sent in WordPerfect, Microsoft Word or rich-text format (.rtf).
2. The author(s) name should appear on the cover page only as manuscripts are evaluated anonymously. Except for quotations, all manuscripts must be in English.
3. An abstract of no more than 150 words should be submitted on a separate sheet.
4. The entire article, including block quotations, footnotes and figure captions, should be double-spaced with at least a one-inch margin on all sides. All pages should be numbered consecutively throughout. Manuscripts should not exceed 9,000 words including notes. Shorter articles are welcome. In order to reduce the number of footnotes, citation by paragraph is permissible where appropriate. Notes should be located at the end and numbered consecutively.
5. Authors should follow the Chicago Manual of Style e.g.

   References to archival material should begin with the document and end with the location of the archive e.g. newspaper clipping, 1896, scrapbook of Frank Crane, United States Golf Association Library, Far Hills, New Jersey. Please refrain from using Latin abbreviations other than Ibid. (for an immediate second reference). A second citation should normally be in the form Parratt, “Making Leisure Work,” 473.
