Mediterranean Historical Review is a refereed journal. Articles submitted to Mediterranean Historical Review should be original contributions and should not be under consideration for any other publication at the same time. If another version of the article is under consideration by another publication or has been or will be published elsewhere, authors should clearly indicate this at the time of submission.
There is no standard length for articles, but 5,000–8,000 words (including notes and references) is a useful target. The article should begin with an indented and italicized summary of around 100 words describing its main arguments and conclusions. The author’s institutional affiliation, full address, and other contact information should be included on a separate cover sheet. Any acknowledgements should be included on the cover sheet, as should a note of the number of words in the article. All diagrams, charts, and graphs should be referred to as figures and consecutively numbered. Tables should be kept to a minimum and contain only essential data. Each figure and table must be given an Arabic numeral, followed by a heading, and be referred to in the text.
Each manuscript should be submitted in triplicate, printed on A4/Letter paper, on one side only, double-spaced and with ample margins, and as an e-mail attachment or on high-density 3½ inch disks (IBM PC compatible). All pages (including those containing only figures and tables) should be numbered consecutively. Notes and References should be grouped together at the end of the file. Tables should also be submitted as separate files. Any diagrams or maps should be copied to a separate disk in uncompressed .TIF or .JPG formats in individual files. These should be prepared in black and white. Tints should be avoided in favour of open patterns instead. If maps and diagrams cannot be prepared electronically, they should be presented on good-quality white paper.
Each disk should be labelled with the journal’s name, article title, author’s name, and software used. It is the author’s responsibility to ensure that when copyrighted materials are included within an article the permission of the copyright holder has been obtained. Confirmation of this should be included on a separate sheet included with the disk.
Authors are entitled to a copy of the issue in which their article appears and either a .PDF file or 50 free offprints of their article.
Style
Authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts conform to the journal style. The Editors will not undertake retyping of manuscripts before publication. A guide to style and presentation is obtainable from the Editors or from the publisher.
Dates in the text should be in the form ‘1 January 2005’. Use ‘1920s’ and ‘1946-48’. Use single inverted commas for quotations, double within single; quotations of more than four lines should be indented, with no inverted commas. Articles should use UK spelling and punctuation. Please follow the Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors.
Notes should be numbered consecutively and indicated by a raised numeral, referring to the list of notes to be placed at the end of the article. A list of references, containing the full details of the publications referred to in the article, should follow the list of notes. Book titles should be in italics; titles of articles and chapters in edited collections should be in single inverted commas. For example:
Horden, P., and N. Purcell. The Corrupting Sea. Oxford: Blackwell, 2000.
Jensen, Geoffrey. ‘Toward the “Moral Conquest” of Morocco: Hispano-Arabic Education in Early Twentieth Century North Africa’. European History Quarterly 31 (2001): 205–29.
