Format: Please create an account at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cssh to submit a digital version of the paper, an abstract of 250 words or less, and up to ten key words.

Graphic images: For purposes of review, you need to submit digitally any graphic material (figures, images, maps). Smaller, JPEG files are much preferred for the review stage since we may email them to reviewers. Include captions for the images. The section entitled “Figures” toward the end of this guide provides more detailed information. Higher-quality digital images are only required once an article has been accepted for publication. Please note that we will not return materials sent to us as part of the submission process.

Prior publication: Only original, previously unpublished manuscripts are accepted for review. A CSSH paper must not appear in any other venue until publication of the CSSH issue following that in which it appears. This includes publication in conference volumes or on public areas of the World Wide Web (the appearance of all or part of a manuscript on a personal web page, however, is not prohibited under this rule). The failure to disclose facts of prior or pending publication may be considered cause for a manuscript’s immediate rejection, without peer review. Prior publication in a series of working papers may be allowed if the series was produced for limited circulation. Please inquire regarding specific cases. Authors should make note of any such circumstances in their cover letters. Please keep in mind that the submission of a single manuscript to multiple publications does not fall under fair practice, and papers that have been simultaneously sent to other journals or publishers for consideration will not be reviewed.
