Guidelines for Manuscript Submissions
Manuscripts may be submitted as electronic attachments directly to the office of the
Journal of Folklore Research at jofr@indiana.edu.
All submissions must be in either Microsoft Word (.doc) format or Rich-Text Format (.rtf).
The text, quotations, and endnotes should be double-spaced with ample margins for copy-editing and
should conform to the fifteenth edition of the Chicago Manual of Style. (Those to whom the
Manual is unavailable should consult the pages of this journal or the JFR style sheet.)
Many authors find it helpful to consult recent issues of JFR before submitting to us. In addition, two sample articles are available for downloading:
Kirshenblatt-Gimblett, Barbara. 1989. "Authoring Lives." Journal of Folklore
Research 26/2:123-49.
Kwesi, Yankah. 1991. "Power and Circuit of Formal Talk." Journal of Folklore
Research 28/1:1-22.
If a manuscript includes notes, endnotes should be used rather than footnotes. Because manuscripts are refereed anonymously,
the author’s name and brief contributor information (not exceeding fifty words) should appear on the title page only.
All submissions should be accompanied by an abstract of no more than 250 words; the abstract will be published in the
journal as well as on the web.
Graphic elements should be submitted in digital form and accompany the initial manuscript submission. Please scan
images (including slides) at a resolution of 300 dpi, in TIF format. Size all images to no more than five inches (12.5 cm)
horizontally. Low-resolution images (such as those taken from the Internet) should be at least 900 pixels across to ensure
print quality.
Although electronic submission is preferred, hard-copy manuscripts may also be submitted in triplicate via post to the
following address and should be accompanied by an electronic copy on an IBM PC-formatted diskette:
Editor
Journal of Folklore Research
504 N. Fess St.
Bloomington IN 47408
Any inquiries concerning manuscript submission should be directed to the JFR editor at jofr@indiana.edu.
