We can receive submissions either electronically or in the post with a disk. The file should be saved as a word document. We have difficulty with Word Perfect, so please save the file as a word document before copying onto the disk or as an attachment. Electronic files can be sent to editor@cnsjournal.org or in the post to CNS, P.O. Box 89, Willow, NY 12495. Please contact us with any questions.

Please follow the guidelines below when formatting your manuscripts for CNS:

• Spelling: We use U.S. English spelling and usage. In particular, use -ize instead of -ise (as in "globalize"), -er rather than -re (as in "center") and -or instead of -our (as in "labor").
  
  
• Footnotes: Footnotes are used at the bottom of each page instead of at the end or innotes in parentheses within sentences. Notes should be numbered in the same font as the rest of the essay. If acknowledgements are required, they should be placed before the numbered notes and marked by an asterisk.

References should list the following in order. For books: author name(s) in order of first then last name(s), title in italic, edition or translation information, place of publication (followed by a colon), publisher, year of publication, page number references if required (using abbreviations p. or pp.). Only use page numbers for where the citation can be found, not for the entire chapter. For newspaper articles: author name(s) in order of first then last name(s), title within double quotes, newspaper name in italic, full date of publication, and page number if available. For magazine and journal articles: author name(s) in order of first then last name(s), title within double quotes, name of journal in italic, volume number followed by a comma, space, issue number, comma, space, and year of publication. Only use page numbers for the page where the citation appears, not the entire article.

After citing a source for the first time in full, subsequent references to the same source can be abbreviated with the author's surname, op. cit., in italics and page references as required, when the full citation appeared previously; if new citation follows immediately after the previous citation, then ibid., in italics, followed by page number if different than previous citation, is all that is required. For some examples of these forms:

Headings: Common sub-headings should be in bold, same point size as what is used in the text, numbered, and centered, e.g.,

1. Economic Internationalization

Quotation Marks: Use double quotation marks generally, with single quotation marks for quotes within quotes. Punctuation should be within quotation marks.

Displayed extracts of more than one long sentence are set apart from the rest of the text by a half-inch indentation at both ends with no additional space before or after. These extracts do not need quotation marks. For words added which are not found in the original quotation use in square brackets to indicate they are not part of the quoted matter.
For example:

As Rosa Luxemburg argues:

[What is needed is a] dialectical process of the class struggle of the proletariat fighting for democratic conditions in the state and at the same time organizing itself and gaining class consciousness. Because it gains this class consciousness and organizes itself in the course of the struggle, it achieves a democratization of the bourgeois state and, in the measure that it itself ripens, makes the bourgeois state ripe for a socialist revolution. (followed by a footnote mark and the citation put in the footnote.)

Indentation: Paragraphs should begin with a 1/4 inch tab, even when following a new section heading or sub-heading.

Emphases: Words that the author wishes to emphasise in the text should be italicized rather than underlined.

Dates: Dates are written in the style July 15, 1998, and decades as the seventies or the 1970s without an apostrophe. A range of years is elided to the last two digits, such as 1987-88.

Line Spacing: Please double space throughout, including endnotes.

Length: Articles we prefer 7,000-10,000 words, but will consider other lengths on their merit. Book Review Essays 1500 words, Book Reviews 750-1000 words, Booknotes 250-500 words.
