Submission Guidelines

GUIDELINES

The purpose of the U.S.-Japan Women's Journal is to exchange scholarship on women and gender between the U.S., Japan, and other countries; to enlarge the base of information available in Japan on the status of American women as well as women in other countries; to disseminate information on Japanese women to the U.S.; and to stimulate comparative study of women's issues. The editors of USJWJ welcome contributions consistent with its purpose.

  1. The manuscript should be written in a style accessible to general readers. The readers of USJWJ comprise general readers as well as scholars in various fields. Papers using advanced statistical methods are not preferred.
  2. Manuscripts can be written in English or Japanese. Papers written in Japanese will be translated into English.
  3. Frequent use of headings is preferred to structure the paper and make it easy to follow (see past issues of the Journal).
  4. Materials under consideration elsewhere will not be accepted.
  5. Submit a computer file of your manuscript and three hard copies to Dr. Sally A. Hastings, History Department, University Hall, 672 Oval Drive, Purdue University, W. Lafayette, IN 47907-2087, USA (sahnolte@purdue.edu).
  1. The manuscript should be double-spaced and no more than 35 pages long (including references and notes). Notes should be kept to a minimum and should appear as endnotes at the end of (and separate from) the text; the notes section can be preceded by a list of references if needed.
  2. Please use carats (^) to indicate macrons (long marks) over letters in romanized Japanese words.
  3. For general guidelines on appropriate style and format, see Kate L. Turabian's A Manual for Writers or The Chicago Manual of Style. For the USJWJ Style Sheet, please email your request to Dr. Hastings (sahnolte@purdue.edu) or look at (http://www.josai.jp/jicpas/usjwj/).
