INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS 1 Submission of typescripts. Articles will normally be of 8-10,000 words, but longer ones may be allowed in exceptional cases. They may be submitted in either French or English. Four copies of each typescript should be sent to the Editor, together with the originals and three photocopies of any statistical tables and maps. Only the originals of statistical tables and maps will be returned to authors if a paper is not accepted for publication. The Editor will notify authors as soon as possible on the acceptability of their papers, but will not enter into correspondence about papers considered unsuitable for publication. Neither the Editor nor the publisher accept responsibility for the views of authors expressed in their contributions. Authors may not submit manuscripts that are under consideration for publication elsewhere. 2 Typescript layout All material should be on A4 paper, in double-spaced typing and on one side of the page only. Word-processed typescripts are encouraged, since this facilitates alterations in the light of readers' comments. However, the printout should be doublespaced with an unjustified right-hand margin. Ample margins should be left. Each page of the typescript should be numbered. In reviews of books, there should be no footnotes, all material being incorporated in the text. In articles, and review articles, footnotes should be numbered consecutively and placed together in double-spaced typing on a separate page or pages at the end. They will be printed at the foot of each page, hi reviews of books, the author's name should appear at the end on the right, with his/her institution on the left. In articles and review articles, the author's name should appear at the beginning, immediately under the title of the piece. An asterisked footnote should be included, giving the author's present position, and an address sufficient for him/her to be contacted by readers, and (if so desired) brief acknowledgements. Degrees and other personal details should not be included. Quotation marks should be single and not double unless they indicate a quotation within a quotation. 3 References. References should be used sparingly. Book titles are italicized, e.g. R. E. Mousnier, La venalite des offices sous Henri IV et Louis XIII, 2nd edn (1971). Place of publication for French titles will be assumed to be Paris unless otherwise stated; for English titles, London unless otherwise stated. An abbreviated form of title should be established on the second occasion of use, e.g. Mousnier, La venalite, p. 210. If the reference is to an article in a periodical, it should include (after the author's name and the title of the article) the volume, date in brackets and pages of the periodical, e.g. English His, 91 (1981), 81831. To save space, the Editor will standardize abbreviations of periodical titles. It would be helpful if authors conformed to the system of abbreviations in the Arts and Humanities Citation Index. 4 Copyright/offprints. It is a condition of publication in the Journal that authors assign copyright to Oxford University Press. This ensures that requests from third parties to reproduce articles are handled efficiently and consistently and will allow the article to be as widely disseminated as possible. In assigning copyright, authors may use their own material in other publications provided that the Journal is acknowledged as the original place of publication, and Oxford University Press is notified in writing and in advance. In consideration for assignment of copyright, the publisher will supply the author of articles and review articles with 30 offprints without covers of each paper. Further offprints may be ordered at extra cost at the time of acceptance of articles. Authors of reviews will receive an offprint of the reviews section which they may photocopy. It is the author's responsibility to obtain permission to quote material from copyright sources. 5 Alterations to articles. To avoid delays in the production of the journal, proofs will be sent to contributors under the strictest time schedule of a fortnight's return. If the contributor's corrections have not been received on time, the Editor will be responsible for checking, correcting and passing all proofs for press. Any amendments or corrections should be sent to the Editor as soon as possible after notification that an article has been accepted for publication. The Editor reserves the right to reject alterations in proof owing to the high cost of printing.
