Manuscript Preparation

All manuscripts accepted for publication must respect the 10,000 word limit (including footnotes/ bibliography) unless otherwise arranged, adhere to the layout instructions specified below, and follow the Chicago Manual of Style, 18th edition (notes & bibliography), for all grammatical and citation queries not answered here.

The text should be aligned flush left and ragged right; do not justify or center. Use hard returns at the end of paragraphs only. Let your software make line breaks (word wrap), and do not add extra line spaces between paragraphs. Please do not include any running headers or footers (although page numbers are acceptable). 

Use abbreviations sparingly. Where used, ensure that the first mention of the phrase or term is spelled out in full, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Use the abbreviation alone in subsequent instances.

For abbreviations of biblical books, see the comprehensive list compiled by the Journal of Biblical Studies. Please do not improvise on format.

 

Layout

1) Title. The first page starts with the article title and the first letter of each word is capitalized according to CMS formatting (headline style). The title is in Garamond, 20pt. A line break follows the title.

2) Abstract. The abstract follows the blank line with the title “Abstract” in bold. A colon follows the title and the abstract text immediately follows on the same line. The abstract should not exceed 250 words, and is followed by a line break.

3) Keywords. Keywords (Max. 5) follow with the same formatting as the abstract and are separated by commas (no period at the end). One line break follows the keywords.

4) Text body. The body of the text follows and is to be between 6,000 and 10,000 words (including footnotes/bibliography), in Times New Roman (TNR) font, 11pt.

5) Headers and sub-headers should be centered and appear in bold, also in TNR 11pt. A full line break should appear between the header/sub-header and the body of text that follows.

6) Paragraphs. Each paragraph (including those immediately following headers and sub-headers) has an indent of 1.27 cm at the first line. There are no spaces between paragraphs, except before headers/sub-headers.

7) Figures and tables.  Figures, images, photographs, drawings, tables, and diagrams are directly inserted into the text in context and are centered. They must be labeled with appropriate credits for copyright and in accordance with McGill’s copyright policy.

8) Acknowledgements. Acknowledgements, if any, should be the first footnote.  

9) Citations. Citations are to be formatted as footnotes (long form) and follow CMS guidelines. Please note that a full bibliography is also required.

10) Foreign languages. Non-transliterated foreign languages should be in original script and transliterated foreign languages should be italicized.

A note on anonymous authorship: JCREOR will consider allowing anonymous authorship (i.e., the use of a pseudonym) in instances where the author has reasonable grounds to believe that publishing under their real name would cause them harm or subject them to undue reprisal. In cases of anonymous authorship, the identity of the author must still be disclosed to JCREOR.
