Welsh Journals

Notes for contributors of articles and reviews Preparation of typescripts. Articles submitted should be typed using double spacing on one side of A4 paper with wide margins, unjustified on the right. Pages should be numbered throughout consecutively. Preparation of typescripts on disk. Once a paper has been accepted for publication it may be sent to the relevant editor in disk form, provided that a hard copy/printout of the full up-to-date text has also been submitted. Authors should retain a backup copy of both disk and printout of their papers. Please consult UWP about preparation of disks. Footnotes should not exceed an average maximum of 25 per cent of the printed page. They too should be supplied in double-spacing and separately from the text, at the end of the article, and they should be numbered consecutively. Tables, maps and diagrams will appear within the printed page but should be provided on a separate page in the typescript and their position indicated by a marginal note in the text. Complicated diagrams should as far as possible be submitted in camera-ready form, but the editors should be consulted in case of diffi- culty. References in the text to illustrative material should take the form 'Table 1' etc. for tables and 'Figure 1' etc. for other forms of illustration, not 'in the following diagram' since there is no guarantee that pagination will allow this precise positioning. Style of text Quotations within running text should be in single quote marks (double for quotes within quotes). Quota- tions of more than fifty words should be indented without quotation marks and with a line space before and after. Underline words which are to appear in italic. Single words or short phrases in languages other than English should be in italic, but quotations in another language should not. Dates should be expressed as 1 January 1996; the 1990s; the fourteenth century (but 'a fourteenth- century manuscript'); 1888-9; 1914-18 (not 1914-8). Numbers up to ninety-nine should be spelt out in full except in a list of statistics or in percentages (e.g. 25 per cent). Use -ize endings when given as an alternative to -ise. Capitalization should be kept to .a minimum in the text; for titles, initial capitals should only be used when attached to a personal name (thus King Henry V, Bishop William Morgan, but 'the king of England'. 'the bishop of St Asaph' etc.) References. References in the footnotes should be given in the following format (not in the Harvard system): Books: D. W. Howell. Patriarchs and Parasites: The Gentry of South-West Wales in the Eighteenth Centun (Cardiff, 1986), p. 320. Articles in an edited volume: G. Williams, 'Local and national history in Wales', in D. H. Owen (ed.). Settlement and Society in Wales (Cardiff, 1989), pp. 7-26. (Note the use of lower case for all initial letters except the first in the article title.) Articles in a journal: F. O'Gorman, 'The politics of deference'. Journal of Modern History, VI (1984). 407. U. Henriques. 'The Jewish community of Cardiff, 1813-1914', ante, 14 (2) (1988), 269-300. (for references to previous issues of Welsh History Review) Unpublished theses: G. A. Plume, 'The enclosure movement in Caernarvonshire with special reference to the Porth yr Aur papers' (unpublished MA thesis, University of Wales, 1935), 63. Manuscripts: National Library of Wales, Ellis papers, 1698, 1699. University College of North Wales, Lloyd Papers, MSS 314, no. 592. For authorities and locations to which continual reference is made, an abbreviated form can be established on the first occurrence by the use of square brackets, e.g. Lfetters and] P[apers of Henry VI/Jj. On the second or subsequent occurrences of a reference, a short form of the title may be used e.g. Howell, Patri- archs and Parasites; Henriques, 'The Jewish community'. Copyright.
