Title page 

Please include the main title and subtitle, the author’s name, current institutional affiliation and author’s e-mail address. 

Text body 

The main text body should be in block style and organized with first-level headings and second-level headings. 

Pages 

Pages should be numbered, inclusive the title page. 

Style

Please follow The Chicago Manual of Style.

Headings

The main title should be 14-point font (Times New Roman). All the subheadings should be in italicized and 12-point font (Times New Roman). Use bold to indicate first-level headings and italics for second-level headings, like this:

This is a first-level heading
This is a second-level heading

Citations and references

Place your in-text citations in parentheses and include the author’s name and the source’s year of publication, like this: (Das 2007). For quotations or extensive paraphrases, include the page numbers preceded by a comma (not a colon): (Das2007, 146–147). Do not include the date of original publication or the abbreviations ed. or trans.; save these for the reference list. For multiple citations in one parenthetical, list them alphabetically, separate them with semicolons, and use commas to separate the years corresponding to multiple citations from a single author, like this:

(Ghassem-Fachandi 2009; Green 1995; Kirsch 2002, 2010).

On the reference list, include every source cited in the text and no others, listed alphabetically by author. Set multiple entries by the same author in chronological order, from oldest to most recent. The layout is as follows, formatted with hanging indentation:

Do not use tabs or spaces to create the hanging indentation; use the ruler, as explained by the Microsoft Word help page.

Do not use dashes to replace repeated author names. Just repeat the names

Do not embed the reference list in the endnotes.

Footnotes

Please use footnotes not endnotes. Footnotes should be brief, directly relevant to the text, and limited in number. In the main text, place footnote reference numbers at the ends of sentences only, using Arabic numerals.

Languages other than English 

Italics are used for words and phrases in languages beside English. If the same word or phrase appears quite often in the text, it need be italicized only on its first occurrence. If it appears rarely, the phrase or word need be italicized throughout the text. 

Translation of terms from other languages 

The translation of a word or phrase is enclosed in parentheses or quotation marks. 

Illustrations and Tables 

Illustrations should appear as soon as possible after the first reference in the text. Please present Tables as well as Illustrations separately from the run of the text.
