  • Guide for contributors

    Contributors are referred to the current edition of the MHRA Style Book, London: Modern Humanities Research Association.

    Articles and review articles should be submitted to the editors for consideration in a Microsoft Word file. They should not exceed the maximum prescribed length in each case: 8500 words (but preferably under this) for articles and 4,000 words for review articles. Book reviews should be between 500-800 words. The languages of publication are English and Russian. If the language of the article is not your own, you must include an attestation from a competent copy editor. All contributions should be submitted in a form ready for publication (without any need for the English/Russian or system of references to be corrected by the editors) and must conform to the following guidelines:

    • Orthography: British rather than US usage (theatre, not theater, -ise rather than -ize) should be observed
    • Transliteration: should follow the Library of Congress system (eg Dostoevskii), except for articles on linguistic topics, which should adhere to the ISO system (eg Dostojevskij); except in specific references to or quotations from sources in Russian, 'standard' anglicised forms of Russian names are acceptable (eg Dostoevsky)
    • Punctuation: single quotation marks should be used for single words and phrases and short quotations incorporated into the main text, double quotation marks for quotations within quotations (longer quotations should be indented and blocked with no quotation marks). Titles of novels, plays, monographs etc. are italicised; titles of short stories, book chapters and articles are enclosed in single quotation marks. Commas and full stops should be placed outside closing quotation marks; superscript footnote numbers after closing quotation marks or other punctuation signs
    • Documentation and referencing: all quotations should be documented by means of in-text citation (ie the Harvard author-date system, with a list of works cited listed at the end of the article). Manuscripts containing inconsistencies in this regard will not be corrected by the editors and will be returned to the author. The Harvard author-date system of references should refer to works within the body of the text in brackets, eg (Christian 1962, 87). The list of works should appear at the end of the article in the same format as those listed above, but with the year of publication appearing directly after the name of the author of authors
