Popular Government Manuscript Submission
Guidelines
Popular Government welcomes submissions of manuscripts consistent
with our mission: serving the interests of North Carolina citizens and
public officials on public issues, civic concerns, and government operations.
Popular Government is meant for a general readership, and authors
must be mindful of that focus. While our material covers a wide range
of topics and includes formal studies, issue analysis, and program evaluation,
the emphasis is on practical scholarship.
The other important component is the journal's focus on a North Carolina
audience. Studies based on material from outside of North Carolina,
or of national interest, are most welcomed when they effectively address
the context of North Carolina.
The following provide specific guidance on manuscript preparation,
submission and review.
John B. Stephens, Editor
Popular Government
INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS OF POPULAR GOVERNMENT ARTICLES
Popular Government appears three times each year. Typically,
the editor-in-chief asks an author to write an article nine months before
it is scheduled to appear. He or she indicates the subject, maximum
length, and deadline for the first draft. The deadline is usually about
five to six months before the issue appears.
The review process begins when the first draft arrives. During the
first month after the manuscript arrives, it is read with respect to
its content and acceptability for publication by the editor and one
or more people knowledgeable in the subject field. The manuscript may
then be returned to the author with suggestions for revisions, and the
author has about two-four weeks to revise and submit a new draft. This
version goes to the editorial staff, who will edit for style and clarity
and will communicate directly with the author as necessary. The edited
manuscript again goes to the author for his or her approval or rejection
of any editorial changes. Changes to which the author objects are subject
to negotiation with the editor and editorial staff. In the unlikely
event that agreement cannot be reached, the author is free to withdraw
the article.
PREPARING THE MANUSCRIPT
The editors of Popular Government try to make the magazine comprehensible
to the average reader interested in government and policy. Most people
who are asked to do an article for Popular Government write perfectly
well for specialists in their field, but we may simplify their language
to make it understandable to a lay audience. In doing so, we rely on
the Webster's Third New International Dictionary, the Chicago
Manual of Style, and Fowler's Modern English Usage for matters
of spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
Format. Please print your manuscript double-spaced on 8½
x 11-inch sheets (even footnotes and quotations should be double-spaced).
Also, please attach the article to an e-mail or send a computer disk
(with no unrelated files). Please indicate in your e-mail (or on the
disk) the program and version you used to create it (e.g., Word for
Windows 98). We are able to read or translate documents created in many
popular word-processing programs-but not all.
Footnotes. While in general Popular Government prefers
to avoid footnoting, many articles require some documentation. This
information (for example, cases or statute numbers) should appear in
footnotes rather than in the text. Footnotes should be placed at the
end of the manuscript rather than at the bottom of the page, since they
will be set in a different size of type from the text type. Footnotes
generally follow the Harvard Bluebook. (The main exception is that we
include the name of the publisher of books and the place of publication,
which the Bluebook does not require.). If you are unclear as to the
style to follow in footnotes, please provide complete publication information,
and the editors can put it into the desired footnote form.
Tables. Tables should be typed double-spaced throughout, one
to a page. Please put the tables in a separate electronic file from
the text of the article and just indicate in the article where you think
the table should be inserted. Please keep tables as simple as possible.
Embellishments may be stripped out during design and put in using our
layout software.
Graphs. Graphs should be drawn clearly so we can understand
the information you want depicted. However, we will redraw your graph
to conform to our layout parameters and design style. Our version will
be sent to you for approval. If you submit your graphs electronically,
please tell us what program you used to generate them.
Photographs. We welcome pictures or other illustrations. Photographs
must be pertinent to the subject matter, clear enough to reproduce well,
and (ideally) printed on glossy paper. We prefer black and white photographs,
but color prints or slides can be used. Size is irrelevant, since (within
reason) we can reduce or enlarge. You can send us electronic versions
of photographs to preview. If possible, do not send us the only copy
you have of any photograph.
PROOF
You will be sent page proofs of your article. Your promptness
in returning this material (usually within 5 days) is essential if we
are to meet our deadlines. Changes can be made in proof only to correct
errors in type or matters of fact and after approval by the editor.
(A professional proofreader will also proofread your article against the
final manuscript copy, which you will have already approved.)
REPRINTS
The School of Government regularly posts the complete text of many
of the articles from Popular Government on its Web site, NCINFO,
in both PDF and HTML formats. Rights for use of all text, photography,
and illustrations in Popular Government or any other School publications
or promotional material shall be understood to cover both print and
electronic use in any medium. Popular Government is copyrighted,
and the School holds the copyright. The School reserves the right to
post such items (and authorize others to do the same) without additional
notice to, permission from, or payment to the writer.
After the magazine has been published, you may reproduce copies of
your article provided that the following acknowledgment appears on the
first page:
Example: Reprinted from Popular Government Vol.
67, No.3 (Spring 2002), published by the School of Government, The University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, copyright 2002.
