Volume IV, Spring 2014

Trans-Scripts – an interdisciplinary online journal in the Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of California, Irvine – invites graduate students to submit their work for publication. The theme of the fourth volume will be announced shortly.

Submission Guidelines and Review Process

All submissions should be written in English. The total word count should be between 3,000 and 12,000 words, including footnotes. Explanatory footnotes should be kept to a minimum.

Submissions should employ the MLA style of citation. For in text citations see the following style sheet from the University of Georgia. For bibliographic citations see the style sheet compiled by the Macon State College Library. For further help with MLA style, please refer to the MLA Handbook for Research Writers, 7th Edition, 2009, or view the Purdue MLA style guide online at http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/.

All pieces should be submitted as a word document attached in an email to transscriptsjournal@gmail.com. The email should include your name, institution, program/department, and an email address at which you can be contacted. Any queries may be directed to the same email address. Please also include a short abstract of less than 300 words describing the content and argument of the piece.

Each piece will be reviewed by both members of the editorial collective and one of the journal’s faculty advisors from the relevant discipline(s). Pieces accepted for publication will then be returned to the author with editorial suggestions. The editors will do all they can to give authors as much time as possible to make changes to their submissions after review.
