Submissions

CSSH welcomes submissions. Essays should be written in such a way that complex issues are made intelligible and appealing to erudite readers who are not specialists in the subject under investigation. The editors prefer that essays be concise. Manuscripts will not be accepted for review that exceed fourteen thousand words in length, including notes and bibliography (but not the abstract). The majority of articles accepted for publication in CSSH are under twelve thousand words in length, and the editors may suggest that an article be shortened as a condition of acceptance. Authors are required to attach an abstract of no more than 250 words in length, including a concise description of their hypothesis, methodology, key sources, and conclusions.
