Call for article submissions. Society of Automotive Historians (SAH) "Automotive History Review"

Hi folks -- I just finished a new guidelines for the Automotive History Review. As the new editor, I hope to make this publication the very best specialist journal focusing on the history of automobile and related technologies, broadly interpreted. This is also a publication with a global, not American focus. I encourage you to consider sending me polished material for review and possible publication. I promise you will not be disappointed with the way your work will be reviewed.
Best wishes,
John

Authors wishing to submit articles for publication in the Automotive History Review

are requested to follow these guidelines: 

Manuscripts should not exceed 10,000 words, and should be double-spaced.  An abstract is requested.  Judging criteria include clear statement of purpose and testable hypothesis, accuracy and thoroughness of research, originality of the research, documentation, quality and extent of bibliographic resources, and writing style.  Diagrams, graphs, or photographs may be included.  Submissions are to be electronic, in Word or pdf files only, to the e-mail address below.

Possible subjects include but are not limited to historical aspects of motorized land mobility, automobile companies and their leaders, regulation of the auto industry, financial and economic aspects of the industry, the social and cultural effects of the automobile, motorsports, highway development, roadside architecture, environmental matters, and automotive marketing, design, engineering and safety.

The appropriate translation of tables, figures, and graphs can only be accomplished when sent in Word format since all files must be converted to Adobe Acrobat pdf format for publication in the Review. Remove any hidden commands (i.e., track changes) prior to submitting your electronic file. Incorporate tables in the text, rather than providing them separately. 

Photographs that are not especially sharp, such as those taken in the early 20th century, should be submitted as glossies 10 ensure best-quality reproduction. More contemporary photographs may be submitted as e-mail attachments. TIFF formal is preferable 10 JPEG. Resolution should be 300 dpi, but in any case, not be less than 150. 

The spelling of words that prevails in the United States should be used, e.g, "tires" rather than "tyres;" "color" rather than "colour." Dates should be expressed in the style used in the United States: month, day, year. However, if a publication is cited in which the date of publication is expressed as day, month, year, that style should be used. 

Measurements should be in English; followed, if the author chooses, by the metric equivalent within a parenthesis. 

Numbers over ten should be expressed in Arabic numbers (for example, "21st century." Numbers often or less should be spelled. The exception is units of quantity, such as a reference to a "4-door sedan" or a "6-cylinder" engine. If the engine is V-type, place a hyphen between the V and the number of cylinders, e.g. V-6. 

Titles of articles referenced should be in quotation marks (British authors should follow the American style of double marks instead of single marks, which seems to be now common in the UK). Titles of books, journals, newspapers, and magazines should be in italics. Following American practice, the period in a sentence ending in a quote should appear following the word, not following the closing quotation mark. However, semi-colons and colons appear outside the closing quotation mark. 

For ease of reference endnotes are preferable. When citing works, the following order, style, and punctuation should be used:

 Rudy Kosher, “Cars and Nations: Anglo-German Perspectives on Automobility Between the World Wars,” Theory, Culture, & Society, 21 (2004): 121-144.

Alfred P. Sloan, My Years with General Motors (Garden City, NJ: Doubleday & Company, 1964), 439‑442.

Where there is no doubt as to the state where the publisher is located (e.g. Boston, New York City) the state is omitted. When an endnote refers to a work referenced in the immediately preceding footnote, the word "Ibid." is used. When an endnote refers to a work referenced earlier in the article, the following style is used: Foster, op. cit., p. 54. If the author has used works that are not referenced in a endnote, they should be added at the end of the article under the title "Additional References."
