AJ follows the Chicago Manual of Style, 14th edition. Maximum length for most manuscripts is 25 pages, not including notes and tables. Research manuscripts are blind refereed by three readers, and the review process typically takes about three months. Five manuscript copies should be submitted. Manuscripts will be returned only if the author has included a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Research notes are typically three- to six-page manuscripts, often written without formal documentation. Such notes, which are not refereed, may include reports of research in progress, discussions of methodology, annotations on archival sources, commentaries on issues in journalism history, or suggestions for future research. Authors may submit research notes with or without first querying the editor.
