Style Sheet for the Moravian Journal of Literature and Film

·  Papers should be submitted in the Microsoft Word or RTF format in the present template (see page 3 of this file). Essays should conform to the humanities style (notes and bibliography), as defined in the current edition of The Chicago Manual of Style.

·  At the beginning of your paper include its title, your name and affiliation, the abstract, keywords, your mailing address, your email address.

·  The essays shall be followed by Bibliography. For references use footnotes, not endnotes. All sources included in the Bibliography must be referred to in the footnotes and vice versa.

·  Do not include parenthetical references in the text itself with the exception of page numbers in parentheses if you are frequently quoting from a primary text. But in such a case, do use an initial footnote citation for the primary text. Most likely only literary critics will be using page numbers in their texts to refer to a primary source, such as a novel. You can use abbreviations of titles of primary sources (the complete books only, not their parts) in the text––e.g., SC instead of Sophie’s Choice, but then the footnote citing the source must be followed by “Hereafter cited in text as SC.” Note that the abbreviation is always italicized.

·  Put titles of books in italics, titles of short stories, poems, essays, etc., in “quotation marks.” If you use foreign titles, follow the spelling and capitalization conventions of that specific language.

·  If you quote from unpublished sources list the data from specific to general: Letter from X to Y, Date, Box, Series, Collections, Depository.

·  Use the shortened form––author’s name, main word(s) of the title, and page(s)––if you quote from an already quoted source. Don’t use “Ibid.” or “op. cit.”

·  Use the American spelling and typography. Use double quotation marks for quotations, and single ones for quotations within quotations (in block quotations use the quotation marks used in the original, though). Do not hyphenate “African American” no matter its use (except in quotations). Capitalize “South” but not “southern” (except in quotations).

·  Follow the American style of putting the closing quotation marks after the period or comma at the end of your sentence, even if it is a partial quotation. The index follows a full stop, a comma, a semicolon, or a colon, but precedes a dash.

·  If your essay has internal titles, skip a line before each internal title within your essay. Do not indent the first paragraph after titles and block quotes.

·  Skip a line between your text and an indented block quotation, and skip a line following the indented quotation. The block quotation should be marked with the style BlockQuote.

·  Leave your text as simple as you can, any formatting beyond italics and paragraph breaks is undesirable. Use the tab function for indenting paragraphs and long block quotations. Do not skip lines between paragraphs.
