Early Modern Japanese Art History

Subheadings should be Times New Roman 12 point font bold, and flush left.

Italicize Japanese words in the text. Do not italicize Japanese words that commonly appear in English language publications such as samurai, shogun, bakufu, haiku, noh/nō, etc.

If possible, produce macrons over vowels; if you can not produce macrons over vowels, choose a consistent, distinctive (e.g., not used for any other purpose in your essay text, notes, or citations) symbol, e.g., circumflex or umlaut, and clearly note on the title page what convention you are following so our search-and-replace routines can quickly make the the substitutions.  

EMJ employs footnotes, not endnotes. Please follow the Chicago Manual of Style, 13^th edition. We typically employ the same font and size for notes as for the main text of the article. Italicize the names of books, newspapers, journals, and the like.

EMJ can use black and white illustrations. Please submit these in a standard format (e.g., jpg, gif, tiff, or pdf; however, we can handle anything that Adobe Photoshop version 6.01 can edit.). Originals may be submitted in color, but you should test to see how well they convert to grayscale before you decide to include them. Clearly label illustrations in sequence and provide captions clearly associated with each illustration.

In composing charts and tables, bear in mind that we employ two columns per page and, with our software, mixing a large table or chart (one larger than a single column) with the two-column format can sometimes fail. Specially formatted text can present the same challenge. For reference, each column is 20.03 characters wide with the font setting as noted above.
